I was in a funk this morning. On Friday night I couldn't go out with Bob the deranged Texan because I had to pick up something on Sat and I knew if I was to venture out I would destroy myself and not wake up in time.

I was taught a song yesterday by Tom, one of my fifth graders (a smart but lazy little git). It goes to the tune of "Happy Birthday".

Mickey Mouse delivered a series of amazing speeches to Congress, many of which have found their way into lesson plans in numerous Social Studies, American History and Civil Rights classes in schools ranging from kindergarten to college. However, it was obvious that these speeches, though brilliant, would more than likely not be enough to get ( Read more... )

So right, I was hanging around home all day on Sat, nursing a mild hangover from my evening of drunken wiki-editing on Friday. And I didnt have much to do until I went into Seoul to meet up with this American guy cause Im joining his DnD campaign here for lulz.
