Well, I was missing you, yes I am talking to you…
…and you…
So I went ahead and got DirecTv. 130 channels on 2 TVs plus local
channels for $45/mo. I thought it was worth it, even if my
roommates don’t want to pay for it (which they don’t). It should
be ready toward the end of the Olympics. I also recently bought
some more RAM for ol’ Vicky. That IS my computer’s name, by the
way, Vicky.By the way, here is a list I just found of the biggest contributers to
dubya’s campain over his career (I guess Enron is allready off the
list, since the company is caput). If you are just as disgusted
as I am, you will boycott these companies. I am cancelling my
Miami Dolphans MBNA cerdit card today. And I will stay loyal to
Macs forever now.The list:
Morgan Stanley
$705,325
Merrill Lynch
$660,329
PriceWaterhouseCoopers
$622,898
UBS Americas

P.S. This CD below, “Rock Against Bush, Vol. 2″, is great. Not
only does it have a lot of great, rare songs by famous groups (Green
Day, No Doubt, Foo Fighters, Bad Religion, Op Ivy, Rancid, Flogging
Molly, etc.), but it alos includes a bonus DVD which has music videos
(Bad Religion, Flogging Molly, NoFX), comedy (extended version of Will
Ferrel’s Bush commercial that
you can’t see on the website), and political commentary (6 shorts about
the current regime). Best of all, it’s usually less that $10 and
it goes to a anti-Bush cause.

Way to waste your money, Matt. Bush told you to spend, so you got $45/month TV. That’s good use of your grant money. I’m going to report you to NSF.
Matt, I miss you too. But I think you were talking to John Stewart…..
Matt…. random question. I know you’re in Montana. But what city? Is it Missoula? Just curious…
I am moving to Huntington Beach, though my boyfriend is interested in U of Montana, Missoula. I was just curious as to what it was like there… email me (cuz I lost your address when my computer crashed
) sam@uclagrad.net
