The "Top 10 biggest mistakes to make if you're sued by the RIAA"

#10 - Calling the judge a tool of big entertainment.
#9 - Using the screen name IH8theRIAA on Gnutella.
#8 - Arguing that what you downloaded can hardly be considered music.
#7 - Putting a video on MySpace showing yourself downloading copyrighted music.
#6 - Stalking Britney Spears to "try to get her to sign a release."
#5 - Arguing that there were no copyright notices on the songs you downloaded. (Actually...?)
#4 - Explaining that you're from the future, in a time when the copyrights had already expired.
#3 - Telling the judge that you only downloaded music so you could afford crack. For your kids. Because they get so cranky without it.
#2 - Putting your Blackberry down just long enough to explain to the judge that you're a technophobe.
#1 - Arguing that you were only using the downloads as backups for all your copied CDs.

My window mounted AC unit has crapped out. No more AC for me. Could have been worse, this could have happened back in June or July. Got a fan going right now so I have some airflow, but it's not the same. But hey, at least it's getting cooler. I should be fine until next May, at which point, I probably will spring for the apartment building to install a new one. (You see, since I own this AC unit, I can't get them to repair it. They don't have an obligation to do so. They will replace it, but that's another $15 a month, and I just can't see the justification for it as we head into Fall.)

Yes, I do indeed have the last half of October off. This is going to be the longest vacation I've taken since I started working at Kinko's, almost six years ago.

And no, right now, I don't plan on going anywhere. One part of that is that I really can't afford to go where I want to go, and the other is that I don't want to go where I can afford to go. Plus, the lack of a car really puts the kibosh on most vacation plans.

So, in other words, for the last half of October, my ass will be sending down taproots into my computer chair. :P
