It makes me jubilant when you spoil yourself and don luxurious items Robin. Um, don't click the link, that would not make me jubilant.

I'm jubilant already, just at the thought of the luxurious items at economical prices, honestly.

I get the text/email thing, too -- texting is in your pants! If you see what I'm saying. I think it's "generational," too -- it's noticable even among people just like five years younger than me that they use texting a lot more than I do.

Is anyone else watching Flavor of Love? It is utterly ridic, but I love it. The contestants are hysterical. And Flav-- oh, Flav.

tommy, are your eyes any better, after the strain of the other day?

Robin, that's the cutest spam I've ever read.

I was informed the other day of a college guy's hierarchy of communications intimacy. He rated e-mail as less intimate than text messaging, and phone calls more than both. I know it's folly to quantify these things, but he presented it as common university knowledge. It surprised me, because I figure e-mail is more intimate than texting.

I can see what you mean, because you can give more thought to, and spend more time on an e-mail. As far as the mediums are concerned though, I understand his point. Maybe I'm even a case in point. I never text message. I got rid of all IM programs, because it required too much immediate attention and contact. E-mail is less intrusive.

I deserve to don luxurious items. Don't we all?

Is that similar to donning one's gay apparel?

Yes, thank you. That was pretty much just half a day of eye weirdness.

I impulse-bought a Bluetooth dongle for my computers. Now I just have to figure out how to get it to talk to my Palm Zire....

they use texting a lot more than I do

What do you use when they'd be texting? Do you call, or do you e-mail?

I have a couple friends for whom texting is one of the primary methods of communication. Mostly I don't. It's very rare that I'm in a position to text when I'm not also in a position to e-mail. Cool thing about the Treo/Blackberry/etc people (of whom I'm not one) is that if they can receive a text message on their person, they can also receive e-mails. I likes me some e-mail. I can barely walk past one of my computers at home and not notice if anything's come in. And when I get bored and I'm out, I check it then too.

Man, I took a bunch of skin off my knuckles at cardio boxing yesterday. My form was mostly good, but I'm not used to punching plastic like that. Then I salved myself by using Batman bandaids, and evidently they didn't get enough air. The unbandaided knuckle looks a lot better than the other two. Gotta keep flexing and applying the Neosporin.

I like the word 'dongle.' It sounds naughty.
