Well, I’ve taken the plunge.

I backed up my database, disabled my plugins and upgraded to WordPress 2.5. With almost zero trouble, I was up and running—and let me tell ya, I like it!

I’m going to give the new admin interface the benefit of the doubt, but I have Fluency, a new Admin Theme on standby in case I get tired of the softer tones.

I get lots and LOTS of spam, and it typically gets a subject line once-over before it’s tossed out with the banana peels and DirecTV mailers.

Well, this one gave me pause. Then it confused me. Then I was convinced that I had a moral obligation to share it with all of you!

This is an e-mail I received from Clair. Or maybe it’s from Kristina:

Here’s some Very Interesting Things that jumped out at me:

1. She claims to have “closely read [my] profile” (only God knows what profile she’s referring to), yet has somehow gotten the (wrong) idea that I’m either unmarried or willing to cheat on my wife. (”I looking for serious relations.”)
2. She’s under the impression that I’m dirt-poor. (”For me are not necessary money.”)
3. She called me ugly! (”The external beauty for me too is not important.”)
4. Here’s the kicker, and it’s what made her request for “the man will concern to me” so gosh-darned tempting: people, at the free time she likes to go to DISCO!

But nope! Sorry, Ms. Whoever-you-think-your-name-is… I already got a wife off the Internet.

Numb3rs wouldn’t have an audience if it weren’t for Square One TV’s MathNet. I think it’s only fair for them to write an episode guest-starring Joe Howard and Beverly Leech (George Frankly and Kate Monday, respectively).

They don’t have to be law enforcement officers; but the stronger their connection to solving crimes with math, the cooler it would be.

And speaking of Square One actors making guest appearances, Larry Cedar would make a perfect brother to LOST’s Ben Linus (Michael Emerson). Just sayin’.

Katie got to do some pretty cool things this morning:

• take part in her first “community” Easter egg hunt
• meet Lisa Landis
• make her first-ever request for the Kids Cookie Break request hour

So she’s a happy camper.

“And ye, O peoples, to whom God gave the liberty to choose your own magistrates, see to it, that ye do not forfeit this favor, by electing to the positions of highest honor, rascals and enemies of God.” — John Calvin

So according to John Calvin, you forfeit your God-given freedom to vote if you elect anyone but Ron Paul.
