On my iPod

My wife has twigged me onto the “Cat Who” series, and I assiduously have been following the audiobooks on my daily journey to and from work after a massive purchase from iTunes. The mellifluous tones of George Guidall have proven to be a calming influence. And while they are ostensibly cat stories, I strongly suspect the protagonist, Jim Qwilleran, to be a closeted gay man. Not that anything’s wrong with that. But wouldn’t it be more interesting if there was Cat Who slash fiction?

In addition, I have been following German and Japanese language lessons thanks to Deutsche Welle and NHK. DW’s course, the unfortunately named “Deutsch: Warum Nicht?” has been rather compelling. I hope I’ll be able to make use of these languages soon. The NHK one, Japan My Love, is unintentionally hilarious, as it involves a gaijin studying aikido in Japan, who meets a girl, and the dialogues seem to be going in a certain direction…
