How Not to Teach a Language

Aug 27, 2010 online humor

This has got to be one of the most bizarre videos I’ve ever seen. It’s an instructional video teaching Japanese people how to speak English. But it’s done like an exercise video. I don’t know…it’d be easier for you to watch it, then for me to describe it.

And what is that guy in the blue shirt wearing on his head??

My Articles/Posts for July 2010

Aug 1, 2010 work, writing

I don’t just write here. I also contribute articles and posts elsewhere on the web. So in case you’ve missed any of them, I compile a monthly listing of all of the links.

Here are my July 2010 contributions to the web universe:

Uptake.com:

Suite101.com:

I’ve started doing some posts for the Nightlife blog at Uptake, which is fun. Now when I check out a bar or club on my travels, I can say it’s work. LOL

In between writing, I’ve been working on setting up a couple of blogs and I’ll post those links soon.

Thanks to everyone who continues to read my writings around the web! Thanks also to everyone who passes on or Tweets the story links, stumbles one of my articles or clicks the Facebook “like” buttons on my articles. I really appreciate y’all supporting me and my writing!!

I was twice named one of the "Top 50 Travel Writers on Twitter" - which I think is basically a nice way of saying I may talk too much but I do occasionally have something relevant to say. Thanks y'all! I will happily accept the kudos.

Truly believes age ain't nuthin' but a number; loves 70's disco & funk, 80's hard rock & new wave, 90's alt-rock & pop, LOTR, Star Wars, RHPS, Joss Whedon, Laurell K. Hamilton; deeply passionate; loves animals - hates insects; gourmet chef's worst nightmare; gets easily annoyed by fat prejudice and sexist men; never gives third chances; refuses to live in the past.

I'm on a first name basis with my inner child, and I believe we were put on this earth as unique individuals for a reason but that reason isn't to bomb the hell out of each other...though I will concede there are some people out there who deserve a really good spanking.
