Good to hear that. Lots of luck with L-R'ing!

Day 2: Quite a lot of hours of Polish music, and about an hour of L-R.

Between today not being a holiday, and feeling ill, I didn't do all that much. My Polish vocabulary is growing, but not always in the most useful directions. I realized yesterday that I know three ways to say (approximately) 'idiot' in Polish. On the other hand, my grasp of numbers remains rather shaky. While I've seen the words for 'train station' and 'airport', I don't remember them - although I do remember 'river', 'bread', 'elves', and 'orcs'. I keep forgetting 'tree', but I don't think I'll have that problem by the end of LOTR!

I also listened to the first chapter of "The Master and Margarita", which is about half an hour long, as I happen to have it sitting on my mp3 player. I could still understand most of it, though some of the more inconsequential phrases have fled my memory.

I am very glad that it's the weekend now; I hope to live up better to the spirit of this challenge for the next two days, before work intervenes again.

Not true, Volte's been studying. Also unnecessarily mean.

I second that. And I'd add, frivolous and of no consequence. Seems Mr. B. can't help being unfunny.

While this post is frivolous, I shall write it nonetheless.
bacchanalian: Please stay out of any thread I originate, or at least, any of my learning logs. I would prefer not to communicate further with you, as you have been resorting to personal attacks recently.

You are a very, very annoying person and have all the charm of a rapist.

(No offense.)

And music is a very good supplementary medium for learning a language.
