Lil Japanese Mama

So I have a lil Japanese mama that takes care of me. Not so much like this: But more like this: Errr….. maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to use those pictures as a follow up. Especially that last pose, gross! Anyway, you remember the dance class I’ve been taking, right? My teacher’s a… [Read more…]

Sexual Harrassment Story

Not my sexual harrassment story, mind you. With the extra free time I’ve had, I’ve been reading a book called School Based Leadership. It’s something I picked up from UCA’s library… they were throwing it out. It’s pretty dated (1974)… and boring. But one chapter gave a fun little case study, Erb V. Iowa State… [Read more…]

Too Cool

I’ll give one of my longer too-deep-in-thought rants later, but for now, check this… [Read more…]

Weddings and Preparations Thereupon

So, everybody’s getting married, even some acquaintances I’ve met over here. I feel just a little awkward attending since I haven’t known them that long, but I’m happy to join in on the celebration. In the short time I’ve known them, this couple’s really shown me around town, taking me to restaurants and sports games,… [Read more…]
