I don’t know how it has happened, but somehow, EFL Geek slipped under the TEFL Logue radar. I believe I have mentioned the blog once or twice, (in fact I know I confused it with Geek In Korea once – different blog!), and even received comments from EFL Geek himself, but this is the post where the TEFL Logue says: cool site, sorry for not paying better attention, EFL Geek!
I must admit what drew my attention first was not his post about English Teacher, the movie, but his theme song choice. Here’s the question of the day: if you had a theme song, what would it be? The jury is out on mine but I promise to report back when I find a good one.
Weird Al aside, the posts run the gamut from amusing (see above) to thoughtful (English nicknames for students) to practical (life in Korea). You can get a good feel for the variety by having a look through the classic posts yourself.
Also available are forums and a wiki.
I learned from the bio that EFL Geek has been in Korea for a number of years, and made the transition from working at an owned-by-the-devil kids’ hagwon to the EFL teacher’s near-dream job of a university. I also learned that this and I have something very important in common: a fixation on coffee. Accodingly, I especially enjoyed the post where he mentions holding oral final exams in a Starbucks.
Check out the site for yourself and bookmark it.

Thanks for the praise. The starbucks post will move off of page eight in time so here is the permenant link
Permanent link updated. Coffee is no laughing matter and I need to keep the links current for future caffeine addicts! Thanks for the additional movie recommendation in your other comment as well.
Of course coffee is serious. I spend a good portion of my salary on coffee. Both starbucks and at a local micro-roaster for my homebrewing.
4-6 grandes a day is a serious habit, but I can\’t stop.
