misremembered

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 07:58:28 GMT

so* i was trying to remember the name of a band from norway that i found yesterday. i couldnt for the life of me think of the name, or think of what i was listening to that made me find it. all i could come up with was "anykropp," which wasnt it. so finally, i remembered that i had read the wikipedia article about it, and that it had said that they were a duo. so i tried "norwegian electronic duo" and the first search result was "Röyksopp." so, i had 5 letters out of eight, not in the right order. not bad!

*this was not posted because i think anyone would find it interesting. move along. nothing to see here.

komerco kaj esperanto

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 06:52:55 GMT

ĉu iuj konas artikolon pri komerco kaj esperanto? mi preferas ke oni skribis ĝin angle, ĉar mia anglo-parolanta amiko estas tre scivola pri la uzo de esperanto en la komerco, aŭ la okazeblaj uzoj, kiujn artikolo priparolus. se ĉi tiu artikolo estas en esperanto, ĉi tiel ĝi ankaŭ sufiĉas, ĉar mi povas traduki.

malantaŭ-skripto: kiel oni diras ulo kiu parolas iun lingvon? mi penis "anglo-parolanta" (aŭ -anto) ĉar mi scias ke kunigitaj vortoj plej ofte uzas la noman specon de vortoj, sed ĝi ŝajnas al mi ke ne ĝustas.

if you dont know about esperanto, read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto

on barack obama's website, he is having people vote on which ideas in each category that they would like him to discuss and look through. i'm not sure who or how, but it doesnt matter. only the top three are going to be actively considered. esperanto is #2 in education now, but please vote if you think the idea of an international auxiliary language as a means of learning other languages is a good idea.

several tests have shown that if you learn esperanto for a year, and then learn french for a year, your french will be better than someone who learned french for two years. this is because esperanto's grammar is super easy, and you spend your time learning how to communicate and say what you mean, rather than learning verb conjugations, how to spell, and how to pronounce it. then, when you go onto french (or any other language), you already have the skillsets needed to learn a language.

and if you dont agree, please vote on another idea:

linguistic question

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:28:22 GMT

i apologize in ahead of time to anyone who does not appreciate the words in this post. i know, i know, it may not seem this way, but i assure you it is merely a linguistic consideration, and i petition that you treat it from an academic standpoint, snickering perhaps appropriately to the side.

i dont know what made think of it, but consider the following verbal phrase: "jerk off." now, imagine for a moment, how to add a direct object. we all know how to add a subject, "he," and even an indirect object, "to jessica alba," but the question is what exactly is the action being performed on?

well, the obvious answer would be a penis, of course, preferably his own. so, therefore, where does the word "penis" fit into the sentence?

and i am not just asking hypothetically, i am asking in actuality--please tell me what you think, even if you believe it can never take a direct object. resolution to this linguistic quandary is of utmost importance.

so, let's consider the options, opening our mind to possibly making the word "penis" the object of a prepositional phrase, as well. so would it be:

1. "jerks off his penis"
2. "jerks his penis off"
3. "jerks off with his penis"
4. "jerks with his penis off"
or consider the wonderful constructivity of #5: penis-jerks off (leaving one to wonder what the other possible sorts of jerks one can perform would be).

please respond with whatever you may think is the most linguistically likely of the verb were to take a direct opbject. feel free to contribute your own ideas.

a good perspective to have with the state of the economy

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:10:37 GMT

as these hard economic times hit the country and probably the world, i've been a bit disturbed by how much we are all paying attention to it. things dont happen in this country by paying them heed, but by doing another deed. a less important, distracting deed (perhaps some american idol?) so let's please listen to our dear old friend dr. seuss, and get ourselves some ostrich hats:

this isnt some meme. it's an actual personality test, i believe the numbers are even saved and put in towards a study. i am taking it as an assignment for personality psych.

Check out my
personality profile!

i think it's fairly accurate. i took this for my personality psych test.

i am just saving this for later so i can do my assignment. i hate the meyers briggs test. please dont think this next one has any validity:

hanging a baby in the air

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 20:22:19 GMT

i am watching some irish tv, a show from the 60's called siar. (i think it's pronounced sheer). they were having some sort of festival, and someone hung their baby out of a window. it seems to be the thing to do! michael jackson wishes he were cool, he's just a poser.

it was exciting

last night, i picked up a tune i hadnt heard before at a session. i also lost my niu hat. come back to me, hat!

in retrospect, i would rather have kept the hat and not learned the tune, :p.

strangest glitch ever

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 05:58:15 GMT

i turned my volume down for no reason--i like to play with the nob. i heard chinese. i turned it up to get a better listen, but there was no chinese. i turned it down, and i heard more chinese again. up--no chinese. so when my volume was off, there was audio of chinese, when it was on, there was no chinese. there are no programs open that have any chinese--itunes is closed, there are no chinese websites up, and i know oprah doesnt speak chinese. my house has strange electric wiring--if you flick a switch downstairs, my speakers crackle.

initially i was thinking that my computer was picking up chinese radio waves through the power (which could happen... maybe), but that seems crazy. there could have been a weird glitsh, or i could have filled in the gaps of a buzzing to hear words (which could happen).

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird.
