I'm such a sucker for these kind of things aren't I - now I'm registered on http://www.blogtree.com. It did give me a pause for thought moment though because when I went to sign up I was thinking of my influences now - all those things like http://hydragenic.com and http://www.notsosoft.com/blog that I read every day and have a lot of influence over the things I find (like this) and the way I write. But actually what they're recording is who inspired you to create your blog
and if you look back at my very first post you can see in black and white (well alright, black purple and yellowish) that back in those days I knew nothing about the whole blogging thing at all but Alex and Archie had just started up here and Alex suggested it to me. So they're my blog parents. Which is disturbing.

<xterm> The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

New Project

OK - my next resolution is to improve my French from rubbishy school girl to something I could have a half way decent conversation in. I plan to accomplish this in several ways, a couple of which I need help with (dotty, this means you).

1. I still vaguely remember what the grammar rules are supposed to be but my vocab is lamentable. So number 1 is a word a day website of some kind - any recommendations?
2. I remember being told that "the more you listen the more you learn" so I plan to try and listen to an hour or so a day of French radio - preferably the french equivalent of radio 4 (i.e. all talking) - again, recommendations?
3. I'll never learn if I don't use it so I've created a new journal - tinyjo_francais which I'm going to write in french in (I'll have to work out how you get accents and stuff in). I'm going to try and add something to it at least once a fortnight - anyone who speaks french please come and correct my spelling and stuff :)

And if you can think of any other things I can do, suggest below...
