after the very zestful exchange of language-teaching ideas/methods and rehashing of linguistic jargon and theories at edmen's hse the other day, i feel the renewed urge to throw myself into anything linguistic-related. so i did some googling and came up with this: Language Conferences Worldwide

and then i found this http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/cls/clasic2010/Registration.htm. but fuck! 480$? i never knew attending conferences cost tt much. i feel quite naive but i had actually (till 5 mins ago) thought tt these kinds of things were free. nabei. tsk. watever. i guess i cant make it anyway cos of work. so much for sch "holidays"... meh.

i think i'm grumpy cos i'm hungry.

i told edmen tt i reckon we'd fit right in if there was some linguistics anonymous group or something. for the real hardcore types, you know? hell yea. i'd type in ipa right now if i could, just to put my point across. if linguistics were a man, i'd marry him. actually... maybe not. if music were a man, i'd marry him. ok no i change my mind. i want food, music, linguistics, .. mm wat else? i duno but seriously, fuck the man, man (haha pun not intended. ok maybe it was haha.) bring on all the things tt won't let me dwn. yes yes yes. why am i feeling so decadent right now?

ok i think i need to answer the gurgling stomach. à toute à l'heure mes camarades locuteurs!!
