Leverage was adorable last night. Hardison, my love for you cannot be textually rendered. This is as close as I can come: ♥♥♥♥♥

Ditto Parker and Eliot.

So I learned an interesting thing this morning.

Occasionally, I get email that is not for me. I imagine this happens to a lot of people once in a while. I don't mean spam, I mean email where the email address is one character off or whatever, and thus, addressed to someone else, etc.

There is at least one person (actually, I wouldn't be surprised if there were more than one) out there in the vast world of the internet who uses a dot-free variation of my email address when she signs up for things, but it turns out it's still my email address. Apparently, gmail disregards the dot(s) in user names.

What this has meant in the past few days is that I have gotten confirmation of numerous things this person has signed her kid up for, and because I have no way of knowing what her actual email address is, I can't forward her the information. On occasion, I've been able to click on the "I've received this email in error" link, but that is not always an option.

I have to say, the whole thing is a little disturbing (can she see my inbox? is my mail going to her inbox? etc.), though I'm glad to have an explanation for it.

I got eight hours of sleep last night! I should not be so sleepy now. Sigh.
