fatuous: inanely foolish; stupid; also, illusory.

They need to get the dang site up and running, it's been weeks & I ain't using twitter until I can change my settings @ twittinesis. The twitter site says they're working on it, but nothin'. Gah!

hello!

recently made a twitter after lurking and wanting to for a while. it's a bit empty, which is saddening.


i am a 19 year old female; pretty random and will just post random thoughts or events from the day that i deem worthy sharing. kind of artsy, into music, psychology, art, video games, nature, animals, spirituality, etc.

add me? thanks! :)

Circus clown Kuklachev filed lawsuits against 10 political bloggers who accused Kuklachev of torturing cats

One of Kuklachev's victims is Michael Verbitsky (“Misha”, http://verbit.ru ). Misha is a mild-mannered Russian mathematician, a Harvard graduate, a civil liberties activist and a father of four children. Just a few days ago, Misha was giving lectures in a university in Brazil, when he found that back in his Russian homeland he became a target of a lawsuit filed … by a circus clown Yuri Kuklachev ( http://kuklachev.ru ).

Apparently Misha, who is also one of the most famous political bloggers in the Russian "blogosphere", discussed in his blog a series of bizarre incidents when Kuklachev threatened with lawsuits several social networking and literature websites. Kuklachev went berserk when the visitors to those websites dared to hold the discussions about the rumors that Kuklachev uses electric shock to train his cats to perform unnatural tricks like walking on two front legs. Such discussions were not groundless – for example a mainstream Ukrainian newspaper Bulvar Gordona already published an article mentioning that Kuklachev “trains” his cats by inserting hard objects into their anal orifices (http://www.bulvar.com.ua/arch/2007/43/471e32765f278/ ).

Why did Kuklachev decided to sue bloggers rather than the newspaper? Some commentators raised the possibility that Kuklachev was used by pro-Putin “political technologists” who wants to weed out the political dissidents (including Misha Verbitsky) from the Russian Internet. They probably perceived Misha as an ideal victim for such a plan – Misha is well-known, but cannot afford the costs of litigation. In addition to it, Kuklachev has a lot of friends in Moscow government and the courts in Russia are not exactly independent.

Right now Misha's blog http://lj.rossia.org/users/tiphareth is not working because it became the target of a massive DDoS-attack technically similar to attacks on Estonian websites back in 2007 ( http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/03/pro-kremlin-gro/ ).

( How can you help Misha and other Russian political bloggers? )

So, I have two books for learning Japanese and want to sell them as I don't need them anymore.
Both are in mint condition.

( An Introduction to Modern Japanese )

( Wörterbuch der deutschen und japanischen Sprache )


So, if you're interested in one of these books, check the details.

( Price, Shipping, Payment )


That's it.
Have a nice day, everyone!

Why do they subtitle Japanese television shows in Japanese? i've noticed this on clips from other Asian countries as well. . . Thanks, guys!

はじめまして。愛子と申します。もちろんペンネームですが、本名は日本語で書きづらいから愛子と呼んでくださいｗ
１９９１年４月生まれの１８歳。イギリス出身。A型。よろしくお願いします。

初めてなのに質問は２つもあってなんか申し訳ないが、聞かせてくださいｗ

１．お笑い芸人
あたしは日本のお笑い芸人特に好きです。ただ日本行ったことないため誰が今はやってるのかは知りません。
「はんにゃ」は知ってますけどきっとほかにもあるからぜひ最近自分の好きなお笑い芸人を教えてください。

２．自修と授業の違い
あたしは日本語を勉強するための授業に入ったことはありません。
友達のリナちゃんはあたしと同じく約６年間も勉強してきましたが、現在授業受けてます。
あたしの特技はスラングとカジュアルスピーチと若者言葉。リナちゃんの特技は敬語と漢字。あたしは漢字何百も読めますが練習してもあんまり書けません。皆さんもこんな違いに気づいたことありますか？どうやって直せますか？

あと、ミスあったらぜひ教えてください。

I don't know why I am having trouble figuring this out, but for some reason, it all seems a little confusing....

For a friend's time lapse project we want to set my Canon Rebel XT up so that it will automatically take photos at a certain interval for a certain length of time. The camera will be connected to a computer via USB and controlled with the EOS Utility. I know that we need to power the camera with an outlet rather than the batteries, so we need to get an AC adapter.

I'm trying to research what adapter I need online. My friend is willing to foot the bill for it, so I gotta get him the right link. I can't seem to figure out which adapter I need because I can't envision exactly how it is all connected and everything seems a little vague.

Is this what I need? How does the set up work? Is there a (Cheaper) off brand version?

Sorry, I know this is a stupid question, and I feel pretty stupid for not being able to get it.

Thanks for your help.

gallimaufry: a hodgepodge; jumble; confused medley.

Hello all!

