Well I think I'm becoming a language nerd.
Following Fanatic's advice, I've been carrying my ipod and Assimil Italian With Ease around and grabbing extra moments of study when I can.
Late last night I left the book on the train. I called the station but to no avail. At 6am, when they open, I called again. No luck. I now feel naked without the feel of that book in my pocket.

Or when your 1TB external hard drive is nearly full with more language-related crap than can ever possibly be learned by anyone in just one lifetime. |

Or when you have a 1.5TB internal, 320GB and 500GB externals, multiple bookshelves (overflowing), of language-related crap....and you still convince yourself that you can learn it all!?!

Forgot about the last part. Not a problem though, because I actually will learn it all even, if it does take the next few hundred years :)

... or to invent the technology to have your brain uploaded to a computer before you die,
so you can live on to learn them all AND have the memory capabilities of a computer while
you do it. *drool*

Please don't drool on my language material... :(
It's not all digitized/uploaded, and I don't want the pages to stick together.
