New Features!

I set up a phone card for myself that also allows folks to leave voice messages. To do so from the United States dial the access number 1-800-706-1333 (only from the 48 continental), press ” * “, then press ” 2 “. After that, you must enter my mailbox number 1057679121, then press ” # “. Once you’ve done that, you’re in like Flynn.

The Mormon Sisters are after me again. Somehow they got my new number, somehow they dialed it, and somehow the higher-ups are now after me, not just the silly missionaries. The Higher-up told me she’s very excited to meet me, etc., and asked when I’m free. Somehow I told her Wednesday, and somehow they are going to appear at the apartment door around seven p.m. Wednesday evening. Alas! I’m not even in the cult and it’s still impossible to escape their clutches. If anyone wants to hangout at my apartment at 7 p.m. on Wednesday evening, that would be great. My roommate and I would appreciate any help we can get. I’m going to convert these wackos yet. Actually, I’m pretty sure that our apartment is going to freak them out. Not that our apartment is scary or anything, but these are creepy and silly Mormon girls, they probably get scared of anything. Perhaps the poster of Nick Cave will send them screaming and running from the premises.

In other dire news: My roommate found out today in a hurried e-mail from her dear mother that her younger brother, Andy, was rather drunk (lastnight?) and fell sixty-five feet out of a tree and broke his neck. He’s currently in the hospital in Milwaukee. That’s all we know. Prayers are much appreciated.

E-mail of this morning. I really wonder if anyone ever gets scammed by these things, I mean, obviously, someone must, otherwise the scammers would throw the towel in, yes? This one has a very strange narrative voise:

Are you continually amazed by the stupidity of others?
Do you chuckle at your coworkers and friends as they
make stupid financial choices?
Heres another reason to laugh at them..!
I want to tell you about this site where you can
refinance your mortgage and save thousands and THOUSANDS
of big dollars!
Look at these dollar signs! -> $$$$$$$$$$$$
Check it out, its AMAZING. Basically you fill out a
quick 60 second form, and your application is checked
against over two thousand different lenders up-to-the
minute offers!
We spent almost $200,000 building this system!
Your automatically given the best deal, and that lender
contacts you and the ball gets rolling immediately.
Don’t be a sucker like your friends, refinance, and
use the money you save to buy more shiny looking crap!
Wow I was getting so excited I almost forgot to include
the link to my site!

Some days, when I haven’t read any novels for a while, I consume one as quickly as I can. It tastes like honey going down, but when I am done, it is wormwood in my stomach. Today, between classes and after school (a total of 4 hours reading time), I devoured John le Carre’s The Constant Gardner. I liked it better than The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. The end seemed a little sloppy though. Chapter twentythree seemed to be written by a completely different author. Maybe le Carre was drunk. I dunno. Anyway, now that I am done, I am bored. I have no more energy, so I am blogging. I hope that listening to some Bechtel will restore my flagging esprits. Ah, I know what will do the trick. Kebab. Doener kebab. J’aime les kebabs! Viva le kebab!
