  1. I'm glad that I decided to tune in and watch the second half of Wolves v Coventry. What a great game!
  2. A couple of months ago, a student told me that Arsenal have the 4:16 curse. They can't get above 4th place in the league and can't get past the round of 16 in the champions league. That "curse" is now broken.
  3. NBC's Thursday night Must See TV was at it's best when it was The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, and Night Court. Sorry for the threadjack but I never understood why Friends became so popular.
  4. Another bad result for the USA women's team, 2-0 loss to Mexico. They finish in 2nd place in their group in the CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup.
  5. Arsenal need to stop conceding last-minute goals. Also, I'd like to see Arsenal use a two goalkeeper system like Wenger had. Raya starts the league games on the weekends, and Ramsdale starts the midweek games.
  6. Just an intriguing quote that's stuck in my head at the moment, from the book that I'm currently reading: "Here's a thing I believe about people my age: we are the children of Hogwarts, and more than anything, we just want to be sorted." -- Sourdough, by Robin Sloan
  7. I just finished this one and had the same opinion. It was good but not as good as the original. I'm glad Baldree stated in the acknowledgements that he didn't initially plan to write a sequel when he started to write his second book. Next, I plan to read Sourdough by Robin Sloan.
  8. We got some snow last night, not a lot but enough to make everyone drive very slowly during the morning commute.
  9. And it's over. India win by 434 runs.
  10. At this rate, England might be out before the end of the day.
  11. Today is Spring Festival. 新年快乐! I hope everyone is happy and healthy in the year of the dragon.
  12. The other teachers in my department are all 30-35 y/o, so there's some possibility that they could have seen X-Men: The Animated Series. Regardless, I'm planning to take them to see Deadpool 3 when it comes out, so they can see how Wolverine is supposed to look.
  13. As a teacher, I fully understand that there’s going to be a generation gap between my students and me. But, recently, my coworkers have been grinding my gears because they too are making me feel old. If we are in the lunch room talking about learning how to use chopsticks and I say, “Later, I’ll show you how to catch flies like in The Karate Kid,” don’t say “Jackie Chan didn’t do that in that movie.” Also, please don’t say ridiculous things like, “Everything I know about Star Trek I learned while watching Sheldon on Big Bang Theory.” And most importantly, after seeing the cool cartoon that I have in my cubicle of Wolverine (dressed in yellow, blue, and black) playing chess, never ever fucking ask me, “Why doesn’t he look like Huge Jackman?”
  14. I recently watched Poker Face, which was a lot better than I expected. I just finished a docuseries on Netflix called Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators. For me, it was nostalgic fun as American Gladiators was one of my favorite shows back when I was in high school.
  15. I personally grew to enjoy those cheesy murals on the first three paperbacks. I remember being extremely disappointed at the bookstore when I bought AFfC. The bird drawing on a red background looked so bland. Why not stay with the original cover artist, Stephen Youll?
  16. As Ms. Teng told me several years ago, “If you follow the Chinese men’s national team, all you’ll get is disappointment.”
  17. I hope everyone is watching this Nuggets - 76ers game.
  18. Recently, a trailer was released for season 2, which will start on Feb 8th.
  19. I was extra busy this semester, so I'm really looking forward to a slow-placed, stress-free winter break, which started today.
