DDR tonight with M-kun, and it was crazy and wonderful. We tried to talk in Japanese as much as possible while dancing which meant I ended up shouting 'hyai' and 'koreoshitakunaiyo' a lot. Still it was crazy fun, and it's official: I'm getting better at DDR. I even outscored M-kun once or twice (most times he kicked my tail). I also learned ( Read more... )

I noticed on a friend's facebook page that they're making a sequel to the Dark Crystal (in 2011 x.x) and it got me on a nostalgic kick, so I rewatched Labyrinth. Still such an awesome movie, but now the songs are quite stuck in my head, hence the title ( Read more... )

(So I guess maybe this means I won't have to TA again, although I'm still holding out hope for the dissertation completion award I applied for as far as my funding goes ( Read more... )

I have rediscovered that I am truly an evil TA. I do not give mercy points. Well I do give mercy points, but I give them while grading. Once I've made my decision on your grade, assuming I didn't make a mistake on that assessment, you are NOT going to get points back from me. And you are welcome to argue for as long as you wish, it's not going ( Read more... )

Today for everyones amusement I have a bunch of two sentence thoughts: lucky all of you. It's been a pretty cool week/weekend ( Read more... )
