Eve

and now a word from my other personality. let's call her Eve...

Pssst.

Listen.

So she said she's going to give away her JavaOne bag for Friday Free Stuff this week. But she's got this huge shopping bag in here full of stuff she got at JavaOne -- think she'll throw in any of that stuff too?

The leather Kenneth Cole PDA case is really nice. What about that watch?

No, not the watch. I think the battery is dead. Maybe she'll go buy a new battery. Nah, she'll probably just give it away and pretend she didn't know the battery was dead.

Hey, wait, there's a javablogs.com t-shirt in here.

She got it at the blogger party at the Thirsty Bear. No way she'll part with that.

And what's she going to use for a trivia question, anyway? She's not going back to those ridiculous formulas of hers, is she?

formula

Unlikely. It's reorg time. It might offend somebody she's going to need to work with. She's too crafty to do something like that.

But what's she going to do for a trivia question? The Dr. Josh news hit her like a ton of bricks.

Do you think she can manage to hold on to Click and Hack the type-it brothers given recent developments?

Maybe she'll pull some lame-o stunt like asking a question you'd only know the answer to if you went to that JavaLive chat she keeps pushing. Impossible. That thing is not happening until the 17th. But what about that RFID chat. That's today. You don't really think she would do that, do you?

Wait! I hear her. She's coming back.

Listen. I know we just met, but I need you to know I'm nothing like her.  I capitalize. I punctuate. I spell check. I'm nothing like her....


so i know there was something i wanted to tell you guys but for the life of me i can't think what it is.

it will come to me.

For those of you who don't get the "Eve" personality thing, take a look at movie, "Three Faces of Eve" from 1957.
Am I right, Mary?
