Entertaining Spam
Every now and again, maybe one in one thousand incoming spam messages makes me laugh. The latest:
Subject: Elisha Cuthbert recommends these penis pills.
For those of you who don’t know, Elisha Cuthbert, one of the stars of the Fox television series 24, is one of my favorite sexy celebrities. So the subject definitely caught my eye and made me chuckle. But what made the message laugh-out-loud funny was the sender:
From: Vaughn
I still didn’t read the message, because it is spam, after all, but I did get a kick out of it. If it isn’t funny to you, then you need to watch so much Alias that both shows meld into one.
I’m In!
Berkeley called today to tell me I’ve been readmitted. Unfortunately, I have to wait until Monday to get the oh-so-symbolic student ID card, and to ensure that I can get it on Monday I have to go to campus tomorrow to ensure my approved application gets into the system before the Friday night deadline, but I’m walking on air (and writing excessively long sentences to boot)!
The Application is In
Now it’s up to the Deans’ Conference. I’ve turned in a rather large pile of forms, recommendations, letters, and transcripts. They’ll meet on Thursday and I should know if I’m readmitted by Friday.
Wish me luck!
