New Language and Pro Wrestling
-Due to not having cable, I've watched dozens of basketball games online this year in Mandarin. And you would be surprised at how much of the language I've picked up. None. Nothing. Not one word. You would think that after about 30 hours of hearing the language, I would pick up at least one word. Maybe basketball, the or and. But the only thing I picked up was NBA, which in Mandarin is pronounced "N-B-A," with a Chinese accent.
-Seriously, even if you aren't into politics or professional wrestling, you have to check this out. All three presidential candidates were on Monday Night Raw last night. It was hysterical. Obama had one awkward line, and one really funny one. Clinton's remarks were painfully awkward. Very painful. And then there was McCain. McCain is probably the funniest of the three candidates (All three are very funny when not using prepared remarks). I was expecting McCain's statement to be pretty good. But it ended up being possibly the most awkward thing I've ever seen. That awkward. At one point, he said that people don't watch wrestling "because we're bitter," but because "wrestling is about celebrating our freedom." There's no way to direct-link to it, so go to the WWE site and find it. It will be worth it.
