To wit:

OMG. I particularly liked James Dean. And Joan of Arc....

Somehow, I hear them in my head read in a Jack Handey/ Tom Bodett kind of voice.

So, instead of the Voice of God, you're hearing the Voice of Tom Bodett?

Just imagine how different world history would be if Moses, Abraham, Jesus, and Mohammed had heard Tom Bodett.

...we'll leave the light on for you....

somehow, that makes sense in a strange sort of way....

LOL

Which reminds me, where are those CDs you were going to burn for me? Shall I keep an eye out for a Christmas ?

oh sh*%*! I completely forgot....soon...I promise. I have enough time on my hands. I am writing myself a note right now.....

and there, it's posted on my to do board, ready to go. So maybe now I will remember!

AIM isn't doable from my computer. The network won't let me do it.

That's why you should have downloaded it while you were still residing in Montana, you silly goose. Anywho, do you remember what CDs I wanted? 'Cause I sure can't.

yes, I remember. And it's not that I can't download it, I can. I just can't USE it. I tried, and it pops up with this message that says "UCI ResNet users please note that chats (something) are not accessible from ethernet connections". So there you go.
