Today in class, after finishing our emails, we worked on ideas for our grammar podcasts.  At first I was really turned off on the idea of doing a grammar podcast.  I adamantly argued in class that some of the podcasts featured on this website are not about grammar.  I guess I just couldn't think of a way to make grammar "interesting" or "exciting" and if it's not exciting, who the heck would want to listen to it, let alone create it?

Okay so I wish I could say I found some magical secret about making grammar interesting, but alas I have not.  It's still for the most part, pretty dry.  Today while everyone else was busy reading rules from various style books I picked up the picture books based off "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" and have to say I enjoyed them.  Using pictures to explain how important proper punctuation is, was just genius.  I have been thinking all day about the joke with the panda walking into a library, eating a sandwich, shooting a bow and arrow, and then leaving.  (A panda "eats, shoots and leaves) Anyway, I'm not sure what the point is that I was trying to make, other than the fact that grammar is sometimes boring, sometimes slightly funny, but usually necessary.
