В тоя светъл ден си отбелязвам какво ме осени за идущата есен (какво ме есени? ):

Че е време пак да организирам преводаческа работилница - към английски, по художествени текстове. Понеже щом ще завладяваме света, ще ни трябват, ъъъ, войски?

"A Tale of Heroes and Villains": (...) I did, however, finally get a chance to read the story you sent me. It's beautiful!
