yeah, um, so that's a strange choice!

Ah, Ya ponimayo! I actually have a tremendous amount of pictures, some of them bring back things I would rather forget though! We spent most of the time completely in the wilderness miles and miles away from anything. The closest "town" Ust' Kuyga was extremely small and it was ~ 30 miles away one we were done hiking/boating/tractoring our way through the tundra. The mosquito populations are totally out of control there by the way. It would have been difficult to breathe for how saturated the air was with mosquitoes.

i can't speak russian. i simply know how to say "HI MAMA, YES I ATE, ALOT, YES, YES, NO I DON'T NEED BRANDY, THANKYOU"



it's a great language but i find it very hard. lithuanian is easier because i hear it all the time. i would recommend just watching loads of russian movies withouth subtitles to get the rhythm, then it's easier to learn what you just saw.

i can't imagine how beautiful the things you have seen are. got photos?

pachimu is why (literally "done of what" i think) payetamu is therefore. patamushta is because.

ja nigavariu pa russky patamushta ja v litvie. i think that's right!

Haha, I can pick up most of that, but I'm missing a couple of those words from my vocabulary. I'm still new to the language and have only the basics..
Here's what I think you said:
You don't (something) speak russian (perhaps don't speak much russian) You only understand some words: hello, mom, ??, very, yes, yes, no (something), thanks

I'm also not sure what Pachymu is, but presumably that asks why I went to Yakutsk?

I was there for about a month doing research near Ust' Kuyga. It will be Alaska next summer, to the Bendeleben mountains...

It's a good clip. I meant no disrespect--I like your vids.

In reply to this comment by residue:
let me know if you ever stumble on it, I know I've seen sleeping cat videos on here (surprise!), but I don't remember this one

In reply to this comment by oxdottir:
I know i've seen this on the sift, but finding a particular cat video on here is really hard.

Tags. Let's see: cat. Yeah. Now what? sleeping? yawn? wake up?

bleah.

You can embed just about anything when you get the gold star. If I remember correctly it's explained in the FAQ somewhere.

In reply to this comment by residue:
hey, how'd you get that to embed? That sucker better climb to the top.

In reply to this comment by rasch187:
Just posted it. Great find, residue!

^ mandelgroove, set to a bunch of random BMG clips, but upon closer inspection, the two just have parts that sound similar, basically the guitar from 2:38 - 2:55, it's usually longer then that, but I can't find a longer version unfortunately

In reply to this comment by residue:
which part is mandelgroove? I thought it was just PVC IV. BMG is an incredible show. I've always been partial to drumbone

I will vote ANYTHING with the blue man group in it up.

AND part/most of this is of my favourite BMG song, Mandelgroove

Where's mandelgroove? I thought it was just PVC IV. BMG is an incredible show. I've always been partial to drumbone

It was just a small attempt at humor- please don't take offense. Allow me to explain and thereby neutralise it:

Choggie has a reputation for cryptic, some would say incoherent comments. Your silver star indicates that you are an experienced sifter and have been around for awhile. So the humor lies in the conundrum that you are an experienced Sifter but are unaware that most of Choggie's comments are difficult to understand.

Man, you know when I explain it like that- it's hilarious.

In reply to this comment by residue:
There's no angst in my comment, Choggie's comment just seemed really strange to me and I thought that I might have missed something.

As far as the silver star, I noticed that I had it with only 24 sifts. Does the star have something to do with choggie or an applauded comment? If so, is there any way to figure out which one?

In reply to this comment by dag:
^ Confusing comment from Choggie you say?



Where did you get that silver star from young one?

Damn. And that was a good one too. I tried to find a replacement, but the video is too niche. Thanks for letting me know.

Why thank you, good man (lady). I must say that my default IS the top hat, as a gentlecat should be properly attired for Sifing. It's serious buisness.
