News: Full Mug of Mayonaise Day, not really embraced

Holidays.  I regret not having spent Full Mug of Mayonaise Day in a more meanful manner.

Languages.  My “Colloquial Mongolian” books arrived!  Study groups will now begin in seriousness.  I now manage 4 foreign language meetup groups– one is underactive (Norwegian) and two are doing just fine (Swedish and Icelandic).  The new challenge is figuring out how to do more social events and find enough days to give each group enough attention.  I’m thinking of permenatly moving the location of my events to places closer to where I live or work.

Media. I saw another three episodes of Dilbert, the cartoon.  The very end of the season the show got increasingly surreal, which was a good thing.  Too bad it was too late and the show was cancelled.

I saw Super Size me.  Looking at McDonalds or smelling it used to just make me nauseous.  Now it makes me nauseous and it makes my liver hurt.  It is food only a Republican could love.  I hope that the movie encourages increase sales of the crap to right winger their elimination from the gene pool in the long run would be a good thing.

Politics.  Speaking of politics, Virginia has banned smoking in restaurants.  When can I we start sending the cleaning bill for my cloths to smokers?  If anything is surprising, it is that the we haven’t cracked down harder on the tobacco culture. It’s another habit only a Repuglican could love.  I don’t mind Republicans smoking and dieing young, but I wish they’d commit suicide in a faster and cleaner fashion.

Tech.  I’m giving up on my T-Mobile SDA and getting a T-Mobile G1 (the Google Android phone).  More on that in a separate post.

Book Club.  The book club is becoming a problem child.  Normally I’d end the group and move on, but I want an excuse to keep reading Sci-Fi.  Maybe I’ll do a book crossing event and see if that attracts anyone.
