I haven’t had the time… okay, scratch that: I haven’t had the energy to do any constructive preparation for a really relevant blog entry here in the past three days, having spent some time on the couch shaking away the rest of my cold while watching the first season of Monk with my parents (yes, this is the mysterious place I’ve been to, stranded a good 250 km from my house! And Monk is a really great series, by the way.). As a result, I think I can safely answer the call of tagging placed upon me by Lee lately, although I really don’t know as of yet who I’m going to tag. It looks to me like every and each of you have already been tagged in this. So here are the rules:

1. Delve into your blog archive.2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions. Ponder it for meaning, subtext or hidden agendas…5. Tag five people to do the same.

The sentence is: The English version of this blog remains here, where it has always been. (You can also access it through the domain name ylogs.com.)Yep, it was about having created a separate French version of this blog, and to be honest, I’d better had shot myself on that day rather than putting my foot in my mouth and bragging about it, since this proved a bigger task than expected. I don’t regret it, I like having my blog in two different languages, but it’s like having to write every post twice, and it often discourages me from thinking of longer, more detailed entries that I don’t want to completely translate. Well, at least it forces me to not gloss and babble for pages on end, which is probably a good thing in the end.Now to find someone to tag… My mind is completely blank. Really.

    Grrrr. I just typed this whole response and my stupid computer! lost it…this is not my day.Basically I was saying I found your French version (after I don’t know how many visits…ok I wasn’t being very observant!!) And it was good cause it got me reading French again…I’m losing it cause I haven’t used it in so long. I have to get back into it!Sorry for the shorten version 🙂

    So I’m not the only one to have seperated her blogs due to ‘bilinguism’ ^__^(But since I hardly ever post anyway…)Yes, Monk is a good series.I hope you managed to shake away your cold enough to stop it coming back. That’s the worse about colds, they tend to linger…Tah~ (Random comment over)

    Aye, at first I had all text in English and French in the same entry, but it was making for long, long posts, and probably more confusing than anything else… so I separated them. As for the cold, thanks goodness it went away, but I still need to recover my voice fully. I almost looked like a rude one at work yesterday because no one could hear it when I was answering to their helloes LOLAnd Jennifer, feel free to read the French version at will, I’m glad to know that at least more than just two or three people read it 😉
