I Really Need to Pay More Attention When I Order Things Online

I'm trying to learn Japanese. I've always found the language fascinating, even though I can't understand a bloody word of it.

So, I ordered one of those Learn Japanese While You're totally Shit-faced computer programs.

Well, it arrived in the mail today and I put it in.

Unfortunately, the entire thing has two very troublesome problems for me:

1. All the instructions are in Kanji. I don't understand spoken Japanese, how in the seven hells am I going to be able to understand written Japanese?

2. As it turns out, it doesn't really matter, since it is meant to teach you Japanese, but only if your primary language is bloody German.

I'm Back, and I'm On A Mission!

I've been gone for a while. The Prime Material Universe kept me pretty busy for a few weeks, which kept me from being on air or updating this blog. That is no longer the case.

At least to an extent.

Tomorrow night, I will be returning to the air waves to host The Dark Side. I've been itching to do it. I'm happy I'll be back.

Sadly, due to various external forces, it will, quite possibly, be my last broadcast for 2007. I tend to have many house guests this time of year, and it's difficult to broadcast a radio show when Aunt Alicia, who is half-deaf, is trying to watch The Ghost Whisperer in the room that doubles as my broadcast studio.

This does not mean, however, that I am going to be disappearing again. On the contrary, I will be making my presence known quite vehemently here, on The Drudge Retort, and with the odd opinion piece submitted to Op Ed News. Trust me, you'll still be hearing a lot from the old Reverend, just not necessarily in the literal "hearing" sense.

As for tomorrow night:

Well, the title of this post does say I'm on a mission. That mission becomes public tomorrow night at 7:00 PM Central. Be warned, o' lovely listeners: I may well run long tomorrow, so you may need to catch part (or maybe even half) the show via the archive.

Talk to you then.
