I have this thing I'm doing, where I have the students call me on the telephone (or pretend to), and try to sell me something. You know, training the world's future telemarketers, and all that.
So my student Lainy just tried to sell me a robot bee, which was conveniently (and temptingly) named Jared-bee. I immediately placed an order for 100, since they were only 80 cents a piece. I did this, despite the fact that the operation and/or functionality of the robot bee was not entirely clear... although honey definitely played into it somehow - useful for sweetening rice cakes, she said.
The weather has definitely warmed up a bit, and there are occasionally puffy clouds with cobalt-colored undersides that float around. Still below freezing at night, however. But spring seems to be getting ready to spring.
At this moment, I've prepared some ramyeon with added vegetables - cabbage, tomatoes and broccoli, and with an egg poached into it, for dinner. And I'm watching tv, where I just saw a bearded man reach into his pants and pull out a piece of pizza. Isn't television amazing?
Here is a picture I took about a week ago on my cell phone, of a snowy street I about 2/3 of the way to work, walking from my home.
