On December 18th this happened:
Now let me first say that I think this is kind of hilarious. Sure, I wouldn’t be laughing if it was me getting nailed in the gonads, but it isn’t me getting nailed in the gonads so I can laugh a little bit. This is what’s called [...]
The Sharks lost to the Detroit Redwings last night (rejoice Adrienne and Dmarks, but don’t get cocky, this was a fluke) and they lost big: 6-0. This was their second loss in two games so that is a bit disappointing. Still, it is probably good that they lost this one because that means that they [...]
So since I was mugged, the people here at the University have gone out of their way to make me feel comfortable and okay, as have my friends and family. I thank them for this, and accept it with gratitude and graciousness. The people here, fellow colleagues and some students, seem to be embarrassed by [...]

Ever since I got to the CZ I have wanted to go to an ice hockey match. The Czechs have a love of hockey, second only to that of their love for football (soccer), and since I am not a big soccer fan I wanted to experience their second favorite sports pasttime. Last night, I [...]
So the Iraqi government approved the new mandate under which US troops would operate a week or so ago (I’ve been really busy with work and so overwhelmed by everything that has been happening in the world that I haven’t had the time/desire to write on the blog for a bit, but that is changing [...]
Well, at least cooler than most. Sure, I am only a teacher of English, but I am a teacher of English in a foreign country, and that has to count for something, right? And, it’s not even a country where English is a common language (though it is becoming more so because of folks like [...]
Are another fun band. They are a male/female combo, with Amanda Palmer on the lyrics. Here’s a fun video from them:
I like this one cause she’s doing her best Robert Smith impression. Hilarious!
A very frantic s0ng and crazy video, but pretty good nonetheless. I especially like the [...]
