7-11, Wilson, mosquito bites, spam, email newsletters, pop-ups

It's 7-11 today... apparently, that means free Slurpees at 7-11 today. I might get one, even if it is kinda cloudy out. My brother used to get them when it was freezing outside, but eventually we all got used to that! Might get my shopping done today, then... I'll get AfterBite as well, as it turns out I had at least one mosquito bite during Conference weekend. (Nathan-inspired, indeed!) That reminds me of a discussion that Karen, Jen, and I had on Saturday night about the worst places to get mosquito bites: between the breasts, in your buttcrack, on the insides of your legs, on your butt... Karen's mom said you could get them on top of your head too. o_O

Apparently, my cousin Wilson is coming to town for a week starting tomorrow. I kinda heard about this recently, but didn't know it was so soon. If I spend any time with him, it'll be cool. :D

I haven't been getting my dose of Heroic Stories, News of the Weird, or This Is True lately. So I had to resubscribe to the first two services. (I can't resubscribe to the third, unfortunately... but I'll link to the current Weird column) Not sure where the lapse lies, but I'd better get it soon!

Why are popups invading my Mozilla experience now?! Blah!

Two things from my Trivia Today newsletter:

* In 1978 the first spam e-mail was dispatched to about 400 people on the Arpanet (Arpanet was designed for the Department of Defense and was a precursor to the current internet). It was a plug from a marketing representative at Digital Equipment Corporation for the new Decsystem-20 computer.

* SPIM? Better not send unsolicited instant messages. A young man became the first person arrested for spim (unsolicited instant messages) on February 21, 2005.

(I wonder why the last tidbit makes me think of a certain person, hahaha... wink!)
