20 Words Untranslatable into English (via)---fascinating. I wish that these words did exist in English, no doubt. I'm pretty sure that tartle is my favorite.

December 2010 Blizzard Timelapse Angle 2 from Michael Black on Vimeo.
Time-lapse of the blizzard on the East Coast. Oh snow. You are wonderful.
And a thank-you to Kempt for the great mashup links!
Things to look forward to: (and things that have already happened)
--Holiday pictures from friends. I love seeing the smiles, the babies, the trees, the snow. Keep them coming!
--massage one of four---I've been able to scope out deals on Living Social and Groupon lately, and I'll be getting a massage once a month til April. My shoulders can hardly stand the wait.
--snow in Boston (see here for pictures)
--McCormick wine-tasting seminar; though I still have frustrations (black cherry or regular cherry...how do you tell the difference?!) --it's been very educational. I now know the difference between a sauvignon blanc and a cabernet sauvignon. Fancy.

This made me laugh...hard.
I love how most of those words are either related to soul-crushing misery or unbearably romantic sweetness. Does this mean that English is lacking those sentiments?
It seems like it! English is a language of reason and practicality, not necessarily hyperbolic emotion. Too bad, though...it makes it a whole lot less fun.
