For past several months I have been blogging once each other day, but recently it is getting hard to keep up with this schedule. I decided to prefer quality over quantity; from now on, I will update my blog twice a week, on Tuesday and on Friday. I will do my best to put more creative energy into my writing. Therefore the next post will appear next week, Tuesday.
In the meantime, my Tumblr posts, those who appear on the sidebar, are going well and alive. Many of them are updated each day, so please enjoy them 🙂
I can asure you that in my place the ipad is the best toy for my kids, but it is very important to choose the apps for them.
I got a blog that is being publicating apps for kids:

I had never heard of him until 2007 or 08. Ironically, I had been having a cow to find a movie he was in back in 2001, The Invisible Circus. I don’t think he’s a bad actor actually. I did love the Susan Cooper Dark is Rising series when I was young, and he had the villain’s role. I think that was 04 or 05. Which Elizabeth was he in? I would have to go to imdb to find out. But have you noticed all the freaking faux Freudian porn news in the past week? I refuse to put it all on my blog but if you happen to have any news sites you recommend, please pass them along to me. I am reading and looking in all the wrong places it seems.
Admittedly never having watched Dr.Who, judging from the stills (and reviews) Eccelston was a perfect casting… Because he isn’t making good movies nowadays (where did Jude, Elizabeth, and With or Without you go?), he should have focused on making a great Dr.Who…shame.
One of the literary gems I found, if you get into literary and linguistic archaeology was all about Homonym acquisition, it would only be a Marxist reading if one connected it with dialectical materialism or a deterministic reading or rendering (to tear) of History. Oh, but this bit reminds me of why I had a proverbial cow about the supposed perversion of purity of a blond James Bond…and now we are back to Dr. Who and time slippage. I did finally catch up with the new series and was tickled about the Bond gendered discourse parallel with David Tennants own Scottish Heritage. It also makes me wonder about Eccelston’s fear of type casting. Be Well. Heidi
Hmm, so different parts of our brains might be stimulated depending on the language we use? With Japanese, English, Chinese, and Spanish on the horizon, I might be overstimulating my brain. No wonder I always feel sleepy..
That is interesting about YOUR eyes and pressure. My Mom was anorexic and bulemic when I was a child and I have often wondered what the real link between the visual disparity that sometimes accompanies the illness (conjoined or not) and things like language and how the brain's hemispheres perceive information.
I hope you are well. I had a bee in my bonnet yesterday so I hope my random posting as oppsed to proper editing didn't spam your typepad box.

Yes, we read top to bottom and left to right – originally we only had the vertical direction but when the horizontal direction was introduced by Western documents, we adopted (just like we do every day). I prefer top to bottom. For some reason it is less pressuring to my eyes.
Interesting no doubt. I assume that Chinese is like Japanese, read left to right, when it’s vertical, isit read top to bottom? (cultural ignorance for grown ups) : )
…Or wait until V2.0 arrives. No I still won’t buy it…
You are probably right about them being for a future generation. I don’t plan to buy one anytime soon!
