...but I'm posting anyway. Cos it bugs me.

So, I'm watching the America's Next Top Model marathon on MTV (yeah, yeah, laugh it up). And it's from the season before this latest one. And in this particular episode, the remaining girls are sent to Spain. Their first challenge - they have to do a commercial. In Catalan. Not just Spanish. But Catalan. And it ticks me off cos the judges are all harsh on them cos only one girl managed to sort of do it right. Dude. It's a completely foreign language and a very regional dialect at that. They had not even 24 hours to memorize the script. Of course they're gonna suck ass at it. Grrr.

Hey, I'll reply *grin*

It's really unfair for them to be that harsh. I would have liked to see the judges try, because Catalan is a very hard language. As it is a Celtic language. Its related to the Welsh language and also the Irish and Scots Gaelic.

I'll crawl back into my linguistic hole now.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

It's Celtic? That's very interesting.

Yeah, Tyra spit out a few Spanish phrases but nothing like what the girls had to do.

hey I watch ANTM too *shame* :p
I love seeing how they do the photography. I thought they were a bit too harsh about the Catalan too.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Hey, no shame now!! For some reason, I got sucked into Canada's Next Top Model. Can you say DRAMA? Dude, it was worse than ANTM. So awesome.

Completely OT question, but are you going to the breakfast at the con on sunday?

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Ah, OK. Are you on Gateworld? There's a thread for the con over there. Maybe try posting to see if anyone there is interested?

[eviljr.livejournal.com]

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure! Not a prob.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Oh, how much? Whatever the regular price is?

[eviljr.livejournal.com]

The cost is 80 but I was going to sell it for 60.

[switch842.livejournal.com]
