Heh. The I Can Haz Cheezburger? book made the NYT Bestseller List. (Though under "advice"? Ooookay.)
Speaking of LOLcats, my teaching of them went off...well, it almost didn't, because I ran out of time. So we briefly detoured to LOLcats before class was over. C'est la vie. I was seriously worried about running out of things to do and having half an hour leftover, so I was utterly shocked to find it was 8:45 and we hadn't even hit the last activity. Other than that, it was...okay? Not as awe-inspiring as I'd hoped, but I didn't crash and burn and the instructor didn't have to step in, so given that it was my first time in front of a classroom, I had to fill up fifty minutes, and the chapter we were doing was really quite boring, I'll count it as a win. (It was on evaluations. Whoop-de-do. I think the kids enjoyed analyzing Amazon user reviews of their textbook, though; the negative ones especially seemed to be a bit cathartic.)
