the greatest thing in inglourious basterds = this guy. i love people that have a working knowledge of three+ languages. and no, not the kind of "working knowledge" fibs you put on resumes.

At Cannes, Tarantino said that had he not discovered Waltz, the film might have been scrapped entirely. "I knew whatever actor I cast to play this has to be as much of a linguistic genius as Landa is or he would never come off the page," Tarantino said. Landa seduces his prey with his words and speaks fluent German, English, French and Italian. Other actors "could do the poetry in this language, but they couldn't do the poetry in that language. And they had to be able to say the poetry in every language," Tarantino said.

Waltz wasn't faking — he really can speak all those languages. But he is characteristically modest about his abilities, unlike his evil alter-ego, who presents them with flourish.

But he does boast: "My oldest daughter speaks seven! I come from a small country, and we sometimes need to employ another language to get things. So it's not that big of a deal to speak various languages."

um...i come from a small country too. where did we go wrong?

melankolee time #1 the drink of our childhood

errry korean child of the 80s must have some memory of coming home to a nondescript black plastic bag hanging on the doorknob. we got yakult delivered daily for as long as i can remember, along with denmark milk (more on this later.) the 'yakult ajumma' is your personal yakult deliverywoman, usually in her mid 30s-early 50s and covering a specific route.

they wear uniforms:
and cart around the yakults on something like this:
if you moved to a new hood and wanted to start delivery, or wanted to change your delivery number, you would have to track her down and ask in person. because the yakult ajumma had her own schedule and was quite the elusive character, it was a big old hassle. the ajumma also did not like it if we made too many changes.

typically we got two yakults delivered a day, sometimes three. in the summer you put the yakult in the freezer and ate them as popsicles. you'd have to peel the top part of the plastic off because a teaspoon would not fit all the way. we pretty much raised that to an art form.

ACE yakult came out while i was in middle school. we switched to this one because it claimed to have more bifidus cultures. it is preferred partly because you can fit the spoon all the way down to the bottom without peeling the top off. sadly i haven't been able to find it anywhere in new york. i have to say that dairy options are generally inferior here, even though yakult is more like cultured sugar water than anything in the dairy category. i would sign up for delivery in a second.
