Free music Wednesday

From time to time Amazon will give $2 credits good for MP3s. They're doing it right now! Use code FALLMP3S to get a Free $2 MP3 Credit on Amazon! I suggest doing it as soon as you can. I'm not sure when the code expires.

This time around I got "Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright and "Two of Us" by Aimee Mann from the "I Am Sam" soundtrack. Two great songs but I'll never buy the albums.

What did you get?

Misc really covers it all.

Last week I started getting the paper. This morning I perused the classifieds. This one caught my eye. I dare you to look away after the first two lines. Dare you.


So ... do I take comfort in the fact these are new or shudder at the fact that this person has amassed a collection of fake boobies? I have several faces I imagine belonging to the voice who answers the phone. Is it a thirty-something who takes a break from WoW to pick up his cell? Is it a former delivery guy or gal who found an overage in a shipment of optional endowment? Perhaps it's someone who is also selling "mattresses left in warehouse." (I shudder when I think of that creepy warehouse with abandoned pillow-top beds being sold off at deeply discounted prices.)

Of course I've changed the phone number. If you're interested I'll give you the number. I won't ask if it's for personal info or simply to see who answers.

What do you imagine this seller of silicone looks like? If I get around to it I'll send a prize to the best description. If only a couple people answer I'll send prizes to them. I guarantee it'll be something good and not a booby prize. (Tee, hee. Couldn't resist.)
