Finals week has come and gone, leaving me with a sore throat and plenty of grading to get through. One last push with a huge synchronized test for combined classes this afternoon and it will be done. In this time of paper flurries and worried sophomore ministration, only one thing can snap me back to my happy place at any given time:
-
Mina is little Mika/Merin
There is no denying it: Just as there is no denying that Max is little Adam.

He’s right, though… Street racing is a young man’s game.

Mosquitoes Eating Fruit (Part 2 – Eggplant)
I thought I was going to have to rename this series to “Mosquitoes eating Fruits and Vegetables,” but as luck would have it, it seems that the internet mostly agrees that eggplant is actually fruit. So anyway, here’s what a typical vegetarian mosquito sucks on: —————- Click to see the entire Mosquitoes Eating Fruit Series.

Best Product Name 2013 – “I Like Vaggie”
I’m going to declare this the automatic winner for 2013, even though it’s only January. I found it for sale in the canned goods isle of our new Tesco Lotus megastore. This is a can of vegetarian fried rice that I assume was supposed to be, “I Like Veggies.” It isn’t “I Like Veggies,” however, it’s “I LIKE VAGGIE.” That’s rude, crude, and totally the best product name of 2013.

The Beginning of the Golden Age – Freestyle Cool J 1985
This video is mindblowing on so many levels – it’s the earliest footage of LL performing vocally (there is apparently earlier footage of him breaking). There’s a small crowd in the college gym that’s apparently getting its first taste of rapping/scratching. LL explains what he’s going to do before actually doing it; at this point, he hasn’t even released his first album! If you click through to the YouTube page, the son of the man that hired LL for this performance reveals details in the comments.

Thai TESOL Conference – After Action Report
My workshop went pretty well, I was told. One of the participants told me it was the most useful thing she saw at the conference, which was very nice to hear. The biggest problem I faced was that the provided wifi was very unreliable, which made it very difficult for the audience to interact in real-time, but it eventually worked out when the network stabilized halfway through. One attendee asked if I knew about Edmodo and asked why he should use my system instead of it. I told him that I’d like to show him why at the end of the workshop, and then he disappeared and missed out on…

Thailand TESOL International Conference 2013
I’ll be running a 45-minute workshop tomorrow at this year’s Thai TESOL Conference entitled, “Using Technology to Aid in Teaching Oversized ESL Classes.” This is the first time I’m attending the conference, and I decided if I was going to pay the stiff entry fee, I was at least going to have some fun with it. I talked to a few people today who have been repeatedly turned down as presenters, so I guess I was lucky to be accepted. Wish me luck!