I've got some auctions up on eBay for nine DS games and a couple pieces of video game merchandise. ( Click for Mario, Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright, and more! )

今日はドイツのクリスマスについて書きたいと思います。
この前、クリスマスの習慣の起源を調べていました。結果を読んですごくビックリしました！どうやら、クリスマスの習慣の起源は大半がドイツ語圏(オーストリアとドイツ)です。Ｔａｎｎｅｎｂａｕｍ(クリスマスツリー)やカロル(Ｓｔｉｌｌｅ　Ｎａｃｈｔとか)は全部ドイツ語圏からなんです。私もぜんぜん知りませんでした！(⌒▽⌒;)

ドイツのクリスマスはアメリカのと違います。クリスマスは１２月２４日です。クリスマスイブはプレゼントをもらえます。２４日にプレゼントを持ってくるのはサンタさんではありません！「Ｃｈｒｉｓｔｋｉｎｄ」という空想の人物がプレゼントを持って来ます。天使みたいな人物なんです。
普通、クリスマスは家族と一緒に過ごします。教会にも行って、特別な美味しい晩ご飯を食べます。晩ご飯の後でベルの音が聞こえるとやっとリビングに入れます！そこにはクリスマスツリーやプレゼントがあります。
Ｃｈｒｉｓｔｋｉｎｄを追い出さないように、リビングは晩ご飯の後まで鍵がかけてあります。それで、静かにプレゼントを持って来られるのです。
プレゼントを開ける前に、家族の全員はカロルを歌います。
Ｃｈｒｉｓｔｋｉｎｄはサンタさんよりかわいいでしょうか。
それに、２４日の晩にプレゼントをもらえるほうが楽だと思います。
２５日の朝まで待たなければならない人々はきっとぜんぜん眠れないでしょうね。（；^ω^）

もちろん、ドイツでもサンタさんが来ますよ！ただ、それは２５日ではなく、１２月６日なんです。その日、サンタさんは若い子供たちを叱ります。ちょっとだけ怖いのです。（；^ω^）　
「今年いい子にしていましたか。」や「お母さんをよく手伝ってあげましたか。」と厳しく聞きます。「はぁ・・(≧∇≦)ノ ハーイ♪」と答えて、サンタさんは大きい袋からプレゼントバッグを出します。そのバッグの中はナッツ、みかんや小さいプレゼント(冬物の靴下とか)です。
普通、サンタさんだけが来ます。でも悪いサンタさんもいます。名は「Ｋｎｅｃｈｔ　Ｒｕｐｒｅｃｈｔ」で、英語で「Ｂｌａｃｋ　Ｓａｎｔａ」なんです。あいつは本当にいやな奴です！悪い子をつかまえて、枝みたいな物で殴ります。
怖い話だけれども、今時Ｋｎｅｃｈｔ　Ｒｕｐｒｅｃｈｔはあまり何もしません。
子供の頃もただ遠くから見ていました。でも、母は子供のときに、一度捕まりました。本当に怖かったでしょうね。（；^ω^）
親にとってはいい躾の方法なんですが！
「ちゃんと宿題をしないのなら、今年、サンタさんの代わりにブラックサンタが来るでしょう。」と子供たちに言います。ｗｗｗ　（；^ω^）

１２月１日からクリスマスまでの間は「Ａｄｖｅｎｔ」と言います。
ドイツでもいくつかのほかの国でも「Ａｄｖｅｎｔｓｋａｌｅｎｄｅｒ」と「Ａｄｖｅｎｔｓｋｒａｎｚ」があります。



「Ａｄｖｅｎｔｓｋａｌｅｎｄａｒ」は１２月１日から２４日までのカレンダーなんです。
特別なカレンダーです。２４個の窓があります。毎日、該当する窓を開けます。Ａｄｖｅｎｔｓｋａｌｅｎｄａｒにはいくつか種類があります。窓の中には何が隠れているでしょうか。絵タイプ、 チョコレートタイプや小さいプレゼントタイプもありますよ！子供たちの待ち時間を緩和します。



大人にはＡｄｖｅｎｔｓｋｒａｎｚがあります。モミから手作りの物です。クリスマスツリーみたいに飾ることができます。ろうそくを四つ立てます。
１２月、日曜日ごとにろうそくを一つ点けます！♪

「Advent, Advent, ein Lichtlein brennt.
Erst eins, dann zwei, dann drei, dann vier -
dann steht das Christkind vor der Tür.」

←これは有名な歌なんです。縮めて言えば、一つ、二つ、三つ、四つのろうそくが点くと、Ｃｈｒｉｓｔｋｉｎｄがやっと来ます。クリスマスが来ました！

手作りのクリスマスクッキーが懐かしいです！食べたいです！(｀・ω・´)

皆さんの国のクリスマスはどうでしょうか。教えてくれませんか。

hello! i've been wanting a Wii for a while, but i'm kinda cheap. So I've been noticing some of the bundles that various retailers are doing and think this is the time to buy. The latest one is Walmart - you get a $50 gift card when you by a Wii. So, do you think this is the best deal? Or are there bundles out there that cost more, but you get more accessories/games?

There aren't that many games I want (Wii play, resort sports, mario kart, rock band/guitar hero, and the new super mario bros.) and I haven't found any bundles with these games. Are these games easy to find on sale or lightly used at a good price?

Anyone have any insider info on the retail industry and think that after Christmas i might find an even better deal??

Thanks for your help/opinions!

And if this isn't ok for the community, please delete and accept my apologies!
