So, this is not gonna be a positive post. And it's gonna probably change the way you guys look at me.

The short of it is that I got scammed. The long of it is that it was a variety of money mule scam, which means I'm on the hook too ( Read more... )

I got an alert from ThriftBooks that an item on my wish list is in-stock. I get these alerts semi-regularly because my wish list is made up as much of books I want to remember to buy later as it is books that aren't available.

Did you know that Naruto fandom is "full of wank and stupid peolpe"?

What's that? You didn't? Dude, seriously?

Well, lucky for you that pheonixxxphreak is here to set the record straight! Go on, read the comments. I mean, you weren't actually using those brain cells for anything, were you?
