Some advice needed.

Can anyone here recommend a good site to get Russian dvds and cds from in the US. Actually, my main concerns are not getting ripped off and that they ship to places in the US.

Name transcription

When I go to Russia, I'll need to write my name for official reasons. I've been writing my name in direct, letter-by-letter transliteration for my classes... but the problem is that my name isn't pronounced like the English letters anyway, and so when it goes to Cyrillic it gets even worse. Rather: should I work it a bit in Cyrillic to make it sound closer to how it's pronounced (or at least how I pronounce it??? I'm actually thinking that ь might be appropriate because a consonant is quite soft anyway... does this occur in Russian surnames???

Also: Moscow has the 6th most-beautiful women in the world ;)

К сожалению, каникулы кончились, пора приниматься за учёбу.

Hello, I'm Nicole, I've been keeping up with this community since I started learning Russian in the fall of 2003, but I have fallen away from my studies during the last six months. I'm posting this small text in an attempt to dive back in. Thanks in advance for the corrections. I think I may start blogging regularly in Russian in my journal, so feel free to check in with me in the future.

Two quick vocabulary questions

[hunc-tu-caveto.livejournal.com]

How would I say "Master of Puppets"?

and

How would I say "As you can see" as in "As you can see I speak a little bit of russian"? Would "a little bit" be nemnogo or malo?

Thanks in advance!

Translate please.

How do you translate "video game(s)" into russian? Also, what verb goes along with it?

Thankyou?

This is sad... I know... but could anyone tell me what Спасибо means? I'm guessing thankyou, maybe? I'm a beginner (just learned the alphabet) haha. Thanks!
