One of the nice things about being 6 hours ahead of the East Coast (I'm in Berlin doing location scouting for the Time Log Web Comic) is that my "oh shit it's Friday and I forgot to write a culturology report!" moment, even as it happened at 6pm, really only happened at noon, and now I've still got a few hours to sneak in a post within some fine modicum of ontimeliness. So how about that. Now, of course, the problem is that, as per usual, I don't have all that much to write about, it still being 2010, one of the worst years for movies ever.
But I do want to mention, I suppose to Nick & Neal, that I can take a hint, guys. How, now on the side bar, under "Current Features" I'm no longer listed on my own, but instead lumped in with "and books." Now, certainly, most of the (non-comic) book-related material on the blog comes from Culturology. But not all of it. But is there really enough stuff about books on Audioshocker that it deserves to have it's on little link there like an annoying shadow cast by the awesome obelisk of Culturology?
And well, I guess I'm not really gonna add any content other than that little snippet of griping, 'cause I don't have a whole lot else to say for myself, except that Hesse's Siddhartha, in the original German, is great reading. And South Park, dubbed into German, is a fun way to bone up on one's language skills.
pete, *cartman voice* im gonna kick you in the nuts */cartman voice*
okay i added that books link there because of your bookclubs!!! geeez. thought you'd like it...
i'm with you nick, it made perfect sense to me.
AudioShocker Shoutouts!
I guess it just felt redundant to me. Oh well, what really matters is that I got a post out of it! And I'm really hoping to make to 100 before finally completely quitting (since then I'll be eligible for syndication!)...
personally, i like the fact that you think everything you write now is pretty much half-assed, even though i consider them normal, full blog posts, even if they're just a few paragraphs. sorta like the way i refuse to say "seg-way"...
so basically i'm saying you could probably make it to #100 by just writing posts about how bad you wanna quit writing the column, and i'd still enjoy it.
