December 24th: student appreciation & Xmas Eve at the club
[ posted by mcdeviltoast ]
Day 98
If any doubts over my teaching or my students' appreciation had been cast by the newly christened apathy crew, they were vanquished in an onslaught of cards, gifts and cuteness today. In 1(7), they sprayed me with red and blue silly string, had a small tree for me, tons of cards, a snow globe. I was very touched.Throughout the lesson I pulled bits of string off me.
In the Pete/Jimmy/Simon class, I was given a round red disc hand warmer which they all must have chipped in for. We plugged it in before class and when the light went off, it was ready. I slipped it in the felt sleeve and walked around with it during the eye exercise. As I passed by, the students all reached out and felt it like it was the orb from Woody Allen's "Sleeper."
DJ Wishywashy surprised me today. Usually he changes his mind or just repeats whatever I say, but when I asked the class collectively if they were naughty or nice he was the only one who answered "Nice." His first moment of conviction. I laughed.
For dinner, we went to the hotel and Lindsey met us there. Afterwards we played cards for a while. I taught them 3-up 3-down, the official card game of Moab. We need another deck of cards for four people, though.
We then decided to go to the club in case Alen's big merry christmas party was that night. We caught a cab for two blocks and Lindsey went to her dorm to change pants while Matt and I ate dumplings.
When we got to the club, the bouncers at the gate insisted we pay the cover, which was $38. Fuck that. While we stood and debated that I should pay it, then go in and find the owner to get everyone else in, the owner came out and pulled us all through. He made a pantomime for me to go MC. This from the guy that stalker Linda said hated me. Someone's lying here.
The staff was all adorned in Santa hats, and all the people were walking around with a tiny stuffed Santa (thus the outrageous cover). Alen started playing nauseatng house remixes of Jingle Bells and such. We sat at our usual table and were joined by Sisi and Mao Tat, who we have learned two things about: His name is Thunder, and he is Sisi's brother. At one point, Thunder called over a girl who sat in my lap and kissed my cheek. He was trying to give me a prostitute. No sale.
Sisi kept calling out "Gam bei" (bottoms up) and the Suntory pitchers kept disappearing and replenishing. By the end of the evening, I was feeling a bit woozy. Erin and Matt bailed, but Lindsey and I were marched via Sisi to the restaurant of post-Reeb lore. Thunder ordered foodstuffs and Sisi kept pouring and saying "Gam bei." Finally I had to put a capper on my evening. I thanked Thunder, wished everyone a Merry Christmas (I think) and got up.

Lindsey and I walked back to her dorm and I drank some coffee to try and sober up for the walk home, but I ended up passing out.
