script...

so having figured out the farsi writing function in xp (thanks to my lovely cousin), the first thing i did was figure out how to write my own name… that’s going to come in really handy. i mean all those places where i have to write my name. so numerous i’m losing count.

technically i don’t actually need the farsi language on my machine. but the truth is that all these farsi sayings and proverbial phrases have permeated my brain to the point that i think for the first time in two decades i’m better at expressing myself in a language other than english. that’s not to say that my technical vocabulary or command of business/formal farsi even compares to my english, but i think the two languages are getting equal playing time in my mind. they co-exist and the only people that i can communicate most effectively with are other bi-linguals sharing the same dual language issues. being lost for words is a common day occurrence though if i am trying to express feeling and emotion-based things in english, or technical stuff in farsi.
