I have definitely used the phrase “Sisyphean task” to describe many things I’ve had to do, time and again, because people either fail to learn, or because I must impart a given lesson to a new crop of students each term.

...it may just be one of my favorite myths specifically for the reason that it allows me to talk… Read more

DBZ is from the 90s. Scooby-Doo is as old as the freakin’ moon landing. Kids bouncing this meme back and forth shouldn’t make me feel old. Read more

I organize my Steam games into lists, which is kind of a game unto itself. Read more
