Why not?
For those of you listen to internet radio (and like trance), go to DI.fm. That station rocks. From there, of course, try out the 'trance' station. Ambient is good too, but trance puts you more in the state of mind (picks you up) to do homework ( Read more... ) -

Are we coming around finally?
...yeah...one can only hope. But this issue does pose a good question: what harm is it doing to our already messed up society? As if it has high values and class. Yeah, sure. Open your eyes and lick the ground you walk on to taste it for yourself.

Stupid exam
I just seriously took the easiest exam made possible to man. It was this idiot psychology class (I say idiot because it's an introductory 111 class). I think the prof totally made it out to be harder than it really was. It wasn't even the fact that I studied for it, but it was just stupidly easily.

This was, of course, a child and his cat in near New Orleans, LA. At least the kid had the good sense to grab the cat. I heard a story yesterday on NPR about a man who left his three cats at home ( Read more... ) -
The origination of dialects
Decent article on the questioning of dialects. Although common knowledge to many linguists, it's still nice to have different perspectives on this issue of "where" dialects originate. I think it's more of an interest to ask this same question in Eastern Europe, primarily in Romania (my current proposal is for a project to attempt to discover some ( Read more... )
