Well, let’s see if Our Vickyさん has recovered enough to post a few times today. As for me, it’s bedtime. I’ll have to listen in the morning.

BTW, I just posted my latest podcast episode:

Still looking forward to getting feedback from Peterちゃん、 Nathanさん、 and anyone else. (FYI, it’s a podcast for my students of English).

See you all on the other side!

Belton-san, Takase-san is like our kid sister. Although I’ve never had a kid sister, our relationship is like how I envision having one! :wink:

Beck-san, this weekend I’ll give you more feedback than you could have hoped for. :wink: Just kidding, but definately this weekend.

JockZon-san, 久々! Apologies for the long absence from the message board. Been really busy over here working on something big! Our soon-to-be-released big project will definately be worth it! Yoroshiku!

Did anyone pickup naruheso・なるへそ in the informal track??

Laura says:

Takaseさん, I understand about the heat. California has had a taste of Japanese summer this last week. There were two freakish weather patterns that made it the hottest in recorded history. In one city, the previous record was beaten by 10 degrees F. And it’s humid too.

We’re used to warm, dry weather, so most people have no air conditioning. Last Saturday I sat at my computer with ice packs down my dress, sweat dripping down my face all day, while my cats sprawled on the floor panting, and swore that when I visit Japan it will be in the spring.

Keith says:

I just listened to the informal track… I’m at work and I really struggled not to laugh out loud. HAHAHAHAHA… I recommend that everyone listen to it. I wonder if I could figure out a way to make that howling the ringer on my cellphone.

PS: Today is such a beautiful day is very hot and humid you guys should have a beach lesson of Japan beaches no?

Daniel Beck says:

Sindyさん、

Not that it matters, but I didn’t not post those comments you mention above. You should get your facts straight.

Plus, you should stop your barely veiled attacks on them and others (putting a smiley doesn’t hide it). If there are people you don’t like here, you should just ignore them. It’s not that hard to do. If there are other people here on the list who dislike others, we wouldn’t know, because they’ve been able to control themselves and keep the venom off list. Please do the same.

Daniel Beck says:

Nagasaki Connection rocks! :cool:

Takaseさん, that was too funny! :lol:

Lauraさん、

While you all in California are suffering worse than us, I wouldn’t compare it to Japan’s summer. I doubt you have the humidity. Though, we feel for all of you this year. Hang in there!

Daniel Beck says:

Jasonさん、

That was too funny! :lol:

Lizさん、

Funny. He’s spelling phonetically for a NYer, I’m sure. :lol:

Sindy says:

Daniel-sam those aren’t venom comments and yes I have my comments straight you say that in the 100 beginner lesson! I check where it says e-mail me follow-up comments to this post so I receive all message you guys type! :mrgreen:

I won’t do them again because now I know that you can’t handle them and get angry very quickly ok! PEACE AND LOVE EVERYONE! :cool:

Daniel Beck says:

Sindyさむ、

You’re 22 NYC. Whatever. :roll:

Oh, and since you forced my hand, here it is:
Michael D. Cassidy says:
July 26th, 2006 at 9:40 pm
Vicky is 16; Liz 13.
That should get a response out of them.

I copied and pasted that. Not only did you falsely attribute that to me, but you got Liz’s age wrong. Maybe you shoud apologize to her too. :roll: No, not maybe after your more recent comment.

(Apolgies to Michael)

And was it Mexican humor when you said those hateful things about Korea and China during the World Cup?

Liz says:

Mina-san,
Try to make a Japanese sentence based on today’s lesson. Make a bookmark out of this so it will be easy to find: http://www.japanesepod101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=447
Belton-san and Bueller-san will help us! I am a Beginner and I’m not too proud to make mistakes and learn from them, so you should try it, too! :grin:

Jason says:

My kingdom for a giant eraser.

Daniel Beck says:

Okay Jasonさん、

I believe you owe me your kingdom. Feel free to send it via Paypal. :wink:

avatar
Jason says:

Well my kingdom consists entirely of a campus apartment in Baton Rouge. I’ll leave it up to you to find a way to transfer that over paypal.

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

Meh. Keep it. You need it more than I do. :wink:

Sølvi says:

I guess I’m faceless. Well, I’m homeless at the moment, so I guess that suits me… Moving in to a new apartment in a month’s time, and in the meantime we’re living at my in-law’s. Expect me to spend a lot of time on my computer… :P

avatar
Laura says:

Daniel-san, I’ve been to Costa Rica and Toronto in its most humid and smog-filled summer, and Death Valley, and they were all worse than California, objectively speaking. But I’ve never been that hot while sitting doing nothing at 10pm. I think it’s what you’re used to. Just a little bit of humidity feels like a lot when you’re used to dry warmth.

Solvi-san, you can have my face.
