I requested exam 2 in the teaching German course to start Friday, so I've been doing that for 2-3 hours every day since, about as much as I can manage before my brain leaks out my ears.
This time I'm asking a million questions about the test questions, because last time I did so poorly (barely passed), and I want to do better. You only get 3 exam retakes, see, and there are 8 modules.
I haven't written anything in about a week, but that's OK. After I've wrangled this shit in German, my brain is done.
I'm reading through this year's Hugo nominees so I can vote. I'm putting my opinions here. Right now I'm reading Throne of the Crescent Moon, and I have to say I'm not impressed. It's generic epic fantasy set in a pseudo-Muslim culture. I'm about halfway through, though I considered giving up around chapter 3, because I was just that bored. I decided to keep going so I could have a fully informed opinion. It's still not urging me to run out any buy the rest, I have to say.
Dude I know from COUP who worships Bill Gates thinks my criticisms of the XBox One are completely irrational and unfounded. Riiight. This is the guy who liked this fucking show so much that he bought a Midori hand puppet. So I'm going to go with "he's a fucking dumbshit who doesn't know what he's talking about" on this one. Also because every time I respond with actual evidence that MS is doing seriously shitty stuff, he stops responding.
