I’m not really sure why, but I’ve been getting a lot of spam comments lately. For the most part, I’ll pretend to scroll through the list of comments for moderation, but really, I just mark them all spam and move on. They’re usually ads for prescription meds or gambling.
Today’s comments? A little different:
“alien sex”
followed by
“alien sex quotes”
Right…
Adding to my list of things that I like about ING Look Whos Talking film … I opened a checking account with them and just got my ATM card in the mail. In order to activate it, all I had to do was log in to my account and activate it with the secret info that came in the mail. I didn’t have to call a number from a specific phone/during certain hours or talk to a human or anything! Yay ING!

Ok, so over the past 5 (…10?) years I’ve signed up for pretty much all the big social networking sites that I came across. SixDegrees, Friendster, MySpace, Orkut, LinkedIn…
Over the last few years or so, basically since I graduated, these have mostly lost their appeal for me. I thought Orkut was cool on the sole basis of the Google affiliation. I got a MySpace account to read other people’s blogs. I’ve never even bothered to fill in my profile.
When all the newbies started at work last year, there was this big fuss about facebook and how everyone had an account and I should totally
get one. I was unimpressed and uninterested, so I didn’t bother. After the VT shootings, I was looking for some of my old classmates. A bunch of them, I email every once in a while, so I still have some contact info for them. And I transfer their phone numbers with each new cell phone. But it’s not like I talk to them often or regularly. I kind of do the IM away message stalking thing.
Anyway, I signed up for a facebook account and looked for people I knew. Within 12 hours or so, I got found by a few former classmates. And 2 weeks later, I’m, again, wondering what all the hype is. The night I signed up, I spent about an hour poking around looking for people. Then I looked again a few days later when I received my first post on my wall.
I just thought of it today, so I went to see if anything had changed. It hadn’t. I went to browse groups and on the first page, found Adderalics Anonymous – VT Chapter
. *gasp* That was something I could relate to! How exciting for me. Then, I clicked on it to view more and … it’s mostly a bunch of people looking for a dealer.
“I’m out :(”
“If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. willing to pay $$”
Ohh, two dollar signs. Is that like the in restaurant reviews? Should I hold out for $$$?
“what the biggest single dose you’ve ever taken?”
Sigh… Kids these days…
I think I’m getting old. Or maybe I’m just cranky. I just clicked on “Students Against the International Astronomical Union” and it made me laugh.
In 2006, The IAU stripped Pluto of its status as a planet. We will not stand for such an outrage.
PLUTO
1930-2006
At -382 degrees farenheit, it really is the coolest planet in the solar system.That’s right, I said PLANET.
Poor Pluto.

There are some days I get completely overwhelmed. Too many things to do, too many places to be, too many obligations…
Today has been very much one of those days. And for some reason, I don’t know why making lists help me. I have an 11″x17″ piece of paper folded in 4 columns grouping my different tasks and then prioritizing them, with contact info and references on the back… and I *had* to use this size paper because I was consolidating 4 sheets of 3-column to do lists that I just kept restarting or adding to without getting anything done.
Things of note:
- Wedding present to mail – attended wedding 9 months ago
- Life insurance form – filled out, addressed, and stamped 5 months ago
- Get/install curtains – 18 months
- Put hubcap on my car – 28 months
- Find a new doctor and transfer medical files so I don’t have to drive 20 miles to my old dr every time I get sick – 6 months (And NewGirl sent me the info for her doctor’s office, which is close by, covered by our insurance, etc… so it’s not like I even need to do the finding part.)
- Watch second half of Blood Diamond… already in DVD player – 2.5 weeks
- Brush hair – 1 week

On the one hand, I’m kind of sad about missing out on the 12:34 5/6/07 date… but I’m fairly certain I would be about a week past having started a nervous breakdown at this point anyway.
