The newest Harry Potter I bought only has like 3 options which sucks, I liked 2-5 because I could watch it with my L2 subs on.

I know. They have only western European languages on the one that has all the languages. NO Russian OR Czech :(. And not all the languages that have audio have subtitles. Only the BluRay discs have it though, which sucks because our BluRay player is really bad and won't play correctly.

I just came home early from the New Years Eve party (it's 12:43). I got bored and faced with the decision between learning more Japanese characters and hanging out in a noisy bar with a whole bunch of drunk monolingual English speakers, the choice was clear.
Bring on the kanji!
EDIT: How weird is that? The first kanji my SRS drilled me on was 歳, whose Heisig keyword is "year's end".

From the past few posts, I'd say you're in good company. It's 33 minutes past midnight in my neck of the woods, and I'm sitting here catching up on this thread. What a wild party animal I am. :P

...when the highlight of your day is digging through a box of discarded free books outside a shop, with a few centimeters of snow on them...and finding an old Teach Yourself Swahili book from 1966! :D

When you watch UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) with your buddies and between rounds
you hear Brazilian fighter Thiago Silva getting some tips from his coaches and you
actually have some interest in listening to the Portuguese they are speaking.

When you insist to your boyfriend that it's fun trying to identify all of the 20 something languages on an IKEA shower soap bottle or beach ball.
