Botswanan Minister of Treasury

[ehowton]

I awoke this morning and sat in front of the computer blurry-eyed drinking my first cup of coffee like I do every morning, still in my robe. The rest of the house (save for my wife) remained in a deep slumber. Nearly 9-hours of sleep on a day off. Bliss. The first email in my inbox told me there had been multiple attempts to login to my bank account so they've disabled it pending re-verification. Yesterday, within minutes of transferring money between accounts I got the email alerting me to the change. They're good about security.

Yeah, I filled out the form.

Yeah, I submitted it.

I am an IT Professional. I know better. I'm smarter than this.

As soon as I saw that it was transmitting to a URL other than my bank, I hit the browser's stop button and sighed a heavy sigh. I suck. So...I'm expecting a new ATM card within 5-7 days and I used the opportunity to update my address. I feel like I should do some sort of penance for my indiscretion. I am not worthy of the title which has been bestowed upon me.

I don't usually like Philip Glass. He's dull. I don't like his original compositions, and I don't like his scores. Oddly enough, I have plenty of both. I don't know why. Maybe I keep expecting him to improve? Either way, I found something I do enjoy, and no one is more surprised than I. The Illusionist. Wow. I've steered cleared of this album for a long time because I dislike Philip Glass. Yet here we are.

First Zimmer, and now Glass. Maybe I really am getting old.

*sigh*

Happy Fourth of July.



Watched Disc One of Firefly today and picked up two CD's of which I have thus far only had the mp3's to:

Firefly
Serenity

I hate mp3's.

Hello sir, and a pleasure to meet you! Do you work with our dear ehowton or just stumble across his blog? Either way, we welcome you to our little band of miscreants.

Greetings fellow member of the loony bin. I stumbled here via a friend awhile ago, and now it is time to make a name for myself in Howtonville. Expect the neon sign and French chanteuse shortly.
