I don't Yahoo!. Why? For one thing, Yahoo!groups email has this hideous "feature" where replying to someone's contribution sends an email to the entire list instead of just that person. I'd filter out the Reply-to: header in any mail obtained from those groups. The more insidious reason is that they're screwing with your email by replacing any instance of certain security-infringing phrases. They also changed all of their privacy policies on handing out user information to opt-out without notifying any of their users in May. So if you gave your address to Yahoo! in registering sometime before May, they've probably handed it out to everybody they're affiliated with by now. And you didn't even know. These people didn't even make it an opt-in scheme where you could voluntarily sign up to be bombarded with capitalist propaganda. Lastly, what kind of company includes an exclamation point in its name? That gets kind of annoying to read and write, like, right away.

Anyways. Today was a fun day. I actually woke up reasonably early, then had lunch with Emily (the one who just got engaged... :). Cherry was in town too, so some of us went to North End to hang out with her. We were going to go to Mike's Pastry (which sounds rather grammatically incorrect - everybody calls it Mike's Pastries anyways) to snack, but they were inconveniently closed for some unspecified holidays. I've never been to North End until now (said, isn't it?), but I think I like the feel of it. Perhaps one day I'll actually make it to Mike's when they're open.

Then I went back to work for awhile, and tried to grab dinner, but nothing was open. So I dropped by Cze's place to say hello and goodnight, came home and cooked spaghetti, and look - I'm going to bed an hour earlier than yesterday. Go me.

I don't understand why God is so good to me most days. But He is. There's an amazing love - God - God-sized - being good to me - not God-sized. He's good, period, but I sure don't deserve what He gives.
