It's only working for two people here and they should keep it to themselves.

Damn, Swick back in action and already is going for knee surgery. He says he hopes to fight in 2012 again though.
Also Diego Sanchez wants Nate Diaz. That would be a phenomenal fight.

^ That's a damn shame because that was one of the best all around UFC cards in a long time.

I wonder if a bong and an ash tray full of loose seeds and stems had to be removed from the coffee table before the cameras got there. I also imagine a lot of empty solo cups laying around the premises.
What about the HUT numbers, playboy? Post the HUT numbers.

Heel - let me know how your ice cream turns out. I wouldn't mind getting in on that as a hobby myself.
Will do friend. I fear for my waistline.

They're showing UFC on Fox on Taiwanese TV now. Having Chinese commentators for this shit is weird.

Is one of them a cagey, knowledgeable loudmouth and the other just a loudmouth?
It's gotta be better than Rogan and Goldie.
Anything's better than Goldie, but I'm quite fond of Rogan (once you disregard the hyperbole).

Cant wait to see how miserable the numbers are for this weekends card. Hopefully Diaz gets the next title shot, the numbers would jump up significantly compared to Edgar headlined fight, people just dont give a f*ck about Edgar.

Wo ting bu dong Zhongwen.
But I love them not translating technical terms into Chinese. Hearing "Lauzon niggua triangle choke" gave me a decent chuckle.

Within the next 4 years we will see MMA completely watered down and all the personalities will have been long gone

Then the transition from spectacle to sport will be fully complete.
I want more pictures from mars dammit.
Too many cards for you, friend? Well then, get hype because UFC 152, UFC on Fuel TV 5, UFC on FX 5, and UFC 153 run in consecutive weeks. Furthermore, that Fuel TV card is on the same day as a Strikeforce card.
It's a good thing I don't have anything better to do between 4AM and 7AM on a saturday night! Thank you Uncle Dana!

No, but keep Dream and Chamber out of the base site.
rewatching the fight, yeah, if edgar avoided that upkick, he would have won. should be an easy thing to correct for fight 2.
that said, frankie always seems to get clipped by something - so i still think bendo wins
I've got a bad feeling about this!

Plan B if I can't find a job by September is to study full time. I've been here for over two years and outside of stringing together simple sentences and asking my local mealbox places for beef fried rice it's fairly depressing. Then again a full-time job where you work 10 hours a day does that to you.
Well, since I'm on the subject of Taiwan: I hate how a lot of women here wear fake eyelashes and coloured contact lenses. I've got some sort of aspergers shit going on with the eyes, and the fake eyelashes just look stupid. Combine that with the overkilled makeup and it's like a 14-year-old got her hands on her older sister's Friday Night Kit and just went crazy.

Honestly, I learned to speak what I can speak because I married into it and they'll plot against you. It is a survival mechanism. And, once my management found out I was able to speak some of the language, they started sending me to courses and then to overseas trips to help deal with our China offices because they preferred in-house managers. Now I manage remotely.
I found that if you find some shows to watch, it can make it more entertaining and can give you more of an incentive to learn. I personally got addicted to Kangxi Lai Le after developing a thing for Dee Hsu, even though I'm more of a Pan-Green voter, so to speak.
The colored contact lenses bug me too, but not as much as the black half-hose you sometimes see on the mainland (which makes them look like an old man wearing black socks and sandals). They're doing it as a statement of means, but damned if it doesn't look odd as all hell.

I don't know what's worse, working at a soul-crushing office job or being turned down from working at a soul-crushing office job.

At this point I'm contemplating returning to teaching English. Or as it's known in Taiwan: babysitting for US$20 per hour.
I turned down one soul-crushing job, to keep working at another soul-crushing job, while searching for yet more soul-crushing jobs.

How is teaching in Taiwan?

I've considered it. The only downside is the parents who want to get their kids into the public high schools and universities and don't realize that their children are dumb as rocks.

Worse than Korea, but the Korean gravy train is ending soon, and Japan's ESL industry might as well not exist anymore.
Honest answer: around US$2000 per month. Factor in around 5% taxation, universal health care and a decent sized apartment costing around US$400 and the salary is pretty good. If you don't mind teaching kindergarten students that is.
If you're a qualified teacher you can teach in a proper school. I'm not. But in Korea I taught in a middle school with just my software development degree and loved it (they changed it so that you need an additional TEFL/CELTA now, and probably added other herd-trimming requirements too.)
Pretty much.
One thing I'll say, is that whilst there's competition to teach English in Taipei and Xinbei leading to recruiters actually being "choosy" about who entertains their kids all day - as soon as you step outside of that are you'll get a job just by turning up for a demo lesson. And even in Taipei/Xinbei it's pretty much just a case of demo lesson attrition, you do 10-20 of them and you'll end up with a job - and/or a lack of will to actually work.
Still waiting to hear back on a couple of technical writing positions though. I give it until September.
