What to spend a paycheck on

Some of the most useful things invested in here:

1) bike!--not gettin anywhere fast without this
2) a wok--could eat stirfry every night of the week (and almost have this week)
3) library card--all sorts of music, movies, books, and who can live without those?!

That's really it. I'm sure other things are coming in handy, but these are the list toppers.

Classes were good for a Thursday. My MIA class is still MIA, but I'm not letting this bother me. Extra planning period. Had fun getting them all to write stories based off of random words I put on the board. Couple loud classes, and threatened several with office visits, but threats seem to do enough of the trick to get things settled down. Students need to quit being flirty though, it's weirding me out.

We watched "Swimming Pool" this evening; verrrry slow, was bordering on softcore porn/thriller until the last two minutes, then had a mind-blowing twist, became abstract for about two seconds, and ended. I still don't get it. Aaah French films.
