Today I Skyped Amital and Josh. This is the first time I've used Skype for non internship-related things all summer. Lame, I know.
I wanted to share this site with you: http://myparentsjoinedfacebook.com/. I emailed it to my parents. I really hope they understand why it's funny. I'm still not making my Facebook profile public/available for their viewing pleasure.
Before I pass out from exhaustion, I want to talk about Gmail's mail goggles. Basically, you set it up so that at a certain time on certain days (Friday and Saturday nights from 1am-6am for me...I guess that's Saturday and Sunday mornings...even though I'm more of a Thursday/Saturday drinker, courtesy of CUMB), you have to do math problems for your email to send.
I do send emails when I'm drunk. The thing is, they're for legit things. Because when I get home and am sufficiently drunk (or actually, on any night, regardless of my level of sobriety), I can't fall asleep right away, so I check my email. And if I think it's important enough, I send the emails then, too. (I'll let you guess if I've ever emailed you while I've been drunk. Most likely, I haven't.)
In the future, I'll probably just save the emails as drafts. But I've been debating whether or not to keep my mail goggles. 90%+ of the time, I'm not remotely drunk at those hours of the day/night, and I actually trust myself to send legitimate emails when I am. That's what spellcheck is for, afterall.
Better safe than sorry, I guess. Sometime, I might want to send a ridiculous email and forget that my graphing calculator is within arm's reach. Or I might forget how to use it. I doubt that. I'm a very high-functioning drunk person. But still.
IM goggles might be useful. Not phone/texting goggles. I've never been into that. Except texting CUMB-related quotes. I'm pretty good at that, and I have remarkably good spelling skills.
What Gmail should really do is play movies whenever I try to send emails while drunk. This will keep me occupied long enough to make me tired.
Example: One time, I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button while I was drunk. I remember all of the movie...and I don't think being drunk made it trippy, because the beginning of the movie was weird enough.
In conclusion, Gmail rocks and I will continue to use its mail goggles feature. So if you ever get an email from me over the weekend in the wee hours of the morning, feel special, because I had to do math in order to send it.
And that is all.
