I assume this is from Starship Troopers, I just finished the book. I’ve seen the “I’m doing my part” gif for years and never seen the movie, but maybe this’ll be the kick I need to actually watch it.

Here’s a fun video about the NYC subway and pointing.

I used to ride this pretty frequently, at $2.90, it’s a cheap and fun to do for tourists and locals alike. Plus Roosevelt island is a nice place to stroll around and feels very different from the mainland (aka Manhattan 😉)

I studied 5/7 days, but I’ve got some friends visiting so that always makes it difficult to carve out time. Also, it’s almost impossible to find someone to practice speaking with so I don’t have a good feel for my conversational ability. I’ll continue reading for the time being, but the good news is that I’m able to understand more each day and I’m getting faster.

I watched the first two seasons hoping it would get better and it never did. Sounds like it’s continuing on that trajectory which is a shame cause I was really hoping it would be good.

Been a long time since I’ve seen a comic from The Oatmeal

Yup, taken from Jersey city looking at lower Manhattan.

I can’t recommend Language Transfer highly enough! It’s completely free too.
