AudioPostOrange

I’m basically using this month to figure out what my favorite song IS. I don’t really know. I have favorite songs on albums, or faves by an artist, but it’s hard to choose one song and say THIS IS NUMERO

Mass Greeting Tweets
Twitter Wha...?

So I have this friend on Twitter…But he does something I’ve never seen, a new behavior that I don’t really understand. And I don’t wanna ask about it for fear of him thinking I’m a big giant jerk

GodTube, eh?

At first I was a little scientologist-creeped-out by these videos, but the longer it went on the funnier it got. What’s scary, I guess, is that people get sucked in by this stuff. Oh yeah, and dang, dude, you live in AMERICA…why couldn’t you have found out about Jesus yrself, eh? Guilt-marketing works so well in America

Eventful Trains

Got my CDs today, four Stanley Huang CDs and a Wang Lee Hom CD. Yay new music!!! I’m hard-pressed to go to class tonight what with all I want to do with these CDs. It seems the trains are set to be an interesting experience for me. I guess God thought in my lovely car I was lonely, so going

Illegal Spanking

Check out this article on Time’s website. Read at the very last line. Now. I am not even going to get into my opinions on what the article is about. Ridiculous Californians, legislating something as obviously unenforceable as this. And I believe in spanking to a point. But I have seen spanking that wasn’t spanking, and there’s a fine line.

Snarky girl

I always feel like a dip when I say “Oh, yea, and I speak Chinese” which seems just so self-absorbed. My Chinese isn’t stellar anyway, so making that claim isn’t the most

Ice Day

I’ve been sucked in to My Space, kicking and screaming. But now that I’m here, it’s not so bad. I actually kind of like it. We’ll see what happens. Found a new Chinese singer to idolize, Stanley Huang. Some of his videos I found on You Tube: Another day of ice, and as I was leaving for work this morning,

Usability information

Of course. If you know anything about Chinese society, this is obvious. Always good to have the obvious backed up by empirical data, though… Chinese Users are more Private online, finds Research

RANT: Language Poseurs

I need to get something off my chest, and it got on my chest because of a page I saw while previewing another Japanese language learning book: Language Poseurs It just pisses me off. Many Americans who learn Japanese are learning it in the hopes of reading manga, or meeting chicks, or watching anime. The anime and manga don’t bother
