Barnes and Noble apparently ships so quickly that you can receive the delivery before it ships.

Email I received this morning (09/15), which arrived at 5:18PM: "Your order is now packed and ready to ship."

Impressive, isn't it?

For everyone's reference:

Under the new MTA fare schedule ($2.25/ride, 15% bonus), the first time you now get a whole number of rides when buying in increments of $10 is when you spend $90. Of course, no one ever buys a $90 metrocard and I don't even think they allow you to buy $90 (or $45) as an option.

At any rate: this has been a public service announcement. If you're starting a new metrocard, try to make sure that you hit $90 purchased at some point (particularly since buying in increments of $20 means you won't be able to fully empty a metrocard until you've put $180 on it).

Anyone have one of these? (laptop with vista x32 or xp?) I need one to install something, and all of my machines have x64 on them.

I was thinking about hosting lunch. Anyone thinking about hosting dinner?

Josh

Like the title says- anyone have meal plans? Or alternatively, not have them? I'm willing to host something, if necessary.

Alright, I know I'm going to be made fun of again, but...I once again have a code for them, this time B1G1 (full price items only, I'm afraid). The code, online and in the stores, is "FREE4U" (no "" marks).

Just as a note- though many of us have them, if anyone's looking, amazon.com is carrying the full buffy series (seasons 1-7) for $69.99.

Don't have any plans yet. I'm willing to host one, if necessary.

Is anyone else getting an Undead Journal header? What do we want? blooooog. When do we want it? Bloooooog.

As of now, I have 1 1st night Shavuot invitation, 2 brunch invitations, and a 2nd day lunch invitation. Anyone planning a 2nd day dinner thing, or should I be thinking in that direction?

Anyone planning anything for this Friday night?

I don't even think that I have any commentary for the moment on this. Besides the post title, of course:

Can you believe this???

Question for people (locals really, since no one else would be interested)-

Does anyone have an interest in a case (i.e. 10 reams) of paper? Staples has them for $20 each after rebate, but only if you buy 2. I could use another one, but 2 is definitely more than I really need (actually, I might be able to do 2, but since I don't know if I'm moving yet,that would seem unwise).

So, for all of those of you who are looking for MS Office 2007, and are a student, and want a low price (IIRC MSDNAA doesn't include Office, in general):

The Ultimate Steal Offer- Office Ultimate for $60. Offered directly by MS.

This public service announcement has been brought to you by the letter J and the number 42.

Many of you already know, but I've been seeing a number of LJ posts that maybe shouldn't be public. Not that they're embarassing, but that you wouldn't want anyone who knew your LJ name to see them. So, a public service announcement: about 30 seconds after posting this, Google will have an archive of it. The same goes for any public posts you make. Be aware.

Do we really need a toilet bowl cleaner under hashgacha?

My better half notes: but if you drink it, drink 203 glasses of water.

I'm wondering whether or not someone just posted a riff on a Python sketch on MSNBC.

Remind me not to do that too loudly. I think I just scared a small dog.
On the other hand, that could be a useful skill for rodents.

(OK, to be fair, I didn't actually scare a small dog. But I'm sure that I could without too much effort)

(EDIT): PS- if anyone knows of any meals this weekend, please let me know (I'm actually just me, for once).

Egads! Josh posting twice! Must be something wrong.

No, actually, I just wanted to post an interesting link. This is a link to a YU Commentator interview with Rabbi Joel Roth. This is certainly not my newspaper of choice, and it's an opinion piece, not a news story, but I thought it was interesting that it made it in, nevertheless.

1. Tell you why I added you to my friends list and/or why I keep you there.
2. Associate you with something. A song, a color, a work of art, a character in a play, a piece of fruit. SOMETHING.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you/us.
5. Associate you with a character from a book or a film.
6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. (Or else I'll just ask a random question. I reserve that right.)
7. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.

Ergh... the downside: in return, you must spread this disease in your LJ.
