Events in real life currently have me wanting to stick my head in a vise and twist the crank real hard.

In other news, it's been one day since I registered my new, nineteen-letter email address (see it in all its glory at the right), and I am happy to report that I have not gotten a single piece of spam. Not a one. (Knock on wood, of course.) By way of contrast, the four-letter address I was using previously started getting spam immediately upon registration. It happened so quickly, I got email whiplash, if such a thing exists. And if it doesn't, well, I just made it up.
