"It's my special time of the month and I have such a high volume!" Student Presentation on Maxi Pads and Tampons
Today was the last of my finals so I'm done with work for the next week or two. As I previously explained, my students' final project was to pick a company to represent, then choose a couple new media/social network/blogging websites, and figure out how that company should utilized those sites to promote their products, connect with customers, etc. The sites they could choose from were Last.FM, Flickr, Twitter, Vimeo, Delicious, and Posterous.
This group had one of the most entertaining presentations, partly because Richard (the guy in the video) is the only guy in the class of 22 students and the girls in his group choose to represent a company that makes feminine hygiene products. In this video, Richard shows the class how tampons and maxi pads work.
His point was that to do a demo like this over and over again in many different places would cost the company money, so why not just make a video of it and put it on Posterous? A good idea, indeed.
The other members of the group had some hilarious lines in the presentation: at one point someone said tampons were "for indoor use" and soon after I stopped taking video on my phone Sally (the girl in the video) said "It's my special time of the month and I have such a high volume!" Hilarious. This group will definitely get a good grade.
Sorry about the quality of the video, its from my phone, you get the idea though.

Music Monday: Ol' Dirty Bastard "Nigga Please"
Michael Jackson's death last week didn't really make me sad, think about how great Thriller was, or forget that he'd been completely insane for the past 15 years. It inspired me to queue up some music from a deceased artist that I actually appreciated and miss dearly: Russell "Ol' Dirty Bastard" Jones AKA Big Baby Jesus AKA Dirt McGirt AKA Dirt Dog AKA Ason Unique AKA The Man of All Rainbows AKA Prince Delight AKA Dirk Hardpec AKA Big Box o' Chili... (the list goes on and on). 1999's Nigga Please is one of my favorite albums of all time. It sounds like a drunk homeless man broke into a recording studio. It sounds perfect. I'm pretty sure I know all the lyrics by heart from driving around with my friends in high school and yelling them out the window at people we passed by.
"Just dance if you caught up in the holy ghost trance / if you stop i'ma put them killah ants in your pants / I'm the ODB as you can see / FBI don't you be watchin' me"

Quarantine Post 7: Diana F+ Photos
Some leftover Diana F+ pictures from traveling around Shenyang with my mom.
Some evidence today that I'm teaching my students how to be awesome like me:
Student 1: How many girlfriends have you had?
Me: Three.
Student 2: How many of them were female?
I've got to teach them to say "Kelly Rrrrripa!" when they zing me like that.

Quarantine Post 6: The End
After constantly bitching and complaining before my quarantine, I actually ended up enjoying it. Really the only negative thing about all of this is that for the first time in weeks, the weather was actually nice, but I had to stay indoors. Other than feeling like Desmond from Lost, I had a good time; I ate healthy, logged over 40km on my exercise bike, and got a tiny bit a reading done (though not nearly as much as I planned). The biggest accomplishment of the whole thing was the amount of TV that I watched.
Check it:
5 episodes of The Office
4 episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
10 episodes of Scrubs
Season 7 of 24
Starsky and Hutch
The Hurt Locker

Nine Inch Nails: Beside You in Time
I actually watched season seven of the TV show 24 in less than 48 hours. Now that's a successful quarantine.

Music Monday: The Gossip "Music For Men"
I've been a fan of the Olympia, Washington art-punk-soul-dance band The Gossip since 2002's "Arkansas Heat" EP and after almost 10 years as a group, they're finally going to get the respect they deserve with "Music for Men". Produced by hit-maker / best-beard-contest-winner Rick Rubin, who's golden touch has caressed everything from Jay-Z to Slayer to Johnny Cash to The Mars Volta (and even the South Park Chef Aid album), "Music for Men" is The Gossip's cleanest and most accessible release to date without straying too far from the gritty, garage-rock-soul sound that set them apart to begin with. Definitely one of the best albums of 2009 so far.
