I'm such a moron sometimes. Today I deleted 100 emails in one fell swoop outta my hotmail account. NOTE TO HOTMAIL USERS: Be careful not to check the box ABOVE the list of messages. It will highlight every message on the page that's displayed in your inbox. If you're like me, you've got a couple of those pages, each containing a hundred messages.

Goodbye, one hundred messages. I hope none of you were too important. I hope that there weren't too many valuable addresses, phone numbers, etc. that existed only on that page.

In other news, sigh, I'm tired and work is nuts. Why can't work be "tits"? Why does it have to be "nuts"?

I have nothing else interesting to report. Oh, wait, I had nasty falafel for lunch. The patties tasted like cornbread and the tahini tasted like mayo. Maybe this isn't such a bad thing, but I simply was not ready for it.

What have I been reading lately? About four different books, including T.C. Boyle's big-ass collection of stories (Thank you, Karl), Twain's Life on the Mississippi (yes I saw part of the PBS documentary but I had the book beforehand... just hadn't got around to it), and Stefan Fatsis' Word Freak, which documents the lives of competitive Scrabble players. Oh also I read Joan Morgan's When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost in an afternoon. Good book and not what I'd expected.
