Just an FYI: I won't be the one organizing it this year. I haven't been really active on the Marsh lately, so I don't want to commit to something I might not follow up on. I hope someone else can take it over. Does it specifically need to be a mod who organizes it? TDM's Secret Santa is one of my favorite traditions - it brightens my whole month. That said I'll gladly organize it if it's the difference between the activity existing or not. Sorry for late response, I was out of the country. Nope, can be anyone really!

Tomorrow is parent teacher conferences, and as a result, there are no classes. Furthermore, as a music teacher, I have no parent teacher conference meetings, so I simply get to come to work and do whatever I want from 8:30-5pm. I’m gonna be editing and polishing up my CV and resume so that I can continue applying for jobs that can get me in Shanghai during the week. And I’ll probably watch a bit of football while I’m at it. Hahaha! There were a lot of incredible games this last week I want to see bits of. Today was my co-teacher’s last day, but at least I’ll still hang out with her weekly on Wednesday’s. Tonight we had hotpot, and of course she had me try eating some more unique things. Tonight wasn’t as unique as last wednesday’s eating sheep penis, but it was still fun and I had two bombers of cheap lager from Harbin while at it. I hate lagers, but sometimes it just feels like you gotta drink! And sometimes it just doesn’t matter if it isn’t a nice craft ale.

I showed up at a new students’ home today in Shanghai. Well, it’s two siblings. You know, apartments in China are generally quite small, and of course often very expensive. But this place...I couldn’t tell from the outside, but I went up to their 6th floor apartment and walked in and instantly felt shocked by the massive apartment they had, which I felt I could get lost inside if I walked around unaccompanied. Those parents must be loaded!
Also another thing that shocked me was that when they prepared me some flippers to walk on their floor, I pointed out that they were walking barefooted, and I asked “aren’t your feet cold?!” (Theirs, as well as most apartments in China, was hard flooring, which gets quite cold in the winter) Their response was, “Oh, no, we have heated flooring, so the floor isn’t cold at all!” I don’t know, maybe I’ve just not been around enough, but I was shocked, as I’ve never heard of such a thing... I saw some truly amazing things today...lol, although my wife said heated flooring is quite common in Shanghai nowadays. Crazy.
Also, chat box is killing this thread, I miss when this thread was active. If one could ever have called it that.

When I used to live on a farm back in the day, the back entryway had a heated concrete floor.

Hmmmmm Sonic Temple has another solid lineup, not as good as last year but worth making me wonder if I want to buy a ticket.

So stoked to be back in London for a couple of days tomorrow. Also going to see Fullham v Bristol (Bc Premier League tickets for Arsenal/Tottenham who are playing home this weekend are expensive as fuck) and do some shopping, drink a lot of beer and have fun with my friends

Anyone remember when Facebook groups were more like full-fledged forums? I remember way back when being part of one called “Better call AAA because here comes the breakdown!” That was a fun group. Back then I was all about deathcore and metalcore, even a little bit of hardcore. And I remember this metal elitist who invaded and shat all over everything and tried to ruin everyone’s fun. Although my tastes eventually evolved into similar with his, I hope nobody here feels I’m the elitist asshole like he was. Lol
