God damn it all to hell

My credit card numbers have somehow been released into the wild. Thank gods that I’m one of the people that check my online statements and was able to catch it before the numbers hit commas…but the fact remains that I had to cancel my credit cards, which is just going to royally fuck up my life for a few weeks. Plus, I can’t figure out how they got out there.

Has anyone else seen fraudulent charges from Sykpe.net, handango or Pluto Data show up on their credit card bills? If so, let’s try and figure out what vendors/merchants/sites we may have in common, so we can track down who’s database has been hacked.

My list of suspects include: Netflix, Amazon, 1&1.com, Blizzard, Sony, and Yahoo shopping. Netflix is my biggest suspect, since the charges started rolling in just days after I signed up.

Baby gots da blues

So, the boy has finger paints. Who knew the boy had figured out how to get in the paint box AND how to open the paints? Silly mommy left the room for, I swear to you, less than 4 minutes. I came back to a blue child. Somehow, in under five minutes, he’d become a Pict. Or Mel Gibson. Either way, he was blue.

To cap off the blues experience, as we were leaving the game room to go wash the blue off, Aretha Franklin came on PBS. And the Boy said “Wait, WAIT!” And I said, “what?”. He replied…”Queen of Soul! I wants to see the Queen of Soul!” Now, you and I know that Aretha is the Queen of Soul…but how on earth did my 2 year old, know that she is, indeed, the Q of S? (Although, ya know, to give him props…he *did* have the blues…all over him.)
