It amuses me that this is sent from a telstra.com e-mail account (Telstra = THE phone service provider for Australia for those who don't know). I'm getting the feeling this is one of those stupid attempts at being cryptic launched by Warner Brothers because I signed up to beta-test The Matrix Online (I don't wanna do it any more...does that matter?). Like that website they had up for Metacortex, the company Neo worked for in the first movie. It was just a stupid waste of time for a game that probably won't be any good (though I liked the whole company employee index having a file not uploaded/missing/otherwise unavailable for an Anderson, Thomas A. because I'm a nerd like that).
In other news: I AM GOING TO PASS OUT, IT IS SO FREAKIN' HOT IN HERE AND I AM GOING TO FAIL CHINESE CIV IF I DON'T START RESISTING THE SYREN LURE OF LJ!!!
