Students and social media – a horrible mix. There’s been some conflict between a teacher and a class in school recently. Having heard the teacher’s side of the story, I’m more inclined to believe her because (a) I know the class and it does not surprise me that they act that way and (b) I… Continue reading »

Bees in a Bell Jar
This is simultaneously somewhat fascinating and creepy. One of the insects that I am quite nervous about are bees so seeing so many of them, even in a picture, gives me the shudders. That being said, seeing the bees build a beehive is still quite awesome.

Linkity Link
Just one link today but it’s incredibly hilarious. I can’t believe I didn’t find it sooner. Thanks to silly fandom sites on livejournal. Hyperbole and a Half. Just in case you were interested, I’m typing this with my cat’s butt in my face. :(

Old Spice needs a tag of its own now
I have to say, with everything they have done, including real time twitter responses, the Old Spice ad campaign is the most memorable and fun one I have seen in a while (maybe ever).

Brain Dead
In lieu of a properly thought out and written blog post, have some awesome Old Spice commercials. Has there been a more awesome advertising campaign? With a more awesome spokesperson?

This cannot do so I took some time out to do some serious research on this really important boy who is invading my students’ heads.… Continue reading »

I will comment on… Continue reading »

Sigh
A number of things happened today – small ones – that have put me in quite a negative mood. I can’t divulge details but essentially I am disappointed in a number of things today. It’s probably not a good idea to let me know that you don’t like certain races, especially when we are supposed… Continue reading »

Scary
Right … apparently 400 over people visited this blog today, which makes me feel (perhaps somewhat illogically) nervous. So I shall go back to posting some silly, fandom stuff. Here’s something I found while wandering around tumblr looking for Merlin pictures. :D Disclaimer: I don’t watch Doctor Who. How true.
