notes from underground

Hung out with Chen tonight, which was really fun…. at some point we ended up looking through old spam emails we’d gotten, reading the subject lines that struck us as particularly amusing. It really would have been fun to have an assignment for Electronic Writing II, “Take the subject line of a spam email, then write a story based on it.” I may try anyway, or do some kind of artistic response to spam. The cream of the crop from the messages in my spam folder today (each of these are a subject line):

Samurai Stock Info
Just published I think, yes.
Full of health? Then don’t click!
The Stock Trading Gunslinger
angrily
You don’t have to sacrifice
concentrated massage
Message Subject
Your health, no man
Flare left field
test wok
Your health, nose-pulled
unmoved black

Nuts, there was one really great phrase that I can’t find… maybe Chen got it. Oh well. Anyway, it sounds like a rediculous way to spend an evening, but we also went for a walk and managed to find a coffeeshop that was still open on Wickenden, so it was not entirely unusual, just consistently fun and interesting. She’s a cool person to talk to.

And now, goodnight, world!
