A Temporary Break from the Lineage Crap

Okay, let's all agree to take a temporary break before the next installment of my superhuman lineage. I've got to tell you, creating your own superhuman lineage is tiring. It's easy if they're all sharecroppers with mustaches, and maybe one has wooden teeth. But then it wouldn't be a superhuman lineage, would it? No, it'd be a lame, human lineage, and the next time I wanted to tell someone I'm descended from a coal-powered cyborg (or whatever the hell I was talking about), I wouldn't be able to cite any internet proof.

I am learning Mandarin. At the pace I'm going, I don't know if I could really consider it learning. I'm listening to Mandarin, retaining some knowledge, and then immediately forgetting it. If I just could talk to a Chinese person during one of my lessons, I think I'd impress some people. In case you're looking to do something similar, I'm using the podcasts through a site called chinesepod.com. It's cool, and I'm pretty sure their lessons have nothing at all to do with my overall suckiness.

I neglected to mention that a six word story of mine was immortalized by one Brendan Aloysius Adkins on Anacrusis. Does this make me anacrusized, or did I anacrustify Brendan? We'll let the Internet decide.

Finally, if you have a Wii, you need to get the browser. Once you have that, hit up http://www.teknision.com/wii/player.html. It's a Wii interface for finetune, which is one of those predictive music services. You can go to finetune and set up some playlists for your Wii, or you can just punch in the playlist belonging to codypo and kick out the jamz. I should also note that YouTube is great fun on a Wii.
