How to Learn (But Not Master) Any Language in 1 Hour (Plus: A Favor)
Just a blog post I ran across with some excellent tips for evaluating how difficult it will be to learn a given language. Not necessarily something I’d use (since I’d pick a language based on what it would get me and then soldier on, rather than learning languages based on how easy it’ll be) but something to keep in mind nonetheless.

So You Want To Learn Japanese
I ran across this hilarious joke article a year or two ago but forgot to blog about it. It’s primarily focused on people who are interested in learning Japanese, but you’ll get a laugh out of it no matter who you are.

Monster Madness, Part 1 @ YouTube
Yeah, I know most horror fans have probably already seen this, but whether or not you like Horror films, you should watch it. I’m not a Horror fan, but this provides a great way for fans to check if they’ve missed any classics, and non-fans to learn a little more about the history of this aspect of popular culture without having to actually watch the films.

For those who have never seen one, a “[character name] is…” image is a short comic-style summary of what (the image’s creator thinks) a character is and is not. Image quality and accuracy can vary, but on the whole, they’re a lot of fun and a great thing to throw at idiotic fanfiction authors who don’t get the “it’s their character, not yours” aspect of writing a good story.
Here are some of the ones I really enjoyed:
