8 people killed in Iraq this Morning

Eight killed in Iraq suicide attack: security sources

MOSUL: At least eight people were killed and 20 wounded in a suicide truck bombing in Iraq's restive northern city of Mosul on Friday, security sources told.

The blast occurred in the southern part of Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed al-Juburi told. An interior ministry official said at least eight people were killed.

Despite repeated Iraqi-US operations in Mosul, the city is still gripped by a strong insurgency, in part due to a complex Kurd, Sunni and Christian mix but also because of tribal rivalries.

This is kind of crazy.

Twitter Catastrophe from April 1!

Well, I changed my Twitter password. I don't really care if Twitter wants to add a billion people following me but I don't want to follow hundreds of people. That defeats the purpose of having a feed for people I want to follow; if there are too many people updating on it I might as well just go to "Everyone" and start there. I changed my password yesterday let's see if my amount of followers and friends stays manageable.
At first I did not really care that weird things were going on with my Twitter account because it is not like what I wrote and/or responded to was ever maimed. THAT would have annoyed me.
Remember when my myspace account got taken over by someone pretending to be me. I stopped using myspace and ofcourse someone noticed and used it. I sent "I have a crush on you, click here!" messages to all of my myspace "friends". A girl at work told me what was going on or I would have never known. Now I basically just go on myspace to make sure I am the only one using my account and to check out peoples' music and show dates. I think for music it is a good networking site.
Here are a couple of screen shots (above, top of this post) taken throughout the day on April 1 as I watched my Twitter networking numbers change dramatically throughout the day. I did this to have proof such April 1 pranks went on. (So people do not think I am nuts).
Happy Belated April 1!

I am about to download it. Will write about it later. Hopefully it will make me happy and not be a joke which I first considered it may be.
