Resident woman, Lany Mamlok, reflected earlier today about missing blogging via her myspace page.
"Sigh... I created this 'Resident Woman' blog so that I would own my blog, and not myspace... but I don't use it very often and am worried I may have locked myself into writing in the third person."
Additionally, Mamlok felt that myspace's popularity started to wean, in part, due to facebook and, "people seem to have actual work to do... not as many people were reading my posts or going to my page that often."
Mamlok re read some of her old posts this morning, with a happy appreciation for her writings. "It's not like I don't want to blog... I guess I just haven't been into it all that much."
Mamlok has decided to continue her blog via blogspot, but will not necessarily write in the third person.

Area Woman Lies about Being Canadian, Avoids DNC Contribution
In what some local residents are calling "not right", Elena (Lany) Mamlok lied about her nationality to eschew solicitation for donations to the Democratic National Committee.
"Oh, screw off!" Mamlok told the barrage of reporters who stormed her porch when the story broke.
Mamlok was approached at approximately 5:30 pm just as she arrived home from work. The DNC volunteer had gotten through the first line of his speil when Mamlok interjected, "I'm sorry -- I'm Canadian, I'm a student." When asked if she had a permanent resident card, she quickly responded, "No."
"I don't know... I mean, I guess it's possible that she's a student," said the deflated DNC Volunteer, "She does live in a good location to be a student at... maybe at Tufts, or Harvard... I mean, heck even BC if she doesn't mind the long commute."
When pressed, Mamlok had this to say, "... I was short on time and, you know what? I already give to the Human Rights Campaign, so I feel like that makes me a good liberal Bostonian."
Mamlok insists that she'll be voting for Obama this fall, and to prove her dedication, she's purchased a life-size cutout of Obama for an upcoming yard sale. "It's going to be awesome!" Mamlok said, giddily.

Company Intranet Still Down, Moral Even Lower
"It's slow as f***", employee Elena (Lany) Mamlok complained. "It's just ridiculous, and I can barely do any work."
Employees say that more than just the intranet is running at a snail's pace.
"Oh yeah, it's not just our internal site. It's just about any site I want to visit that will help me avoid doing work... except blogspot, for some odd reason," chimed an employee who wished to remain annonymous.
The company's IT Helpdesk reports they are still working on this issue.

Company Intranet Down, Moral Low
Cambridge, MA
The biggest upset of Elena (Lany) Mamlok's new career with Gxxxxxx Corporation came this morning, at approximately 8:05 AM when the company's intranet site failed to load properly.
"It's very frustrating. Half of my work for the day relied on the intranet, and the company directory -- and both are down," Mamlok exasperated.
Mamlok is not alone in her frustrations. The company's front desk receptionist also hit a snag when trying to access the site, "Yeah. It's not working," he intimated.
The IT Helpdesk is aware of the situation and are working on resolving the issue, however no other updates are available at this time.
"Well, seeing as I can only get half my work done, I should probably just call it a day at lunch," Mamlok deduced, "My colleagues are having the same issue and, as a group, we feel leaving early would be the smartest decision... I mean, why put even more stress on a system that's already over burdened?"

New Phone May Be Broken
Somerville, MA
In what some are calling a travesty of the iPhone, area woman, Elena (Lany) Mamlok, believes her hand me down iPhone may be broken.
"I have received a paltry number of phone calls and texts on my new phone over the past few days. Something's not right." Mamlok elaborated, "I mean, it makes no sense..."
Upon changing her phone number this past weekend, Mamlok alerted an alarming number of friends, family members, colleagues, rotary clubs, credit agencies, and the Cristos Pizza in Davis Square, of her new contact information.
"What I'm most concerned about is the phone's warranty. I mean, it's a year old... I assume the warranty is up... so, now I'm stuck with a bum iPhone?"
At the time of this printing, there have been no reports or statistics to verify iPhone reliability.
"Well, I don't care what statistics are out there. My phone is not working... and if I have to start a support group for others in similar situations, well, fine, I will!"

Area Woman Switches to 617
Somerville, MA
A quick decision made on Saturday, July 26, resulted in a new cellular phone number for Somerville resident, Elena (Lany) Mamlok. Bystanders say this change came about due to Mamlok receiving a gently used iPhone from her brother-in-law, Robert Westervelt, of Natick. Mamlok elected to change her phone number entirely, updating her area code to Boston's 617.
When asked to comment about the decision, Mamlok said, 'Well... it just made sense for me... the [right] time, the [right] place, the [right] area code, most of all.'
Mamlok's previous mobile phone number had been part of the (508) area code since 2002.
'You know, I was at Clark [University] and my parents bought me a phone for my birthday. And I did live in Worcester after graduating, so there was no need to change it then.'
When asked to elaborate on the decision, Mamlok stated, 'Well... to be honest, I was content with my 508 number. My brother-in-law gave me his old iPhone when he bought the new one and, since I had to switch service anyway, I thought I'd make the most of out this big change.'
Big change indeed. In a recent study of cellular phone customers, 12% of people between the ages of 27 - 27.5 years living in a 617 designated town reportedly used 508 area codes. Mamlok's new phone number brings that percentage down one whole point.
'... I realized that I'd been living in Somerville for over three years and am not making plans to move to the metro west area, at least not in the next year since I've signed a new lease. So... why not?'
Friends say this is just one of several changes [Mamlok] has made over the past 12 months, including (but not limited to) buying a car, deciding to move this coming September, switching jobs, and, most significantly, being in a happy relationship with Mandy Minichiello.
'Yeah... Lany is making some big changes', an anonymous source close to Mamlok said confidentially. 'I was shocked about the new phone number... and hurt that I didn't receive her text that she apparently sent to like 30 people.'
'It's true', Mamlok responded, 'I sent a text to the first 30 people (alphabetically listed) in my phone yesterday. And I didn't have a chance to send it to everyone else... actually, that's what prompted me to contact the press.'
Mamlok recalled when her sister and brother-in-law, Charna and Robert Westervelt, respectively, of Natick, changed their home phone from a 617 to a 508 area code. Mamlok stated it was a front page headline, thanks to her sister's connections in the news industry. 'That's where I got the idea... so thanks, Charn!'
Mamlok's new phone number effective immediately is 617-xxx-xxxx
