I love the gas company
Yes. There I said it. I love them. Why?
Reason #1: you get the bill, and it says, "Please pay upon receipt". Nice and easy living - no due date to scare me. Just pay it when you get it. Thanks!
Reason #2: the envelope that you send your check in is already pre-postaged. I was just about to put a stamp on it, when I saw that little box that said: No Postage Necessary if Mailed in the United States

Now, I would love the gas company even more if they did one more thing. I have a credit card company that puts it's address in the return address area on the envelope for you. That way, the check will get there one way or another, and I don't have to go hunting for those funny little return address labels everyone sends you (thanks GMHC and Amnesty and Working Assets).
Keyspan - come here, let me kiss ya.


Nutty Buddy
Our on the ball pal Eric (from Boston) sent out a link to the new Melanie Griffith website. Totally Awesome, and by 'awesome', I mean totally 'freaky'.
Two things I love about this site
1. When you go to a new page, you hear her spooky voice announcing the page. "welcome to a glimpse of my life". If you are like me, and thinking this would be a great idea for happyrobot, let's get to work. Imagine Dan announcing each page... "welcome to the robot journal - mmmmhyesss"

2. The great navigation that you have to roll over to see where it goes. I love that! (and when I say 'love', i mean 'hate')



Tornado
There was a tornado watch yesterday for NYC. What the hell? You know, living in NYC I thought would excuse me from these 'flyover state' problems, you know?
(Matt, you can skip to the next item - you already heard this) What's next? Tire yard fires in Brooklyn Heights? Trailer park built on ground zero?
OK, so let's say that they put a trailer park on ground zero - we'll need a good name for it.
Twin Tower Arms
World Trade Hills
WTC Gardens

Say the following with a drawl: "By putting ma trailer here, I am showing those terrorists that they didn't win"
Ah, I'm just kidding. I got kin who live in trailers.


Robot Stories
Look at this. Someone out west go see it and report back - sounds killer diller.


Krissie
Thanks for the new book reviews. I wrote you back, but it bounced. I am not sure what your email address is. I then forwarded it to your husband, who may or may not be reading his mail. Or mail from me. Ever since I kicked him out of the Olsen Twin Secret Fan Club, I don't think he's speaking to me.


EdgeDweller
Let me say this: Nate of 'EdgeDweller' is quite the writer. Did you read the newest one?



I Ain't your tuna roll
I am a member and regular poster at another website who's name I won't mention. The other day, someone brought up sushi, and I mentioned our sushi site, and a fellow user in the NY Metro area sent me a few instant messages about how they liked the site, etc. (this site has it's own 'IM' system, which is totally cool).
This person started messaging me tonight.. and I thought I should share:
S: happy hi!
S: happy i got so drunk tonight drinkking sake i aqm in sane...lol;.
Me: ah. you gotta watch the sake!
S: i got so drunk
S: happy robot i want you to do the twisyt with me to crazy 50s music
S: sake...i wanna go crazy
S: your my lil tuna roll...lol
Me: I think somebody needs to drink some water and take an aspirin
S: ROBOT... I FEEL YOUR VIBES, HEHE YOUR SUSHI ROCKS MY WORLD

(note, they call me 'happy', short for happyrobot I suppose)
creepy? sure. Funny? kind of.
