At certain points it's almost like I can understand exactly what they're saying, but I still don't
know what it's about. It's sort of the opposite of knowing the general topic but missing the details; I can
recognize details, but I'm still just that much in the dark that the context escapes me.

Yes, I sometimes get that in my reading too: I know the individual words but just can't make out what on earth
they mean when strung together. I try to tell myself, "It's a good thing; it means you're reading more complex
sentences...." </self delusion>.

By the way, I'm really enjoying your log. - Quite a delightful and humorous treat. (And so frequent,
too. I keep resolving to have more short posts, more often, as you and others like Tastyonions do; but I
unfortunately tend to be long-winded and procrastinating.)
