Well. I appear to have skipped an entire month in blogging, thanks to piles of work at, well, work, running my first Hall campaign, and then going on vacation 'til mid-July. Sorry 'bout that (all... four of you?).
Anyway... have a few links.
Alas, I can't claim credit for the first one, as I got it from Mattchew. But it's really funny, and it's probably going into my sidebar right soon. So, meet David Morgan-Mar, creator of the gamer-geekishly funny Irregular Webcomic!
In addition, I've been researching Irish Gaelic (don't ask. Really), and have come across more than a few amusing pages in the process. I liked the Irish Lesson with Celtic Harpist Dennis Doyle, which treats you to a quick-and-dirty lesson on how to get smacked in an Irish pub, and Fios Feasa's site, which features sound files of spoken Gaelic and some rather amusing subtitles on the lesson names. (I got to the second one through Omniglot, which, if I haven't mentioned it before, deserves a mention as the best site I've ever seen on written language and writing systems.)
Oops, and nearly forgot-- what's an introduction to a new language without a bilingual dictionary? I liked this one because it lets you back-search and provides a handy way of typing in the odder characters, and because it gives you the words in context. I would have liked a little more thorough definition (and maybe a pronunciation guide) BESIDES the context, tho'....
