bubbly and lovely: i'm too poor for therapy.

been there and back again. too many thoughts and opinions and hormones get me in trouble.

I HATE HOTMAIL
i've switched my personal email account from hotmail to fastmail.fm. i've been told the fm part stands for the federation of micronesia. so even tho' as an active blogger i get to beta test gmail, google's venture into the free mail service, i kind of have issues. because google searches through all your emails to tailor the advertisements that are presented on your screen, kind of like the way the advertising on their regular search engine works. so out of respect for my friends and corresponders, and on the recommendation of a friend, i've defected to fastmail.

here's what happened: i got an email the other day from some web address i'd never heard of, something like deee.ed.ie or something like that, saying i had tried to send a message that was bounced back because of an executable attachment that resembled a virus. now, i've never sent such an attachment, and i'd never seen the address. so i was concerned that someone was using my account, without my knowledge, to send email. i wanted to ask the folks at hotmail if this was possible, but IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM! perhaps in the interest of cutting back on their costs, if you send an email to "support@hotmail.com", you get an email back saying that it's an unmonitored email account. and there's no other way to get in touch with them. there are NO MORE HUMANS AT HOTMAIL! THE MACHINES HAVE TAKEN OVER! so i decided to f*** them. hotmail's heyday has come and gone. it's now the day of fastmail!

ps: i hate working. i'm such a schlub.
