Today is Sweetmorn, day 29 in the season of The Aftermath, 3167.

I have to stop going to the pet store up in Rockville. I fell completely in love with one of the bunnies there yesterday. I think it might've been a Holland Lop, although I have a sneaking suspicion it might've instead been a very young French Lop (big size difference there, 4 lbs vs. 11 lbs, that's the kind of thing you'd want to be sure of before buying). He was busy pestering the other two bunnies in the cage, who spent most of the time I was watching them trying to keep their backs up against the cage wall. I think it's probably my duty to go get the bunny to let the other two get some rest. (See Cathy rationalize. Rationalize, Cathy, rationalize!) Hope he's still there when I have a job and can afford to buy all the bunny start-up stuff (i.e. a big cage). Pets are so much better than children.

So this high-volume technical mailing list I'm on has got some sort of mail glitch. In the last 15 hours, I've received 500+ copies of the same messages over and over again, mostly in batches of 150-200 at a time. And within some of those batches (posts from Thursday through today), individual messages are sometimes repeated 6 or 8 times. Ugh. No word from the list owner about it as of yet either. I already wrote the hosting company's support address to see if they could perhaps DO SOMETHING ALREADY.

Hrm. Never mind. The headers all have a common Received: line, showing every post as orginating from a particular server that is not either the list machine or the original poster's server. Someone at the Sisters of Notre Dame seems to be bouncing every single message back to the list. Not hosting company's fault, but I can't email the list owner to point this out because the mailbox is full. Procmail is about to become my new best friend. I'm such a nerd, debugging problems with mailing lists that I don't even own.
