Notes on pop culture

Posted on July 31, 2009 at 06:31am

My mom likes to take notes on pop culture for future reference on whatever is close by, usually the mail. I channel flipped to Harry Potter and she asked me which one it was. I answered and she proceeded to jot it down:

harry-potter

  • nice post
  • Matoda
    Your mom can spell "phoenix" but not "Harry"? LOL.

    It's funny because my parents used to leave us notes all the time on random scraps of paper, junk mail, and old envelopes!
  • sfgirl33
    typical fob mom handwriting!
  • mochiXmanju
    hahahaha. Ohmigod! My parents do the exact same thing of writing anything and everything on the mail!

    your mum is soo hilarious. she's just like my mum, exact personality.
  • Tea
    you are correct. it's just simplified. It says "The 5th chapter (or installment)"


    i'm impressed that your mom can spell phoenix correctly!
  • chanman
    ahh, like script?
    never had good enough (Chinese) handwriting to write like that...
    It's weird how different values are even put into Chinese and English handwriting - English is more "soft" and "flowing", while Chinese is supposed to be "hard" with defined lines.
  • Tea
    yes i meant script, not simplified as in simplified chinese (there is no simplified version of 第).

    i've always learned chinese writing as flowing, poetic characters much like the movement of water and wind. If you learn calligraphy you would understand. Each character is a singular word representing balance and harmony, never hard or stiff. If you pay attention, even the most "hard" and defined lines are never completely straight, there are curves with each stroke.
  • chanman
    Well yeah, but where one ends and another begins is supposed to be defined, and i've never been that good at Chinese writing (I know the characters, my handwriting just sucks). There's just something different about it from Latin character handwriting.
  • chanman
    I can't read that first Chinese word... I would think it is dì, 第, but it doesn't look like it...
  • That was my guess too. But my Chinese reading/writing abilities suck, so who really knows. :)
