odd.

So I signed up with Livemocha.com which is a language learning site. You can take some classes online. I may have stepped into some quicksand though. I get quite a few requests to "grade" people on their English. So far, I have graded about 10 people and most of those are Chinese people (and oddly enough the others were mostly Brazilian). Most are "female". I say "female" because as of 10 years ago there were 3 types of people on the Internet: Males, Males claiming to be females, and FBI agents posing as 13 year old females. I'm sure that has changed by now but I still don't trust anyone on the Internet that I don't know personally. I think it's going to turn out to be more of a hassle than a help as I didn't realize that I was supposed to grade people when I signed up. Oh well... It will be nice to help people out. However the "female" that I was talking to from "China" said that she wanted a foreign boyfriend. Good luck with that. I got out of that conversation quickly. I really don't want to end up arrested or with another woman (can't keep up with the one I have!). So I think I'll withdraw from the website.

Still haven't called Bill Filsinger about my desk! I am having a hard time keeping my head above water with everything that is going on around here.

On my health front, back is going in and out. Not sure if I'm doing well or bad. It does fine for awhile but yesterday driving to Scammon, it hurt most of the way over there. Chiropractor appointment tonight.

Bought me a new movie from Amazon.com called Waterloo. It's a Russian movie but it's supposed to be the classic movie about Waterloo. Not sure when I'll get to see it as every night is jamb packed. Another great Waterloo movie is called Sharpe's Waterloo and is historical fiction. Miranda is obviously looking forward to seeing it also. Yes, that was sarcasm. She'd rather watch paint dry, but she humors me.
