Fish!

Here they are! 16 or so, I think...I successfully changed about 25% of the water in the tank today. I'm glad I only have to do that every two weeks, though it wasn't too bad.

See the rest of the fish pictures here, if you think you can take the excitement.

Baby Names

In anticipation of Chad and Lori's new arrival, I've been kicking around some possible names. Here's what I've got so far.

Boy:
Ambrose
Spivey
Bayonet
Norm

Girl:
Maude
Gussie
Rundgren (or "Rundie" for short)

Any of those would probably be appropriate.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Chad and Lori, who I've just been informed are expecting their first baby! In news that can only be described as on the same level of importance, I bought seven new fish for my tank. Pics to follow!

This is a little bit sappy....

...but hey, what's wrong with that? :) Enjoy.

Do the Fish Stick!

This might be the best podcast ever.

Ten Days?

It's been ten days since my last post? I remember when I used to crank stuff out on here every day. This weekend I played guitar at Benchwarmers again. Here's a clip of me rocking some Oasis.




And when I say rocking, I mean barely getting by.

Cool glasses!

Yesterday one of my students brought some sunglasses to class. They were so awesome, I had to try them on. They reminded me of some Homestar Runner shades. (Image courtesy of The Homestar Runner Wiki.)

In case you need a benchmark....

That's all I've got for today.

Is this really news?

I got a new aquarium this weekend. It looks small in the picture, but it's actually pretty massive. I have to wait seven days for the water to be ready for the fish. Any ideas on what kinds of fish I should get?

Interview Exam

The next two weeks, instead of teaching, I will be doing interview exams with the students. Basically, they study and prepare answers for six questions, one of which they will have to answer (randomly) for the test. Some students did very well, although it was clear they'd rehearsed their answer, while some students gave me the ol blank stare for the 45 alloted seconds.

Starcraft

It's hard to believe that a game that's 11 years old is still as popular as ever in a nation as technologically advanced as Korea. Here's a shot of my students pouring over a strategy guide between classes.
