Shifting topics without a clutch

First, a shout to a best friend I've never met, kdiddy, who done got hitched over the weekend. And without a hitch, too, so to speak. Huzzah! Told you it'd be fine! *kiss*

There is a phishing attempt going through the Comcast user base right now. The email is a notice saying that your "Comcast Verification details records are expired", and it directs you to a URL based in Turkey. The word "immediately" in the text is misspelled "immidiatley", a sure sign of ironclad veracity. I shouldn't have to explain this to anyone on my flist, but if you should receive this, delete it unopened, or notify Comcast as soon as you get it; do not open the URL, and disable any automatic opening scripts in your email proggies and keep them disabled.

Thanks for the warning, Steve. I'll take action, uh, immidiatley.

I really need to start brewing my own, here, because even the leaded is Folger's, which sucketh muchly.

But Folger's lets you tolerate mornings!

Shakira is quite hot, but the big question when talking about a celebrity is "Does she have a nice personality?"

Oh, I've taken the liberty of flisting you.

in shakira's defense, her first singles and her CD that i heard before this horrific "hips don't lie" farce of a song, were really good. i actually contemplated buying it when we borrowed it from a friend.

now, she's so modulated that she sounds like she's singing through a balloon. you can't even tell WHAT she's supposed to sound like.

if you haven't seen the reports, Hips Don't Lie is officially the most played song ever, second only to Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani. i think it's not so much that it's good enough to be played that often, but that someone sold their soul to get radio stations to play it constantly, thus to trick the masses into thinking it's a good song.

I suspect that the reason the auto-tuner is engaged with Shakira is that Rick Rubin, who produced her recent double-album-released-as-two-discs-many-moons-apart, most likely didn't care and just wanted to get back to digging through the stacks upon stacks of tape he cut for Johnny Cash (TWO new albums coming out from the American sessions. The hell, man.) or some band he actually likes (Chili Peppers, most likely.)
