Writing Successes: Another installment of the Scrolls went up yesterday, and I titled the next section. I thought it might bring a sense of "anticipation" if I wrote what the next name was going to be. Also made my choices for TC's next issue. Good on me. Next: Mari's comments.

Music Playing: KISN, the oldies station. I mean about 1950-1970. "Twist" and Elvis and The Mama's & Papa's. That kind of thing.

Okay, so I did send off an email to Lance & his wife. I used the "reply" to return it to the email that sent it. About 10 minutes later, he calls on the phone to say he's sending an email about it. Basically, he knows it's a hoax (he does work for Microsoft) but maybe his wife sent it. Can I send her that same email?

So I send off my email. I explain how I sent it to Ric first, apparently by mistake. Which leads me to think that if I made that kind of error, maybe she did. I dunno. But I'm starting to feel like a louse.

She emails me back saying she didn't send any such thing. Perhaps someone hacked into their hotmail account and sent this. Would I please send the original? Well, I've deleted that by now, but I send what I do have anyhow. Haven't heard anything this morning.

Not that "hacking" an email, especially a hotmail, account would be hard, but I don't think that's what happened here. Seems terribly unlikely. Seems like more passive-agressive bs. I don't care anymore. I mean, it isn't worth THIS much trouble. It wasn't about the email anyhow. And if they (whichever of them did send it) can't own it, that's their problem. I confronted mine.

In other news...quite literally...have you noticed that everyone changes the subject if you want to talk about Bush & Iraq? Just wondered if that was only me. "I don't want to talk about that," is a big theme about this issue. I just find it mildly amusing.

I think I'll save this rant about Valentine's Day for tomorrow. ;) I have one, never fear.

Still reading LOTR, Fellowship. Still bored. How do you people read this many times a year? I made it to half-way, but it's a struggle and a half. I'd much rather pick up this copy of "Merrick" that Kou handed me weeks ago. I'd be done with it by now. I just don't get it.

Well, back to the archives. This hour a day thing is working out great. I'm not only getting it done, I'm interested in getting it done. I feel like I'm just sitting here wasting time if it's not going in the background. Heh. Maybe it'll jump start me to write something of my own some year. LOL
