She said YUCK!

That's right, Musk Flavored Life Savers. They hail from New Zealand. Leave it to the Southern Hemisphere to come up with something like this. It is definitely an acquired taste. I got them from a friend who lives in Sydney. They're okay, but they definitely taste like sweetened perfume. I told a... Sign in to see full entry.

Scary

I took the phone modem out of my computer and installed a USB card. This allows me to connect the devices directly to the computer instead of having them connected to a USB port expander.

Diary of a Gate-Rape Victim

Cleveland Day 1 I made it to Cleveland okay. I got caught by the gate rape squad at the TSA security check. I didn't take out my laptop and place it on top of my bag.
