I was doing a little historical research on the ol’ Wayback Machine (think: time machine, now in condensed URL form!), and I decided to look up my own website. Some of what I found was pretty cool. Wayback has a record of a few entries I’ve since lost, so I may be able to reformat them and reintroduce them into the blogosphere, where hopefully they’ll breed and help sustain my ailing entry population.

Some of the stuff I read, however, only depressed me. I read an entry in which I’m bitching because I’d been eating so much that I had soared up to 170 pounds. 170! I was up from 158. Jesus. I didn’t even remember I ~was~ that skinny, however briefly. Shit, though. 170. I’m hovering (assuming an ass that heavy can hover) above 190 now. Wha happen?!?

In news that doesn’t cause me to price rice cakes and laxatives, I have a Gmail account! *beams a big smile at my new friendlike person, Alicia* Gmail, for those of you who both live under a rock ~and~ didn’t read my ranting on the front page about it this last April, is a webmail system created by Google that has several doubleplusgood properties. For example, instead of having to store everything in hundreds of mailboxes just to know how to find something a few months down the line (my Eudora, which I use to check my ISU email, has 111 mailboxes in 9 folders, and my Inbox is still hopelessly cluttered), you can just search for the message you want using Google-powered search technology. Also, Gmail organizes information contextually. Meaning, if send a message, they reply, I reply back, they reply to my reply (and so on…), Gmail will cluster those messages, giving me quick access to the entire conversation. Oh, and the ~gigabyte~ of storage space isn’t anything to spit at, either. :)

If you want it, my new email address is rglazebrook at gmail dot com. I’ll still be checking my ISU email and Rootarcana mail, of course. I just like having alternatives. Particularly cool alternatives.
