Getting to Praha Always an Adventure

November 28, 2008

So I left Liberec last night to visit some friends in Praha for Thanksgiving on Saturday. From the get go it did not go well. I have a private student until 530pm, and a bus leaves Liberec for Prague at 6pm. Normally, this would have been plenty of time to get to the bus station, [...]

Videos Videos Videos

November 26, 2008

It seems to be kind of a video day for me today. I went looking for this one because it’s been a while. Still must say that I enjoy it, and I think it is ironic/sad considering the state of the economy today.

Another one from Rage. It saddens me that this [...]

Grover Norquist

November 26, 2008

Is a moron. Well, we all probably already knew that, but here is further proof.
Snarky comments welcome.
It’s nice that he’s sticking by his “tax reform morals” that have got us no where, and I think it’s funny that he tries to blame Democrat policies that have yet to take effect, just because “we have finally [...]

The Man with the crazy pockets

November 26, 2008

I found this on Raw Story today and thought it was worth sharing. I like Kucinich. I think that he has a lot of good ideas/things to say, and I think it is somewhat sad that he is looked on as such a koot and a crazy man because that means that no matter how [...]

Enough with the Credit

November 26, 2008

Christ, I am so sick of hearing how the way to solve the economic problem is to give banks money so that they can start lending and get the credit crisis under control. I mean seriously, if that were truly the solution, then things would be getting better, not worse, because of all the money [...]

Pirates Win Again

November 26, 2008

So remember last week when the world was happy (myself included) that the Indian Navy sunk a pirate “mother ship.” Well, it turns out, that wasn’t really the case. See, the supposed “mother ship” wasn’t really that at all, but rather a Thai fishing trawler, that had been seized by pirates a few hours earlier. [...]

Girls Girls Girls

November 25, 2008

Stole this pic froma friend’s blog cause it is just too cool and needs to be seen by others.
Now Awaiting Snarky comments of the sexually perverse nature, but try to keep it kind of clean. I’m not squeamish, mind you, but this pic has the potential to really have some not so subtle words thrown [...]

Poor Silly Students

November 25, 2008

So I will be one hated teacher next week as I will automatically at least six students for talking during and after the test I gave this week. I let them finish the test (maybe I shouldn’t have), but I explained explicity to them that there was to be no talking during or after the [...]

Listening and Blogging for the Sharks

November 23, 2008

To the Sharks play Washington right now, and with about six minutes left in the first period I am extremely happy, The Sharks have a 2-0 lead on 3 shots on goal. Brian Boucher is still in good, which is good because he has been solid as hell lately, and ther is no reason to [...]

Don’t Hug Pandas

November 22, 2008

Or any other bear for that matter. In China a college student climbed over a two meter fence and into a Panda pen at a park for a hug. Then he was surprised as the bear bit him in the arms and legs. Park officials said, that it is common knowledge not to cross a [...]
