the Tom delay thing - made me furious.
Luckily,I could look again at Theo amongst the giraffes.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
P-C, that's from Hollywood AD, the one that ended on the film set.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It strikes me that I'm like one of those sad experimental pigeons, pecking repeatedly at the refresh button in hopes that LJ will give me an update this time:
Update #4: 9:12 am: We're back at it. We'll have the site up soon in some sort of crippled state while the clusters with the oldest backups continue to catch up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hee. Glad to please, Lee.
Okay, off to beat people's heads in.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Have good violence.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Katie, how are you doing? I have not said anything to you since the Deathmatch finished.
Well, I've been a little pouty, 'cause you've been ignoring me...
No, no, that's not true. I'm good. Looking forward to a long weekend with nothing in particular to do. I just finished setting up a trip to Costa Rica in April, so I'm still feeling pretty jazzed about that. (Wanna go tomorrow! Well, maybe not tomorrow.) Work is... still there. How about you?

Bwah! I know it's probably just a coincidence, but within a couple days of the buyout announcement I got e-mails telling me that my paid subscription was coming to an end, and it got cancelled last night when it should have lasted until tomorrow judging from the info in the first e-mail. No biggie since I wanted to rethink my icons for the new year anyway, but both events combined with the big server roast are not filling me with confidence in the new ownership.

The co-lo hadn't changed. Given what I know about the specific co-lo in question's construction (it's located in Paul's old building, and in terms of their actual tech and backups, is top-notch), it sounds like a case of Massive Human Error on Internap's part. Or on the part of the construction crews supposedly working on the second floor. I'm tempted to have Paul call friends who still work in the building so as to get the inside scoop.
What amuses me is that when LJ went down, I did my typical connection check. The first three sites I checked were also down, so I was thinking it was something to do with my connection. But no, it just happens that my Three Site Check happened to be three sites ALL running out of the same co-lo as LJ.
