My computer has an STD

*Sigh* You read it correctly, yes, an STD.

How you ask? Well, since I am in a career crisis and the current state of our economy is not so conducive to starting anew, I had to figure out some creative ways to avoid eviction. I saw this too-good-to-be-true Craigslist posting looking for writers/bloggers/reviewers for "adult dating sites," which I initially -- and naively -- thought were sites like eharmony or match.com. Haha. Stupid, right?

Anyway, turns out they wanted me to review porn sites ... you know, "find a sex partner in your city today!" type of sites. I popped into one of them to check it out, figuring I'd just write a review and see what happens. I like porn and I like to write ... and I don't mind finding a new sex partner, so why not check it out? All made a lot of sense in my head at the time.

BIG MISTAKE. My computer is now under attack from various viruses ... yikes. Not to worry, lucky for me, I got to take home the laptop I used during the Obama campaign whilst in Ohio (courtesy of the campaign) that has a clean bill of health.

New lesson for the week: you need to practice safe sex even in the internet world.
