It isn't (though two episodes and a webisode are), I was just establishing Crackfox's bad taste :p

We really need a 'dislike' button around here.

If we're going to talk about TV shows that only a few people in the conversation watch, can we talk about Mad Men?

I've never seen Mad Men, i've heard about it though. Shows that I love to talk about include, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Game of Thrones. Let me just reiterate The Walking Dead!

Mad Men is on AMC just like Walking Dead and Breaking Bad, so it wouldn't be hard to pick it up in your TV schedule!

APRIL 7 is the day that Mad Men season six begins. APRIL 7 is the day when Rose's life begins again.

Re: the contents of your dashboard:

Eh, I like MLP, but the fandom is starting to drive me crazy.

And when people act like it's really deep because they can read this and that into it or because it has a long TVTropes page, I have to wonder if those people watch any other shows.

I've never liked MLP, not even when I was really young. I have nothing wrong with people liking it, don't get me wrong, it's just not my kind of thing. My dash is always active, and usually full of Homestuck, Hetalia and Sherlock, so just the stuff I like. :p

I wasn't into MLP when I was little, either; I never went through a "horses" or "ponies" phase like a lot of little girls did.

But I did enjoy the current version of the cartoon when a bunch of my friends got into it and I gave it a chance. I was really into the fandom for a while, and then it got crazy and I got more into other shows and lost interest.


Anyway, so this person on Tumblr I was talking with about languages makes me think maybe I shouldn't bitch about how bad my middle and high school French teachers were, because clearly, there are ones out there a lot worse. They were playing cards and her teacher taught them that "roi" ("king") is pronounced like the English name "Roy" and I'm just like...

Got my radiohead singles today.

And a bank fraud letter, I got a call that someone had purchased a top up for a pay as you go phone in my name. Really odd, but it'll all get sorted once I sign and send this letter.

Are you sure though? Maybe the letter itself is the fraud. Make sure you are confident before you sign that thing. You might be giving a kidney away or something :0
Radiohead singles huh? Which ones?

Ignores Missingno and Mijz because they're talking about Community

Haha, no, its legit, I got a new card a couple days ago and this forms from RBS, I need not worry :p

I got Airbag/How Am I Driving, Paranoid Android and Karma Police.

About the MLP thing. I... can't explain why I watch the show but... it just gets to you.

Do you have any advice on how to even pronounce "roi"? Every time I try my Anglophone tongue slips and I barf out something like "wlahwuhluh".

The French "r" takes some practice. The best approximation is you start off saying an "r" and sort of turn it into an "l" along the way. How long have you been taking French? I'm pretty sure I was about two or three years into it when I finally got it.

(And then you're so good at it you start doing it accidentally in other languages with more difficult "r"s, like German.)

Otherwise, "oi" in French is usually a "wa" sound.


When I was in sixth grade, something like this supposedly happened in one of the boys' bathrooms and caused it to get locked due to "inappropriate use" for the rest of the year.

I've been teaching myself for about three years now. Sporadically, I mean. I still can hardly do anything with it, I only took an interest because I felt stupid only knowing one language.

You'll get it eventually, I'm sure.

Anyway, your reasoning isn't a bad one. Being monolingual doesn't make you stupid, but it's definitely helpful to know another language, especially one as widely-spoken as French is.

like when a manga you want to read is hard to find in English because it never got a full US or UK release

It also usually makes you better at your mother tongue because the grammatical concepts (at least with Indo-European languages that are closely related to English) will transfer. (This is why I always laugh at people who pitch a fit about "this is America, we speak English!" stuff because 9 times out of 10, their own grammar and spelling is atrocious. Learning another language might help!)

I am learning Spanish through school. When I was in Africa I learned Swahili (semi).

Spanish is a language I definitely want to learn.

After I learn Japanese, Russian and Italian first, of course. And before all those, make my German better. :-D

(seriously, I have a list running of "languages I want to learn," and it has an order to it)

It all depends on if they show it in England. I don't know if they do or not. I usually like to catch things from episode one, if I can.

Good to know. Trust no one.

Nice! I thought everyone got their music from itunes these days.

Sorry, didn't realize you weren't in the US, so I was thinking in terms of US channels.

I'm pretty sure they do air it there, considering how popular it is here. I mean, it's probably more popular than some of the other series people have mentioned here, and it's spawned shitloads of imitators.
