10 minute mail account...


Did you ever find yourself wanting to register an account somewhere, and that somewhere asked for your e-mail address to confirm something? You know you’re gonna get spammed by doing it, but you don’t have any choice - you need that account now!
That’s where the 10 minute mail comes in handy. Go there, register an account (a random one will be provided), the confirmation will come, and you won’t have any problem registering your account. After that - the e-mail is just deleted, no questions asked... :-)

Side effect


After a very funny and wicked "Running with Scissors"and a moving but still attractive "Dry" I am running into trouble with the new books of Augusten Burroughs: "Magical Thinking" and especially: "Possible Side effects". We know by now what kind of youth Augusten has had, so why bother and exploit it again and again? I think I will stop with Augusten for a while and try something else instead.
