The lack of these things in my inbox is a testament to Google's spam filter, I should think (though when I check the spam box, it's all fake Rolexes and increase your something size, no pigeon drops). I love the Barrister's naivete, thinking I'd have a next of kin named Badger. Usually lawyers who use hotmail.com as their legal email are a bit more worldly and cynical than that.

Not much activity here for me lately, I've barely even been looking at my friends' posts. I blame society, but also my job (social networking sites blocked), my iPhone (facebook app = jewel, lj app = spoor), and my uncanny combination of weltschmerz and ennui. But if you neglect LiveJournal, you get paid back for it. And I did.

Most recent comment on my celebratory New Year's Day Rant is from badkitty23463, as follows:

Good post
Hello there, you write very good, I like your style.
Have you seen that the president is giving away grant money?
Here is the site you can get it at: Link deleted
I was able to get about 1,500$ in under a week (I earn 50k/yr, approximately)- keep up the good entries and comment me back

Um, no, I won't comment you back. And I got a similar comment from a "different" user, also ending in 5 digits, on a different antique post. I won't say I'm not tempted to help Barack and contribute to America's recovery... but aren't user names ending in 5 digits supposed to stay on xTube, where they belong?

In other news, I got the part in the play, and I got the part I wanted. They didn't let me read for the chicken farmer because they'd already decided to use me for that. I will also be the heroine's loving and heartbroken father. No racist banker! We start Sunday night with the first readthrough. You may not see me much for a while
