And so, with the resolution of today’s closing ceremonies, the school year has finally ended. I’ll be spending the next few weeks in the office, twiddling my thumbs and trying to be productive. I’ve already started writing a list of things I can do during this time:
Finish reading a few novels (less than half of [...]
I’m not dead, but I feel like it.
It’s been a long several weeks. Last week in particular was rough, as I had to visit elementary schools every day. Now, I don’t know how many of you can appreciate what I’m about to say, but it’s the god’s honest truth.
Little kids are life sucking vampires that [...]
Hey, David. Yeah, you. Write more, I’m not a one-man army (though I play one in video games all the time).
Speaking of which, I haven’t talked about video games in a while. So here goes!

PC - Half-Life 2: Episode 2 - Just beat this last Tuesday night. It was a bit of a chore, as [...]
Wow, so, Super Tuesday (or Wednesday for me). I’m sure that, if you’re terribly curious, you can read all the information, statistics, exit polls, and punditry you’ll ever want regarding this. So, in the interests of not boring our dear readers to death, I’ll only touch on two things:

I wanted perfection, and I got Eli Manning. That sour taste in my mouth isn’t just me forgetting to brush my teeth this morning, or the blackened and burned coffee in my cup. Eli Manning won a Superbowl last Sunday.
Allow me to cut and paste a message I sent to my friend on January 15th, [...]
For shame. I am terribly irresponsible, and missed the deadline for my monthly Japanese correspondence course test. I can submit it late, but only once. If I do it more than this one time, I lose the ability to drop one of the grades. I don’t think I’ll do badly enough on any of them [...]

If you talk as much on your cell phone as you do in America, you’re going to end up paying a ridiculous amount of money. Which isn’t to say that I [...]
Tagged cell phones, culture, English, Heath LedgerWow, this week has been hectic. I wanted to write something earlier, but I couldn’t seem to find a moment when I wasn’t horribly distracted by countless other things. Much of that has passed, though, and I find myself with a welcome moment of respite.
My work load for the past semester was pretty [...]
I’m currently working on some materials and plans for next week’s classes. More specifically, I’m concocting an elaborate vocabulary review game for seventh graders as well as preparing Jeopardy questions for my eighth graders. Fun times to be had by all, I assure you.

This just in: Bill Richardson is dropping out of the race for president. Unfortunately, he’s still in the race for VP or a cabinet position.
I’ll admit, I thought his experience would have made him a good president at first. Then he proceeded to remind me of it at every turn. Here’s a [...]
