Rebecca's posting from a new computer chair.

Rebecca hasn't updated this in a good while. I kept meaning to, but I had to work a lot this week, and I'm working even more next week because two of my co-workers just quit or got fired. I don't which because I don't get involved in the drama, but the circumstances of their leaving were suspicious. I don't particularly have much to post about, anyway.

Sara and I watched the Oscars together on Sunday night. Entertainment Weekly seems to always complain about how they're too long and boring and the declining viewership is crippling the film industry, but I always enjoy them. One of the best parts this year was Philippe Petit, who accepted for Man on Wire by making a coin disappear and thanking the Academy for "believing in magic," then balancing his Oscar statue on his face. Only the French! And I couldn't stop laughing at Sophia Loren -- or rather, Sophia Loren's re-animated corpse, who helped to present Best Actress with one bizarre pose and one freaky facial expression. There were also two young actresses at the ceremony this year, and though I'm not a fan of one of them (Miley Cyrus) and know nothing about the other one (Rubina Ali), they both went straight into my album of Young Actresses at the Oscars.

Is it wrong that most of my employee-of-the-month bonus went right back to my own store? On Thursday I used a good part of it to buy some anti-virus software and other stuff, and that night I stayed up too late downloading the anti-virus software, then LimeWire, then iTunes. And then, finally, I updated my iPod! I haven't been able to do this in months! I had to erase all my 100+ songs and completely resync it to a new library (it had been synced with my old library on Mom's computer), but I was so happy to get some new music on it that I didn't care. Today I went for a nice long bike ride and listened to it and felt great. I was able to collect a lot of cans that had been left on the ground from Mardi Gras.

I had two very weird exchanges with customers at work Friday morning. First I met the current French teacher at my old elementary school, and we had a conversation in French, which was cool. (Even though I used tu instead of vous! At least she was American, so she probably wasn't offended.) Then I met a guy who works with my older brother and described him as, and I quote, "probably my best friend." I just stared at him. Freaky.

Rubina Ali was in Slumdog Millionaire which is a very graphic movie about two brothers and a girl (all orphaned in the movie) in their plight to get out of the slums. It's a very good movie. The sad thing is 2 out of the 3 actors live in the slums but in part it's to protect them from gangs and/or the parents abusing the situation.

Also I could of gotten you free antivirus legally and even with antivirus limewire will infect your computer since by installing it you agreed to their terms.

Лантан-фторидный аккумулятор — очень мощный химический источник тока с твёрдым электролитом.
Одной из важнейших особенностей серебряно-цинкового аккумулятора является способность (при надлежащей конструкции) отдавать в нагрузку токи колоссальной силы (до 50 Ампер на 1 Ампер·час емкости).
