Our Media Addiction

Listening to The Flaming Lips. Mainly Fight Test and Bad Days . Fight Test is the theme song of 3-South , a short-lived (surprise) cartoon about college life. Both 3-South and Undergrads are some of my favorite cartoons, just because they focus on the same issue in different ways, of getting used to living on your own. I moved out at 18 to go to college, and did fine. Even with a high school friend as a roommate that flaked out and abandoned me. Now, I'm 25 and have successfully lived alone for the last year.

Hi, guys! I'd like to tell you about my experience in translating! So, what I translated (from English into Russian) was one episode from CSI Las Vegas Season 9!

And what it means for me, for a beginner? It means that I can translate! Of course, I need more experience, more confidence! I also try to study, reading in English and other languages, mesmerizing words... I'm sure one day I will become very professional and competent in translation and interpretation! Let's get back to CSI Las Vega...
