Have you had a moment in your life where every single time you think back to it, you just can't help but bust out laughing? Here's one of mine:
Instead of explaining what's going on here, I thought I'd open up the comments for possible captions. Keep it clean, please! (I didn't have to mention that, did I?)
With a few kiddie patients under my belt, it's fun to reward them with stickers. Walmart has a pretty good selection - they've got your regular stickers, then stickers on clear backing, fuzzy stickers, and even 3D stickers. I try to stay away from the super heroes since that implies some violence, and pick stuff like cars, kittens, and Baby Pooh. Not sure if Toy Story stickers imply violence at all. Oh well. The shiny foilness was too cool to resist.
Please take a look and sign if you can. The petition's intro is quite thorough and describes how I feel pretty accurately:
In recent decades, China's effort in trying to make Chinese easier for both her youth and foreigners resulted in this push of Simplified Chinese.
Simplified Chinese, although convenient, fails to incorporate meaning into its characters. Many words of same phonetic sounds are replaced by a single character that possesses the same sound but lacks in meaning.
UN's action to "unify" the Chinese characters and recognize ONLY Simplified Chinese will have devastating impact upon the Chinese language, culture, history.
The world is already getting stupider and stupider. Can we try to slow things down a little bit here?
Stalking my brother is fun. My dad and I were looking for streaming Chinese newscasts tonight and suddenly it struck us: "Hey, can we see Howard's work online?" Lo and behold ...
For video: Hurry and click here for a sample of his broadcast. He's a weekend sports anchor, and they've got his Sunday segment up at the moment. If you miss it, catch it next weekend, probably Sunday and Monday.
Just audio: And then, go here and scroll down until you find a podcast with Howard's name by it. His most recent thingy was on 6/06/07. Usually, he just does a 10-minute thingy on fantasy sports, but he actually filled in for one of the guys on the radio show for this episode.
And yes, "thingy" is my technical term for it! :)
Yeah, this is way more Howard than anyone should be subjected to, so apologies from the proud sister in advance. :)
Carrie's back, and so I went over to say hey. Hugh ended up cooking *me* dinner ... not sure how THAT works, but hey, *I* ain't complainin'!
Chef Hugh's AWESOMELY refreshing veggie pasta, including veggies from my parents' garden, tofu, and fresh parsley and black pepper ...
