Poetry Scribble: Eating Enough Poetry!

Today I felt the need to create. So I did. I’m unsure what I think about it. You let me know, hm? Consumption If I eat enough, I’ll grow, swelling into something altogether different, rounder, more more, more yes, more possessable. There’s this moment when I’m flipping open ring boxes and swallowing the contents, jewels […]

A Tale of Test-Giving

Today I gave a test, which is kind of the first actual like… test test I’ve given. I’ve always been a writing teacher. No tests there! Tests are stupid in a writing class. So I gave one this time, because I am teaching a non-writing class, so that seemed like the thing to do. It […]

The End of Visit. The End of Visit Blogs.

Well, the trip is over, and this’ll be the last of the little visit blogs, I suppose. Back to my normal blogging stupidity tomorrow. Our last day together was nice, but much too short, of course. I taught, and he made French Toast, which I had shown him how to make. It turned out well! […]

Visit Mini-Update Five: The Day Where I Cried Like An Idiot

Another day down! It’s almost over…! That’s unfortunate. Still, it was time to do some cool shit, so we did some cool shit, I suppose! Yay. We were mostly lazy. We threw down in some more YDKJ, for instance, and we watched more stuff. I showed him the joys of Mah Jong anime, for example, […]

Visit Mini-update, what, four? Things I Planned.

Today we watched some movie films, and played some vidjeo gaemz. We also went to the home of the thrown rolls! It was fun. Basically, we woke up, and made a homemade pizza. Like, for serious. Aesa made dough, and I fried some beef for toppings, and we cheesed it and everything and cooked it. […]

Mini-Update Three: Meet the Parents (Not the Movie with Ben Stiller)

Another visit day down! It started with a really good peer review session (seriously, my students were totally into it! Always nice) and then it went pretty good after that! Pretty really good. Like good pretty really pretty good good really. You know, words in a sequence to denote a day being good! We did […]

Mini-Update Two: Busy Day

I’m going to let the horrible, ridiculous, nonsensical word order of the last post stand. Let it be known and I was stupid and writing a blog quickly. LET IT BE KNOWN. Anyway, here’s a rundown of the key things that happened yesterday. 1) Aesa cooked me lots of nice food because Aesa is awesome! […]

Update Mini-visit One: Foodventures

Aesa is here. He arrived fine. Things are going great! We talked about how generally boring I am food-wise, so it was decided I should be forced to broaden my horizons a bit. Apparently that means eating Pho, so we found a Vietnamese restaurant in St. Louis to try, called Pho Grand. It was apparently […]

So The Blog Will Still Be Uninteresting For Awhile…

And after two days of emotional breakdown bullshit, I’m going mostly silent! Yay? Seriously, though, I’m picking up Aesa today. I need to sleep now so I can do that, as well as be awesome at my job interview tomorrow morning, and while he’s here, I’m just not going to be taking much time to […]
