I bet your students would be interested, too.
Me too!
I wonder if they are easily available in your neck of the planet.
I'm going to go with a no.
However, my friend is visiting from the UK in 2 weeks' time. If I can find them in the UK, it might be doable...
Meanwhile, this evening my friend Steve (my fellow geek at school, who's going to be leaving Thailand with his wife & awesome daughter in a couple of weeks to take up a post in the Philippines, sadly) and his lovely wife & daughter took me out for dinner, to say thank you for teaching said daughter. (Who is an absolute DOLL. And Steve's busily training her up to be a geek. A pretty, girly, Barbie-loving, sporty kind of geek. She's a big
Doctor Who
fan now, thanks to me, and he's raising her on
Star Wars
and all that malarky. It's v. cute.) Anyway, in addition to a TOTALLY SCRUMPTIOUS Thai dinner in a fab little village-style restaurant with Thai band & dancers, my evening included my first introduction to the Wii.
...yeah. I know what I'm getting myself for my birthday now, and it's NOT an iPhone after all. This is a much better idea.
The electricians are still here. I don't really want to pack while they're here. I'm paranoid like that.
Oh, yeah. I totally get that, sj.
I'm out at the house where I'm house sitting. I can't wait to jump in the pool! Although, four dogs are A LOT of dogs together. Fortunately, one of them is going home on Thursday. Three will be more manageable...especially since it's those three that know each other really well.
They just left! They were here for four hours, but they fixed everything that needed fixing, so I'm not going to complain.
MM, can you email me your mailing address. Thanks.
Speech outline completed. Now I need to make my two notecards that are allowable and practice B.S.-ing for 5-6 minutes.
Cashmere, I've now got Cherise the Niece on hold at B&N for me to pick up tomorrow--thanks for the rec! It looks like fun, and can sit on my bookshelf next to my collection of Charles Addams cartoons.
They prolly make a beach version of Scrabble.
Heh. Yeah, I have travel scrabble, but two scrabble dates in a row? That's kinda obsessive.
They were here for four hours, but they fixed everything that needed fixing, so I'm not going to complain.
Yay! Yay fixing things!!
Three will be more manageable...
For a second, VW, I read this as "THREE MORE", as in you'd have SEVEN dogs, and was like "OMG!"

Oh, goodness, no! I mean, we thought about bringing my parents' dog over, but I said five was officially too many. They're being pretty good, though. When they get crazy, we send them to the back yard to work it out.
So, um, my friend has trashy afternoon television on. Wow, I haven't watched these courtroom tv shows in AGES. They are so pathetically hysterical!
