Deal With It
I know the feeling. Drowning in emails, inundated with work, not enough time for personal matters, getting that feeling like it’s all you can do just to keep your head above water. What happened to those quiet, reflective days of youth?
Dammit, People!
Dammit, people! Secure your damm email accounts with better passwords! And change them once in a while! You’re all getting hacked and then they steal your address book and then impersonate you and then my email address is on spammer’s lists forever! AOL email seems to be particularly vulnerable. Howabout not using an email service that is almost as old as the Internet itself? Just a thought.
Also you may want to avoid using third-party sites that save your email username/password combo as your risk of being hacked increases exponentially the more of those kind of sites you use.

‘The Book of Mormon’ at Eugene O’Neill Theater - Review - NYTimes.com
Hmm. Ben certainly likes the show. I have neither heard nor seen anything of the show, but combining the overtly childish melodies of Avenue Q with the irreverent sensibilities of South Park can certainly make for a hilariously entertaining time.
I worry that in this era of post-postmodernist self-referential musicals, the references to musicals past these shows evoke – nay, rely upon – may be lost on those who are unfamiliar with the historical lexicography and stylistic taxonomy of the genre. Much like a theatergoer who is unfamiliar with The Glass Menagerie and who goes to see the Chris Durang one act “For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls,” I fear that the deeper jokes can be lost on the vox populace and, while entertaining on the surface, these shows may not stand the test of time.

At first glance this website doesn’t look too bad.
A poor design to be sure, but still somewhat readable. However, something didn’t quite seem right so I did a Ctrl + A to select all and this is what it revealed:
Hilarity and shame, shame, shame. I shall say no more.

You know you’re doing something right when, consistently and month-after-month, each one of your bank and credit card statements reconciles… to the cent.
