I am going on a 6 hour train trip tomorrow, followed by a couple of days at my mom's house, and then I am driving back in our shiny new van. I am trying to decide if I should spend my time working on a new conlang, an old conlang, or working on learning Irish. (Learning Irish on my own has been tough for me, but it's gotten to be a bit of an obsession. I will not be defeated!)
I am leaving early in the morning and I am taking a couple of Irish books, a new notebook, and my current notes on Teliya Nevashi. I probably won't even get a chance to check Gaia until tomorro night, so this isn't really a question... Though it might have been if I'd given it more thought sooner.
Coming back is a no brainer. I am going to pop language CDs into the CD player and enjoy it while there's noone else in the van to complain about it. mrgreen
We'll see what happens. And if I come up with something new, I am going to be plastering it all over the section for posting conlangs. biggrin

So much for conlanging on my trip! I was riding with my son who talked to me for the entire trip. No complaints about that, but I didn't spend any time scribbling in my notebooks at all. I was really busy the whole time I was at my mom's house.
But I did use language CDs coming back-- Pimsleur's ... what is it? Quick and Simple?... Irish. It's Munster Irish, which is a dialect I am not really familiar with, so I was kind of jazzed about learning a new dialect angle. And I haven't really used Pimsleur, so I was glad to try out the method. If you don't need to know how to read or write (learning to speak first), it really seems pretty cool. I am a strongly aural/oral learner, so all that listen-and-answer worked pretty well for me.
I have been doing a little conlang scribbling since I got back, but nothing to write home about... or, you know, to post about on the Net about.

Chinese is more and more interesting to me.
And Irish is a really hard language for me, but I keep chipping away at it.
I've been tempted to teach kids one of my conlangs-- not to replace English, of course, but just for fun. That might be a little too weird though. rofl
