A few top 10 lists about econ

I know've posted some of these bits before, but I just felt like posting them again. Here are a few top 10 lists with my comments in italics.

Top 10 Reasons To Study Economics

1. economists are armed and dangerous: "watch out for our invisible hands." --such a creepy thought!
2. economists can supply it on demand
3. you can talk about money without ever having to make any. --clearly the case for us grad students
4. you get to say "trickle down" with a straight face.
5. Mick Jagger and Arnold Schwarzenegger both studied economics and look how they turned out.
6. When you are in the unemployment line, at least you will know why you are there. --just doing your part as part of the nat'l level of unemployment
7. if you rearrange the letters in "ECONOMICS", you get "COMIC NOSE".
8. Although ethics teaches that virtue is its own reward, in economics we get taught that reward is its own virtue.
9. When you get drunk, you can tell everyone that you are just researching the law of diminishing marginal utility.
10. When you call 1-900-LUV-ECON and get Kandi Keynes, you will have something to talk about.

Ten Things To Do With A Graduate Economics Textbook

1. press pretty flowers. --works as well trying to flatten something

4. leave out in obvious places to impress unimformed undergraduates.
5. mail to the White House as an intimidation tactic.
6. give it a walk-on part in a boring European existentialist play.

9. read it (hahaha!!!) --how sad...
10. get a refund from bookstore so you can buy a weekend's supply of beer.

about yahoo

Hello!

I've texted some of you already, but for those I do not have the luxury of knowing your cell numbers, I want to inform you all that my yahoo account has been hacked and that whoever it is that is using it, is trying to scam you all into buying them some globe credits.

Please ignore the said individual! I have contacted Yahoo about it and for reasons beyond me, they don't seem to understand the problem. They've replied saying that I can simply reset the password by clicking on the link to do so.

I still haven't created another yahoo account so I can log back into yahoo messenger. I am sorry for the inconveniece or the trouble caused by the hacker using my name.

Goofing around...

Tina came over a few days ago and we decided to play with the photo booth application (i got myself a mac desktop). This is what came out of it.

I'm still trying to figure my way around my new computer. It does take some time getting used to the commands. Can't wait to get parallel desktop running so I can start using certain windows applications again. Hehehe! =)

yahoo problems...

I just got home an hour or two ago, and for some reason I am having problems logging on to my yahoo messenger. At first, I thought it was one of those instances when YM is just down and its not available.

But then I try to access my email accounts and I get the message, "invalid password". What the?!?! To think just a few hours ago I was able to access my yahoo account while at work, and now its saying that I have an invalid password!

I am really annoyed cause, I've tried resetting my password and nothing seems to work. I've already emailed yahoo customer service hoping that they can do something. I'm not sure if it'll be successful. It's just so frustrating! What a way to end the day...
