Yiddish, with Dick and Jane.

Woah. I can't believe I've never seen a VidLit before. These are hilarious. Between the above and the How I paid for College (and Craziest. Holy fuck.)


Went browsing through the internet this afternoon, and found this: Pince-Nez glasses on eBay. For about $32 Australian, with no bids as yet. I am seriously tempted. Look at that temptation: it's all tempty. I think I'll wait until tomorrow (the bidding closes tomorrow, or more accurately, the morning afterwards) and come back and look again.
...which is the main reason why I'm blogging about it: so I'll remember.
There's another pair there, too, but it's 6 days away from the final bid.
Two more links for my own use: here and here.
I should have come straight to eBay instead of dicking around on Google trying to find shops that sell them.

Sod it all. Have put my glasses down somewhere and cannot find them again. I was certain I had left them outside after dashing in when the storm broke, but I've been out three times and no luck. What have I done with them? This is most vexing, and I always get a headache when I ahve to go without my glasses. Botheration.

"Are you an actor?"
"No, I'm just dramatic."

ARGH my eyes feel like they've been replaced with large, hot stones. I guess I should probably go to bed. I'll have to catch up with my friends' list another time.

I always find those things interesting, if only because I recognise some of the more common words, but don't always know that they're Yiddish. Ah, the wonders of slang...
