List Serve Surprises

For one week out of every month I help run the list serve at Webster. This mean that when someone sends a mass e-mail to a Webster address that includes a list of e-mail addresses, such as our announcement list, I get to decide which e-mails get sent and which get trashed.

I function as a digital gatekeeper, so to speak. Mostly what I do is filter out spam and other junk e-mails. But every once in a while I will get very strange spam e-mails, like this one:

"OG in 1947 it's for you. Yes.

She should have died after I stuffed her head full of blank paper and busted pages, and I should have died then, too. The sounds of so many footfalls out there was Tightening, almost a profanation. He had GOTTEN AN IDEA. "Paul put his own spoon down. Don't tell me I'm crazy, there's something down there! Trouble was, the nasty thing had a way of escaping and coming back time after time, in one form or another. At first he had been able to work only in painfully short bursts?~W fifteen minutes, maybe half an hour if the story really demanded it of him. or Not"

Weird?

NYC Vacation

This was the scene right outside of my friend's apartment door in Brooklyn during the blizzard a few weeks ago in New York. When it was all said and done, I think they ended up with about 26 inches total. At the time, I was a little unnerved about catching my flight back home to St. Louis. But now I realize it's not every day that I get to witness a blizzard and am very greatful I got to live through one.

Aside from being snowed on, we did get a chance to partying at a very cool drinking establishment and saw an interesting exhibition on the human body.

And of course no trip with to New York would be complete without a photo outside of the Late Show with David Letterman:



Thanks again Ken and Tanner for letting me stay at your place. Later I will post some of my photos from Vegas.

Stranded

I am caught in a blizzard.

What seemed like a good weekend to visit a friend of mine in New York City also turned out to be a good weekend to get a foot of snow. My flight is canceled until tomorrow, so at least I get to hang out here in nyc for an extra day.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
