student fingers

Here's a promised photo from the previous semester (fall/winter 2014). I had asked the kids to give me the finger; some did it with a disconcerting amount of zeal while others were too shy and refused to shoot the bird at my camera.


So that's another thing off the to-do list. Scratch item 4.


2-DO LIST

1. A review of "Joe," starring Nicolas Cage.
2. A review of both "Tim's Vermeer" and "Jiro Dreams of Sushi."
3. A review of "Warrior," starring Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy, and Nick Nolte.
4. Photo of my students giving you the finger.
5. A review of Stephen R. Donaldson's The Last Dark.

7. A review of Bobcat Goldthwait's "God Bless America."

9. A long, long-promised review of "Oldboy."
10. A survey of student comments from my previous job.
11. A stupid dialogue with one clueless student.
12. A post that dishes (nothing too terrible) on a friend of mine.
13. A mopping-up post that dumps all the rest of the Pohang photos from last year.
14. A review of "The Lunchbox," starring Irrfan Khan.
15. A review of GRR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
