I could so easily do that, if you don’t include clothes, because ew, gross.
All I actually need is:
Crosscut shredder (it will change your life)
Soda Stream (it’s the next best thing to a reticulated beverage system)
Espresso Machine
iPhone
Macbook
4 condoms (better be reusable if I have to reuse them for the rest of my life)
Toothbrush
So, yeah. That shit is easy.

Certain things frighten me. I tell my girlfriend what they are. That’s a frightening thing to do.

So great.
Also this one:

Person on end of phone: Oh. Um. Can't say. I haven't really spent that much time on your website.
Me: Then I am not even remotely interested in talking to you. Bye.

“It certainly makes sense that lots of people around India use Hotmail for all...”

Want to know who is giving your email to spammers?
Can’t remember where I first saw this, but it’s super handy.
Do you have gmail or google hosted apps? Well when you fill in an online form that wants your email do this:
Instead of username@domain.com, write “username+<wordyouchoosetodefinethatsite>@domain.com.
For example if registering at Flickr use username+flickr@domain.com.
Emails will still come to you (gmail...
