HALLO ELJAYLESS FRIENDSES!

Things are ... things. Some serious shit has gone down, but I can't talk about that. Otherwise, life is pretty damn good. Not so good for the guy outside our apartment who skidded on the sand (seriously, with the condition of our street, you'd think we lived down the shore), hit the curb, and popped a tire. We were sitting here when we heard this quiet-ish "pophisssshhhh" sound, so nate peeked out the window.

Also, Rob Thomas' new album is awesome, Buy it today.

I just took some people off my flist. With the whole letter/flist rat situation, it was necessary. Please don't take it personally if I removed you. I likely did it cause I didn't really know you. Again, sorry. One fucktard ruins it for everyone. :\

Hm, well apparently I have had a secret reader all this time and didn't know about it!

Frienditto bad.

You use, you tell, me unfriend. No hard feelings. Me likee control is all.

Cause this, my friends, is a win-win situation!

An ING Direct Orange Savings Account

Basically, it's a high-interest savings account without a brick-and-mortar bank. It's all insured and legit and stuff.

( Here's the ING schpiel explaining it )

And if anyone signs up, I get $10! Yay!

So if you're looking for a little rainy day fund, this is a good way to do it. You can set up automatic transfers from your existing checking account, or even do direct deposit from your paycheck. I have it set for $5/week, right now.

If anyone's interested, comment here with an email address and I'll send along a referral :)

If you want excitement, go driving a fucking Pontiac.

Wil posted about a movement to get GMail accounts in the hands of troops in Iraq. I was given a GMail account recently by teferi and have given out two of my invites. I intend to give the rest of mine to this cause. Right now it looks like the only way to go is with the gmail swap site, but a clearinghouse is being worked on. I know many of you have Gmail, so I wanted to give you the opportunity to participate if you so desire.

Gmail gives 1 gig of storage space, which is great for the troops to store pictures from home, and emails from loved ones. But it's invite only, so hopefully this effort will work in raising the morale of troops.

From a tenement window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner things got real quiet real fast
She hit me with a Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
And I'm all alone, I'm all alone
And kid you better get the picture
And I'm on my own, I'm on my own
And I can't go home

Friends Only.
