Who stole the tofu?

Not one of my students, I hope?
MSU “tofu heist”

I’d buy that!

In my spambox, I recently got this comment from FlexAnoke reading: sexy strip tease college fight song cat toy.

Delightful and in poor taste.

Trivialities.

Here’s something interesting but useless: a partial list of people who have the same birthday as I do.

St. Thomas Aquinas, Jose Marti, Sarah McLaughlin, Colette, the Birdman of Alcatraz, Nicholas Sarkozy and members of both N’Sync and the Backstreet Boys.

That’s my hometown!

Another great story out of Buffalo (well, nearby…):

Restaurant closed after dead deer found in kitchen

The best line from the article: Officials don’t know whether the deer had been killed by a hunter or a vehicle.

Sad brokers.

Brokers with hands on their faces.

For those of you with a little time on your hands:

Michigan quote:

Speakers: Two guys walking down Grand River Ave.

Guy 1: Something smells like greasy food and whore.

Guy 2: I could go for some greasy food right now!

The Shining, as romantic comedy.

A re-cut movie trailer, pointed out by my old classmate Nathan Carroll.

Would you call it a stylus?  He uses it for writing braille.

I have a classmate this semester who is Russian and blind.  He makes his way around campus with the use of a cane, and uses this little stylus to take notes.  It’s pretty impressive to come from the other side of the planet on your own, being unable to see.

Feeling mopey.

I’m going through another period of feeling depressed.  I think these are linked to my period lately.  I’m also sort of upset about my classes — it turns out that I’ve assigned less than half the written work of other people.  I was told I don’t have enough grades for my students, although I was never told exactly how many assignments I was supposed to be giving.

I really feel I’m more confused than other people.  Or am I?  Anyway, I feel humiliated that I’ve been doing things wrong.

I’m hoping these bad feelings will pass.

D’oh~!

Bad fashion statements.

Friday, October 10th, 2008

I was riding the 25 bus today and a white man got on wearing a fake-looking, shiny Afro wig.  It wasn’t a big Afro — it was pretty short, but yet it looked like it had been pulled onto his head like a bathing cap.  Even more strangely, this guy also had what looked like a fake Hitler mustache.  It wasn’t the tiny square Hitler one, more like the “double-wide” version of it he had sometime.  I could not figure out why anyone would ever wear that, or if it was his real mustache, cut it that way.  And just in time for Yom Kippur!
