Jun. 1st, 2005

It's offical, and the Washington Post confirmed it. FBI's "No. 2 man" Mark Felt was Deep throat.

Some say it's not suprizing... but then, I'm one who started about it by reading Bernstein's and Woodward's book, All the President's Men. It's all a played out drama, this secret held for over 30 years. The fascination is there.

Passive investigation. Gotta love it.

Went to the bank, and checked my balance there. Since banks usually "do the books" around 2am or so, it's usually a matter of how they resolve all the deposits, debits, withdraws, and charges.

Yesterday, I was like $175 in the hole. Today, I'm not negative at all. No fees.

Apparently my bank places all deposits first (landing my over $200 paycheck into everything), then all the debits/etc (including finalized charges, since it's a check card). And since 99% of my purchases are done via a charge to the check card (not a debit, which I get "fined" for), all of them fall under credit card rules, giving me some more time -- but temporarly confusing the hell out of the bank computers, ATMs, etc for some odd reason that even the teller lady couldn't explain. (I like Provident for that -- the lady stepped through things and there was no attempt on my account.)

What fun.

xaviusarchangel sent me four SCSI drives that I can put in a RAID setup, plus a Celeron Slot 1 card for the motherboard I have... unfortunately, I belive it's BIOS isn't liking it. Thankfully Ebay has Pentium II's for cheap (with heatsink) so I'll snatch one, get it in. The mailman caught me while I was unlocking the door, and remembered the package. I also asked him about another package comming up -- the laptop. I didn't know if it would come on Thursday or Friday (it was taken in Tuesday afternoon in New Hapshire), so I asked him to keep an eye out for it. If it came Thursday, when I will be babysitting, please PLEASE leave me a notice, I'll pick it up on Friday. He said he would.

Great. I got tagged by

griffinwolf with a meme...

Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal... and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.

In no particular order:

1.   Role Playing via mucks or over AIM
2.   Chinese food
3.   Chatting
4.   Watching something funny
5.   Furry PORN! (ether looking, reading, or making)

And therefore, I tag...
