And the copyright notice is just priceless. Like anyone would challenge "Mrs. Melinda Reyes" for this auto-translated bit of crap.
According to the
email/internet scams site, this has been going on for a while. Their recommendation is to go ahead and turn over my personal info to these idiots so I can get the fake money orders and turn them over to a higher authority. I'm sure that would be better for a court case, but nope, not going that far.
In other news, I've been watching Supernatural...
...not one word, Ren. Not. One. Word.
...and okay, past season one--which was TERRIFYINGLY BAD--it's been okay. Pretty boys put through hell, yeah, that's kind of my thing, okay.
Still. The first season was dreck. Start to finish. Dreeeeeeck.
At present I'm on episode eleven in season two. I'm still on occasion dragging my feet to go through episodes, but I'm getting there. AND they still get things wrong now and again. But I can cope with the inconsistency, if grudgingly.
In other news, recently went through the entirety of season one of Dresden Files again. Miss that show desperately. Most of the magic in that case--and in the books? They got right.
