mamajoan: me in hammock (wtf)
You know what sucks about taking a nice hot shower on a cold winter day, is that eventually you have to get out. Why is life so unfaaaaaaair? Why can't I just stay in the nice hot shower till spring?

I'm amused by the fact that spammers seem to be catching on to LJ's popularity. I'm getting spam now with subject "Reply to your post" and "Reply to your comment."

Speaking of spam, I finally actually read (as opposed to just deleting) one of the new spams I've been getting, which supposedly want to sell you a drug to increase your ejaculation. ("You" being a guy, of course.) a little rant on this ... well, not really so much a rant as an amused/horrified ramble. With explicit lyrics. )

Man, that is some messed-up shit. But funny. Definitely funny. You gotta love spam, always good for a laugh.

In misc update news, the stroller in the parking space is working so far. It worked on Tuesday when I went to work, it worked yesterday morning when I dropped off Isaac at grandma's house and then again yesterday night when I went to pick him up again. I shoveled the space out some more, and also shoveled a new "doorway" in the wall of snow lining our sidewalk, because I was tired of having to go halfway down the block just to cross the street. That was fun, whee. Also my co-homeowner Brian emailed that he's going to be away this weekend through Tuesday, so if it snows again, I'll have to shovel our sidewalk. Man, how badly do I want it to NOT snow again?

My mom's friend the tax preparer guy emailed that he's crazy busy and wouldn't be able to do my taxes till after April 15th, if I get an extension. :( Guess I'll be doing them myself. sigh. ah well.

Jan. 27, 2005 | WASHINGTON -- Most patients at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington have a lot on their minds: the war they just fought, the injuries they came home with, the future that lies ahead. The last thing a wounded soldier needs to worry about is where the next meal is coming from. But for hundreds of Walter Reed patients, that's a real concern. Starting this month, the Army has started making some wounded soldiers pay for the food they eat at the hospital.
