picture in my mind

The best put-down of Satan I've heard: "Don't listen to Syaitan... He's just full of himself." (from Refinement of the Heart) I think that would anger him more than anything else, haha. Because Satan's biggest problem is arrogance, right.

And I am reminded of this cute cartoon from stickgirl:

nooo! I don't want to be evil! heheheh.

Also, been listening to Arashi's Subarashiki Sekai (i.e. Wonderful World). And I think all the existing English translations are deficient in some way -- because the song sounds amazing and poetic and heart-tugging, but putting it in English seems to make it lame, and results in a deflated feeling. This is why I feel like learning every language possible in the world (because like Allan Massie said, "the limits of your language are the limits of your world", and to truly understand a world, you must embrace the language). Okaylah, no, not every language. :P But Japanese at least. Arabic first, and then Japanese.

I'll board the last train and rush past the station of despair
Just a little bit further to your town
We cry and we laugh, but still we end up dreaming of tomorrow
Thank you, wonderful world.

Arigatou, subarashiki sekai!
