I saw a documentary on Giorgione and I suddenly feel like reading Vasari. I'm sure it'll pass. I'd like to write something else but it's late.

The Otava Yo clip was oddly hypnotizing - maybe it was due to the guy who never blinked? Or maybe it was the goat.

And they lived happily ever after.

Still listening to other S. King books. The books are now more enjoyable.
If I try to analyze what's happening, I can say that I have more Polish processing power (PPP). I picked up new words and they range from words that register as strictly Polish (like moczymorda, kochanie, chować, czołg, chwila), Polish with weak lookalikes in other languages, (wszystko), words I understand but I am not sure where they're coming from (lecz, chyba, cofnąć), words and constructions that may have corresponding words in Russian which I cannot recall (inhibition?), etc. For the most part I am not aware of what's going on except that the language is clearer.
I have been listening to Polish in my free time while doing other things (including watching TV*). I don't think this adds up to many hours.
*low quality, not recommended

Audiobook (US pulp)
Incomprehensible. I can recognize the occasional word. I sort of feel like dropping the idea.
Audiobook, (HC Andersen)
I can understand some mini scenes and narrative kernels. Very motivating
Prior exposure: a couple of hours of TV watching in the 1990s.

"Co za smród, co za smród, kurwa, co za smród!"
I can now sort of follow that pulp audiobook.

That incomprehensible pulp audiobook is now mostly comprehensible.

Re: Team Me: Foxing Around
Could explain about what you've done/are doing with Polish? How did you first start out, what's your ability level like now (I know that difficult to explain, but maybe something about how well you understand the audiobooks you listen to, whether or not you read the text at the same time, etc...) and approximately how long (in terms of hours or length of time) it took you to get there? I'm very curious to know more about your experience.
If you've written about this somewhere else and don't want to rehash it, just direct me to where I can find it. Thanks!
