A List

Of topics that have occurred to me for blog posts that I haven't gotten around to making yet:

  • An in-depth 'from the trenches' report --- Mulletology: A Hairstyle and the Moscow Elite. (With Pictures!)
  • Why doesn't the Blogspot built-in dictionary recognize the word 'blog?'
  • The evolution of titling schemes over the centuries.
  • What I've learned after (almost) 6 months of teaching English.
  • Nostalgia Blogging: What ever happened to heads of state leading their armies into battle?
  • What Russian Women Want.
  • Why Russian Women Are Wanted.
  • Political Incorrectness and English Language textbooks.
  • Alcoholism in Russia. (NB: I really don't have anything to say about this, so it would, sadly, only be pictures of men passed out a variety of places and positions at 10 am).
  • Why the Die Hard cycle is the best thing that ever happened to movies. Ever. (NB: this isn't some counter-intuitive argument about how its badness acts as some kind of cure for the malaise that contemporary cinema finds itself in. It's about how hard Die Hard rocks.)
  • Why the Beatles really suck. (And why George Harrison was their only redeeming quality (though insufficient to counter the John-Paul axis of stupid)).
  • The peculiarities of Western art penetration into the former Soviet Union. Why are Deep Purple and O'Henry huge over here, but no one has ever heard of the Who or Melville?
Since it is doubtful that I will ever write all of these, I am soliciting requests.
