Evil unsolicited email

The “evil” song from Lord of the Rings is going through my head right now. (You know which one I mean if you’ve seen the movie). I just discovered a new breed of evil spam. Now, they use your email address as the “from” address, as well as the “to” address. You can’t block your own email address if you’re in the habit of cc-ing yourself in on emails, which I do somewhat regularly. And since they left the subject blank, I thought maybe I’d forgotten to put the subject in the last email I copied to myself. Pure evil. Not that I can complain that much – I have several email addresses, and I only get maybe a dozen spam messages a day between all of my accounts.

When I’m not crafting…

…I’m reading about other people crafting! OK, the spider has been at the top of my blog for far too long… Between being busy at work and feeling icky, I just haven’t felt like blogging. I think it’s just allergies gone very awry, but it still sucks to not feel well just as the weather is starting to turn fall-like and wonderful. So, I’ve been reading a lot. I found a book at my local needlework shop about a month ago, and hadn’t read it yet – the shop owner talked me into buying it, but it’s a murder mystery, and I’ve never really been into mysteries. (Except that one year in grade school when I read the entire Nancy Drew series and the Hardy Boys series…) Well, I started reading it Monday night, and couldn’t put it down until I’d finished it – unfortunately, that was well after 1 a.m.. Yesterday on my way home from work, I stopped at Borders to see if they had any more books from the series and found two more – I’m halfway through one of them already. I had to force myself to stop reading at a reasonable hour so I could go to sleep. And, there are at least three more in the series that I haven’t been able to find yet. The main character owns a needlework shop, and reading about all the wonderful projects that people in the book are doing makes me want to craft – except I want to find out whodunit, so I can’t put the book down. What a pickle. :)
