Tell me, oh Muse...

Everybody does it, but I got it from rhitroadkill

Your muse is Thalia, the Flourishing. She is the
muse of comedy, and her symbol is the comic
mask. You love comedy, whether it be Monty
Python, Mel Brooks, Terry Pratchett, or Jim
Carey. I have no doubt I'll see you on Comedy
Central sometime soon...


Which of the Nine Muses is your muse?

Aaargh--Brain might be short-circuiting soon

What is it with foreign languages? Why is the brain--well, my brain at least--incapable of handling more than one or two of them efficiently?
Long gone are the days when my Spanish was fluent. But recently I've started studying it again, together with Klaus. My French is nowhere near as rusty as my Spanish, but I don't use it too often. Now, however, I have to write a French letter every now and then. From time to time I read an Italian book. And I constantly read and write English. Only my brain doesn't like that at all. It throws words at me, completely at random, and seems to get a sinsiter pleasure out of providing me with the Italian translation when I'm searching for the French one. And vice versa.
Waaaah! I wish there was a method of brain-training to avoid these terribly annoying malfunctions.
Advice, anybody? Are there techniques that might help?
