today in unfortunate yet amazing errors, Freddie edition

So if you look down at my last post, you'll see a link under "constant violence." This was supposed to be a link to this piece from the NYT, which details the nature of current violence in Iraq. Unfortunately, it isn't. I'm part of that generation which has had its collective mind warped by the Internet who can't do one thing at a time, but has to have twelve tabs going with three different writing projects at once. I was sending a friend an IM, and I intended to send the link that ended up being attached to "constant violence" to her, and to attach the NYT link to "constant violence" in that post. And, well, I failed.

Now, if you click that link, you'll find that it's a particularly unhappy mix, as violence in Iraq is of course the most serious business. I really regret the error.

The open question is whether the link I sent in the IM-- which I preceded by saying "this is hilarious"-- is the one I had intended, or the NYT link about Iraqi violence. Chances are it's the link from the LA Weekly and I just used both by accident, but I'm afraid there's a chance it was the link from the NYT.

She hasn't gotten back to me since.
