A little confused about fashion

from his female classmates.

Uncle Ho’s visit to 7.2

August 26th, 2010 2 comments

I was teaching diphthongs today and “beard” was one of the modeling words. I turned around from writing something on the board to find that Uncle Ho had made a surprise visit to the class.

A few minutes later Uncle Ho’s beard had grown another 6 inches. I can’t wait to see it next week.

Lotteria ad

August 23rd, 2010 No comments

Can someone explain this to me? Lotteria is a very poor quality burger chain. This entire phrase seems like it was destined for another organization but the deal fell through so it was offloaded to the next highest bidder.

No more daily digests but here’s a cat

August 22nd, 2010 3 comments

After experiencing weeks of downtime on Channel Steve and being told it was due to too much script activity I’ve decided to change how I use it.

From now on there will be no more Daily Digests. That means you’ll need to keep an eye on the Twitter column to the right if you want to keep up with my micro-blogging without actually joining Twitter. You’ll also need to look regularly at the Latest Flickr Images feed on the right for a prompt to go see what I’ve uploaded lately.

An advantage of this change is that I may be forced to blog more often. If I don’t this is going to become a rather boring place to visit.

Blog updates without photos are generally boring, so here’s a gratuitous shot of Mushroom (my cat) whom I miss a LOT!

I could use this right now
