By popular demand, I am posting something. I have two jobs. I am a full time instructor at UK (3 classes) and will be a teacher at Kaplan, where they teach you how to take tests. I have to retake the ACT, which is a little scary; I've set the bar too high for myself, that being the only test that I scored higher than all my friends on. I will make a lot of money over the next four months. I finally have a copy of the journal I am published in, although my byline says I'm from the University of Minnesota. I sent another paper off to be published. Anyhow, this is not interesting because I don't really do much these days, being unemployed. Here is the schedule of an average Wednesday:
7:00: Wake up, feed cats, make John lunch, feed cats his yogurt.
7:50: Go back to bed
9:00 Wake up, rewatch General Hospital if I did not pay attention the day before. Do dishes, laundry, clean.
10:00 Clean random piles of stuff
11:00 Go to the pool
12:00 Play a video game, these days NCAA Football
2:00 Start playing Battlefield
3:00 Watch General Hospital while playing Battlefield. Its extremely good these days, you should watch it. Good enough for me to go back on my vow that I would never watch the show again if they brought Robin Scorpio back.
5:00 John gets home. Debate about what to eat
6:00 Normally, we would go to the softball game, but now softball is over as of last week, so I don't know what will go in this spot. Even though John's team was in last place in the league, they made it to the championship game. It was fun times.
9:00 Get home from softball (if we're lucky). Watch So you think you can dance. Rewind and watch most of it again.
10:00 Random activities, usually watching 24.
12:00 Go to bed.
Sometimes I spice this up by going to the store or post office. I also make some attempts to play with the cats, but they're usually pretty grumpy in the afternoon, and they're too full to play in the morning.
Hong Kong Pictures (from the first two days we were there. Never got around to posting the rest). http://www.flickr.com/photos/plasticora
If there's a picture, and you don't understand why we would have taken it, look for the hidden 7/11. There are literally 7/11s on every block in Hong Kong. I once saw two of them on the same floor of a shopping mall-type area. The plan was to take pictures of all the 7/11s we saw, but if we had, we wouldn't have had time to see anything else.
Also, the picture of the steps is representative of the endless number of steps in Hong Kong. They have things they call streets that are just 7 or 8 blocks of steps that look just like that picture.
I would say in retrospect, don't go to Hong Kong in the summer. I now understand why its a bad idea to fight a land war in Asia. But it is a nice place to see.
