just a few more weeks

I'm getting that shoulder and hip pain I get from sitting at a desk too long grading and using the mouse. I'm lucky that it didn't show up until the end of the semester, but I have a stack a papers to grade for each class. Ugh. My plans for the long weekend include a trial of Hulu Plus and catching up on tv shows and finishing a book review. The papers are not part of the plans, which means finishing 2 sets tomorrow or leaving all of them in my office until next week (I hadn't planned on grading the 3rd set until next week anyway). Again, I say ugh.

Also, I don't get Minecraft Lego. My nephew wants it (holy crap! when did he become old enough to want Minecraft Lego!?). Minecraft is virtual Lego. So Minecraft Lego is exactly like regular Lego only with the Minecraft logo? But what do I know. I wanted toys from cartoons when I was his age (Get-Along Gang, Shirt Tales, Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, He-Man and She-Ra, Transformers, Jem & the Holograms, Monchichis, My Little Pony--so many tv toys). Ah the 80s, when tv shows were created specifically to launch toys. And then we grow up and Michael Bay explodes them.

I Check My Spam Folder

It's 2014 and spammers still think I'm a man with a tiny penis. It's just offensive at this point that they don't target marks more precisely. Apparently, I also want to hook up with desperate co-eds on Facebook (as if college students even use Facebook anymore) and need medical intervention to make it possible.

Who falls for this crap anymore? Can there really be a big enough return on the spam to warrant sending it? Has anyone ever done a study about how/why spam seems to be almost entirely targeted at men?
