Monica's Journal: communications and whatnot

so i was proud of myself yesterday when i got my email inbox down to 11 messages. todd says he's happy he got his down to 86.

    we get lots and lots of spam every day. and virii. lots of them. tony gets the more interesting asian porn tho. i got a spam message two days in a row with the same picture of the topless girl, but in one, it said "hi, i'm katie, call this number to talk to me" and the other said "hi, i'm melissa. i just turned 18 and am eager to please. call this number to talk to me." i think it's safe to say that the poor girl's name was neither melissa nor katie.

    i found a disk in the lost and found that i think belonged to an administrator that is now on maternity leave. it's got some juicy letters to students kicking them out of school or something.

    so reslife gave us the option of moving into a double upstairs in my own dorm. that's cool. as long as either todd moves us mostly or i don't have to do it before the LSAT on october 5.
    but we wouldn't have to use the hub to share a single ethernet connection and todd would have a key to the dorm. and we wouldn't have to walk outside in the cold at 8:30am to the next dorm to take showers. there are several advantages.

    so i got a phone bill the other day. apparently these days AT&T (the college campus version) is giving you not only 30 free minutes for using your personal code number (you can use them until november 30!), but 10 more free minutes for paying your bill on time. that's crazy. so on my bill, it outlines every one of my calls, and credits them one by one. yet my bill is still $13. and i only made $1.23 worth of calls. the fuckers.

you should definitely copy the disk. peeking in on peoples personal lives is always fun :)

the problem is, half of the files are in wordperfect format and half of them are in ms word format. the word ones won't open and i have to use notepad to open the wpd ones because i lost my office cd. so i can't really see them that well, except for when they're interspersed with wpd-to-notepad jibberish.

i have this dirve off an old school computer i really wanna read. i don't know if i ever tried, i think i may just be lazy. i also have kiran's old hd, and one of these is in the dell, though not connected, while the other is in my desk.

heh. i forgot it was there for a while. i opened it once when i first got here and said, "hey, neat. harddrive." i must have left it in there after tyring to get it to read long, long ago.
