Planning to pack for your next business trip you think "What can I leave behind to let me bring more L2 materials back with me." and the answer is "Basically - everything."

So guilty! :) I recently even heard myself saying to my better half: "if we remove half the clothes on this trip, we'll be able to bring some of my Irish books" (lol - poor girl, look at what she has to live with!).
At least you can tell her in several languages that you love her, and it actually means something to you (ie it's more than a bunch of memorized words).

....When given $150 as birthday gift, you spent it on a Colloquial Slovak book with audio
CDs, a French grammar and a Hugo in 3 month Greek book. And your friend asked, when on
Earth are you going to use Greek and Slovak in Singapore after you learn them?

When you find yourself translating "are you afraid of my mad skillz?" into your target
language and then walking around muttering it to yourself until it just rolls off
your tongue.

You know, in case you ever need it.

When you realize, that you even use Google, Youtube, Facebook, etc. in a language different than English or your native one. :X:D

Sorry to get a bit off-topic, but I have a question: I downloaded this app and love it, but it automatically shows the time in German and I can't figure out how to change the language. I've clicked on the words showing the current time, double-clicked on them, right-clicked, opened the add-ons menu... and still nothing. Does anyone know how to change this? The download page doesn't seem to have any information on how to change the language.

I experienced the same problem when I first added this to Firefox on my Macbook. If you right-click on the time in the bottom corner as before (and if it's anything like on my system, hopefully this will work), you'll notice a second menu hiding slightly behind the first right-click menu that pops up. Just click on this and choose your language option and hey presto!
