    Well, it's sort of something I took for granted. I had never used any except one of the languages I studied in the past for practical purposes, so I understand forgetting vocabulary in those. However, I had used Serbian for over a decade, so I didn't expect to suddenly forget common words so easily. I'm mostly wondering if it was possibly specific memory displacement.

    It was just a little unnerving, and I was walking around with a cigarette not fully prepared to research it.

    I could appreciate having that ability, but I'm not very good at picking up tongues. Even in English, if you pronounce a word or sentence slightly different than I'm expecting, you'd probably have to repeat it several more times before I give up and ask you to write or spell it. I said "What?" quite frequently as a kid and I used to mumble before I began forcing myself to enunciate.

    It shouldn't be surprising that I study pronunciation straight from textbooks. I usually end up with either good pronunciation or a very ambiguous accent. Actually, it's the same in English, for I've been asked if I have an accent in English on occasion. It reminds me of...

    Let's make an augmented reality app where we can punch each other in the face.

    Speaking of getting old and augmented reality, I decided I would try to get into this Pokémon Go thing. I never got into it before, but I thought it might be interesting while traveling around Tokyo.

    So, I was quite surprised to learn that there are no Pokémon in Japan, like, at all. There goes my dream of walking into the street with my head down and getting creamed by a milf on a bike.

    That's not conjugated in the imperative form.

    Emojis are hard, so I'll just describe it. I'm slapping your face cheeks with my flaccid penis.

    I haven't cared enough about Pokeymen to care if they are imperative or not.

    I was out running today sans shirt and some 50+ year old woman told me that I had a nice chest.

    Is that a compliment and if so then why did it make me feel sick?
    Respect my lack of authority.

    Because she looked poor?

    I didn't even mention that on the same run some random guy told me I was really in shape.

    Old women and ghey guys, I should probably look into becoming a male prostitute at this rate.
