We got the flow it's break your naughty

dreamer_easyTime to get cracking on the Talons essay rewrites. Luckily my energy levels are much improved by the combination of clear skies and clean CPAP equipment. The main job is to cut about 1200 words, which I suspect is going to be easier than I think. Just lopped out a 200-word para (and six footnotes :).
In other news, I sing of arms and people who can do wordplay in a second language, specifically, the English bits in Korean pop songs. Though there is much amusing Engrish about (had I penned the immortal line "We got the flow it's break your naughty" I would not care to see it in letters two stories high) there are also little gems like "I'm that cool cat (Meow!) / Check me out."* (One of the joys of listening to pop in a forrin tongue is that you're not distracted by idiotic lyrics, but certain songs have some clever rhyme and repetition going on that even a 외국인 can pick out.)
ETA: Lopped out about 700 words with next to no effort. It's the other 500 that's going to be the real work! But lo, the flu jab I had today is making me woozy and weird, so I'm off to bed.
* Although, admittedly, about fifty people wrote this song - SHINee's "Get Down" - not all of 'em Korean.
