harvard early-acceptance emails were blocked by spam filters at aol. that's pretty funny.

oh, apparently i only need about five minutes of sleep each night. i fell asleep for a few minutes watching for a few dollars more (which isn't really a comment on the movie, just how tired i was), and now can't get back to sleep again. i find it humorous that sergio leone was sometimes credited as bob robertson.
