Oh, My desk! I was shocked to see my desk covered in straws when I came in to work today. It seems as though I was pranked. To be fair, I pranked a coworker earlier in the week by surrounding his desk in pylons. While I was out teaching a special lecture, the office got … Read More

Barking at Ping Pong Players Yesterday I talked about trash talking and how much I love participating in it. As a follow up, people are now leaving straws on each other’s desks (see previous post). However, my bark is bigger than my bite. I am not great at backing up my words. Quite frankly, I … Read More
Board Game Trash Talk I don’t care about winning, but I love trash talking. It usually works better when you are winning though. I like the creativity of trash talking and the manipulation of language. I discovered my love of trash talking while playing basketball in high school with my friends. It was a way … Read More
Jeonju with an R5 This past weekend, I got to try out my new camera. My friends and I went to Jeonju Hanok Village and traditional market. There was a lot to take pictures of and film there. Last night I finished editing the video and it is so much better than the last camera. … Read More
