FW: Don't Send Me Any Forwards

So first things first. I still don't have a tv. I also don't have anything from netflix. I've been watching episodes of Ugle Betty which I like. My favorite line so far, Whilomena says to her assistant Marc "How many curly headed efite sychophants do you think are waiting in line for your job?" Anyway I sent back some and thought I woudl get another one today, but alas not such gift in my mailbox. So tonight I'm going to watch Steel Magnolia, a classic in my very gay house. I'm hoping to have my tv by mid-week. I'll keep you informed.

The other thing for today: I received a forwarded e-mail from my aunt today. At the point she is really the only person who sends me annoying forwards. Last week she sent me an article written by Tony Snow, former press secretary for President Bush. The essential gist of the article was how cancer has been such a gift to him. To which I say something that I'm not going to print in this blog. Well anyway today she sent an e-mail forward that was talking about how to send forwards. Seriously. It had all these rules for the proper way to send forwards so that other people can't steal the e-mail addresses off of the list, etc. My favorite was that you were supposed to remove "FW:" from the subject. Now here is why I loved this. She didn't remove "FW:" from her subject line. Hilarious!!!

We are entering our summer here in San Francisco. It was beautiful today. Very warm. So today I spent some time on the patio behind the house reading. It was fantastic. I was actually sweating. We dont get many of these days so I'm savoring it. I made a very summery dinner tonight too--sauteed squash and zuchini with pasta and a glass of wine. MMM good.

Peace out!

Lucky you with only ONE forwarder. I can count on my mom, my aunt, and half of my congregation to send me the same forwarded e-mail with a "picture" of Jesus in it that basically tells me to forward it or I'll be damned for eternity because I didn't stand up for the picture I should believe in. WTFreak?!

Just tonight I got an email forward from my church treasurer with an "inspiring" story (probably made up) about a school principal who stood up for school prayer and bemoaned sex education, condoms, tolerance for gays/lesbians, etc. I was sorely tempted to ask her to stop sending me emails, as this wasn't the first time I've gotten something like that from her, but then I decided I was too tired to deal with it.
