    You wanna know what my big beef is with Dora the Explorer? Okay, it's supposed to be this show for kids that teaches them spanish, BUT NOBODY ON THE SHOW EVER FUCKING SPEAKS SPANISH, EXCEPT FOR A FEW OCCASIONAL BIT CHARACTERS, LIKE TICO THE SQUIRREL. Tico shows up about every 10th episode.
    If they really wanted to teach the kids spanish, then that faggy monkey Boots (you cannot tell me that little piece of shit doesn't suck monkey cock when he's prancing around in boots like that) would only speak simple spanish, that way the kids would have more exposure to it. Actually, just make the show where everyone speaks spanish except Dora, and she always explains what the people/animals just said.
    I remember back when my son was younger (2-5 years old) and I was trying to teach him spanish. I was the ONLY ONE trying to teach him spanish, and I got absolutely zero support from the rest of his relatives. My ex-wife didn't want him learning spanish because she "didn't want him growing up with an accent." All three of his grandparent speak spanish fluently (my ex-wife's parents are from Mexico for crissake), but none of them would ever speak it to him, even though I asked them to all the time.
    What's really ironic is that my own dad (who speaks spanish) tried the same thing with me for a short time when I was about the same age, with dismal results because no one else was backing it up.
    History repeats itself. Sigh.

    My daughter knows quite a few words in Spanish because of that show, and can count to ten in Spanish even though she's two. We live in Ontario. We have no need for Spanish up here because we actually mow our own lawns.

    Yeah, you learn some basic vocabulary, but when it comes to actually USING those words you just learned, it leaves you hanging.
    Also, the show has a grindingly slow pace, even for a show intended for pre-schoolers. Even my son complained about it back then.

    Woah woah woah woah woah. Are you saying that if you want your kids to learn something, television may not be the best teacher?

    Man, there go my life plans.

    If you quit at 1:00, you missed at least 80% of the funny.

    Grilling veggies. Zucchini, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, and a ton of sweet onion.

    Marinating them in a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, basil, chili powder, cayenne, ground pepper and sea salt.

    I'm hoping this turns out alright. But if it doesn't, I'll be drunk enough to where it doesn't really matter anyway.

    Man, what a shitty day. Ran all over creation between our three offices, did something stupid that made me look like an idiot because I was running and not thinking. I hate that moment when you realize that you just did or said something incredibly stupid and wondering how to handle it.

    Finally buckled down and bought The 48 Laws of Power, Happy Hour Is for Amateurs and Crazy: Notes On and Off the Couch. Should be here right after my exam, it'll be good to sit down and read something other than math texts for the first time in a while. Dr. Rob, I swear to god if your book slows down my order I will drive down to NYC and kick you in the balls, I'm not that far.

    Suddenly I've found something that I can discuss in great detail and do multiple times per day. Sometimes as much as a hundred in an hour. Maybe we can start a thread about it. It'd be like the orgasm thread, but, like, its polar opposite in terms of how awesome it is.

    In related news, working in a jewish hospital means I am constantly on guard to not make an offhanded comment about being cheap/stingy. It is one I am sure to lose.

    Rob, I will probably buy it anyways....but I would be EXTRA likely to buy your book if it were available in ebook form. You ought to tell your publishers to get on that.

    Dinner tonight consisted of two warm hotdogs at a community softball game. I am less than pleased. I spend 8 whole hours pushing a mouse and shuffling papers, and this is what I get for dinner? Damn you, woman, flying a desk requires a man's meal!

    Hence the beer I'm currently drinking.
