i got Gmail!

i just got an invite from someone already using the Gmail service, and got myself a Gmail account now!

the address is: xenomorph AT gmail.com. (i'm typing it like that in the hope that spam spiders don't pick it up.)

you can visit HERE to read a bit about Gmail. it's basically an e-mail service provided by Google that offers 1 Gigabyte of e-mail storage (compared to just a few megs from services like Hotmail or Yahoo).

the Gmail service is in a closed testing state right now, so you can only get an account by first receiving an invitation from someone who already has an account.

anyone seen "Diet Rite" soda?

its made by the Dr. Pepper / 7 Up people.

its a Zero carb, Zero calorie soda, made with that new "Splenda" stuff. the fake sugar that was made using alien technology to be very sugar-like or something.

it seriously tasted like regular soda. it didnt have that fake sweetner taste at all. i was REALLY impressed.

i cant wait until more soda companies use Splenda. i drink soda all the time, but only diet soda (Diet Coke w/ Lime is my favorite right now).

well fuck...

someone asked me if i could help them move Saturday before work. i said sure.

but then my Aunt invited me to our family reunion -- i havent been to it in YEARS... probably close to a decade. i use to go to it all the time when i was younger.

so i told my friend i would help them move in the evening, as i really wanted to go to my family reunion in the morning...

but then i checked my work schedule, and saw that i worked from 11AM to 9PM. i was supposed to go to the reunion at 10AM. it was an hour drive, so there would be no way I could make it.

so now i sent my Aunt an e-mail saying i wont be able to make it there...
