Of Interest: Russian Resources!
Dobre Utra. Доброе утро. Good morning~

Pronunciation is easy for me (I'm good at picking up accents).
Learning to read is a bit difficult, though. The Russian alphabet has something like 33 letters, special rules for spelling, and is a form of Cyrillic script.

Stuff I like: Marry Me @ Keenspot.com
Calimera (Καλημέρα), readers!
Average guy gets married to a rockstar after holding a "MARRY ME" sign at one of her concerts. Serious quantities of awk ensue. This is [ http://marryme.keenspot.com/ ], a well-written, well-illustrated graphic novel that is available online for your perusal.
It doesn't appear to be finished yet, but the artwork is visually appealing and I like the story.
Still getting back into the swing of publishing things more often.

Self-improvement September.
I've taken it upon myself to self-improve during September.
I'm teaching myself the basics of Russian and Greek (two completely foreign languages), and hitting the gym on an almost-daily basis.
To that end, I'm interested in the Rosetta Stone programs for the two languages- I learned German through immersion in the country, but I don't have that opportunity for Russian or Greek.
Unfortunately, Rosetta Stone is almost prohibitively expensive without a discount of some kind, so that's not even an option.
I'm doing these things to level up IRL. What will you do?

Finally back stateside!
So I'm finally back stateside.
Posts will resume at a slightly slower pace, but will begin to pick up speed over the next few weeks.
While you're waiting, have you seen Sara Bareilles' Uncharted?
Also of interest is [ http://turntable.fm ]. More on that later.
