after almost 4 years in a relationship, i’ve forgotten what it’s like to be single. cynicalscribe and i broke up this past sunday afternoon, and all i keep thinking about are little random moments in time that stick in my head. things like…
#5297 – unmotivated
bleh. i’ve got a lot to do (and a lot i should have been doing) lately, but i’m finding it hard to get motivated to do it. schoolwork, emails to write, calls to make, found a job to apply to, other stuff to do… just not feeling it.
i’d probably already be in bed tonight if i didn’t have housekeeping chores that need to get done, like laundry and other cleaning tasks.

#5296 – $5 hockey ticket
i went to the capitals hockey game tonight (and i’m still recovering from my two beers, so please excuse any typos). late last week i was thinking of going to the game this past sunday since mom and dad were going to be out of town visiting with feisty_fitz and her fiancé and his family, so i started looking online for a ticket. when i started to look, i found a ticket to tonight’s game on stubhub for $5. yes, $5. the only shipping option was via fedex, so altogether it was something like $21 for the ticket shipped, but even still that’s half the cost of the ticket normally. i figured i didn’t have anything to lose (stubhub guarantees the tickets are valid, and if for any reason it’s not valid or if it doesn’t arrive in time they set you up with tickets as good if not better than the seat you ordered or your money back). so, i ordered the ticket, and it was verified by the seller on saturday.
i got an email from stubhub on tuesday saying how they noticed the seller hadn’t yet shipped my ticket, but don’t worry since they’ll take care of me if it doesn’t arrive in time, and then late tuesday night i saw that it had shipped for delivery on wednesday. went to the game tonight after work, and yup, the ticket worked no problem. not bad! plsus, it was great because not only did the caps win 6-3, but there was a fight, and alexander semin got a hat trick. plus, since the caps scored 5+ goals during the game, i can take my ticket stub to a glory days grill in the next week to get 6 free wings, yesss. so, good game all around.
this afternoon at work i was talking to my coworkers about going to the the game, and when one of them heard how much the ticket cost me he exclaimed “you can’t even go to the movies anymore for $5!”, which made it even better.

#5295 – honeypot
years and years ago when i still used my comcast email address, i set up an alternate email address to use in circumstances where i might not want to give out my personal email address. since i was taking my spy class at the time (“from spies to satellites”), and since i wanted to generally keep the details of this address secret, i set it up as smersh@comcast.net.
even though i don’t use it, i still have gmail check my smersh@comcast.net address with the rest of my email addresses just in case something important arrives, but in the past year or so, i’ve suddenly started receiving emails intended for other people. here’s the latest i just received today
