Which One is Supposed to be Jesus?

Yesterday was all about becoming introduced to an episode of Star Trek - I explained how there was an "Old" series and a "New" series. When exploring the cultish following of Star Trek, I compared it a bit to Christianity - there are people who prefer Old Star Trek as a more pure form, while others prefer the Next Generation. Still others prefer one of the otehr series, while some only enjoy the movies. It's all confusing, especially for Emma M., who asked the question heading this entry. To answer: NONE of them. it's just a show.

In class today, you took a short quiz to gauge your video retention. Then you completed a handout and we came up with our own contextual language (Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, etc.). The lesson is about communication - you need to know not only the words and definitions, but also the CONTEXT in order to truly understand what is being conveyed. That is why it is just as imoprtant to learn about the culture of a people as well as their native language. So, when Fresco played music all the time, it was good for class - but harmful to us and our environment, which is why we moved downstairs.

And go see Will in Grease.


Since we have been look ing at language, inflection, and German:


As much as I wanted to share the confused turtle, I couldn't. So here is a sad, but funny clip of a sleeping dog:

  1. Will looks badass in that picture. "Don't go there girlfriend" is all I can picture him saying.

  9. I wrote a song about Europe on my blog. It's amazing.


    Since we aren't allowed to watch Southpark, I think we should watch the McDonalds movies. They communicate in all kinds of ways, I mean they're talking to chicken nuggets! That's pretty incredible if you ask me.

  10. Brodin-順帝昇明二年,遣使上表曰:封國偏遠,作藩于外,自昔祖禰,躬擐甲冑,跋渉山川,不遑寧處。東征毛人五十國,西服衆夷六十六國,渡平海北九十五國,王道融泰,廓土遐畿,累葉朝宗,不愆于歳。臣雖下愚,忝胤先緒,驅率所統,歸崇天極,道逕百濟,裝治船舫,而句驪無道,圖欲見吞,掠抄邊隸,虔劉不已,毎致稽滯,以失良風。雖曰進路,或通或不。臣亡考濟實忿寇讎,壅塞天路,控弦百萬,義聲感激,方欲大舉,奄喪父兄,使垂成之功,不獲一簣。居在諒闇,不動兵甲,是以偃息未捷。至今欲練甲治兵,申父兄之志,義士虎賁,文武效功,白刃交前,亦所不顧。若以帝德覆載,摧此強敵,克靖方難,無替前功。竊自假開府儀同三司,其餘咸各假授,以勸忠節。
