oooh Bobbi! I did not know that. It should go in Spoilage Lite!
I'll go find the link when whedonesque.org comes back up. I haven't been able to get there all day.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Oh, look, a potential Cat 5 hurricane in the Gulf. As if I haven't already been putting in hell hours here at work. Dean, I hate to wish it on Mexico, but really, a southern road trip would do you good.

My current least favorite web ads, aside from any and all dancing silhouette mortgage ads (which can occasionally crash my browser), are the creepy, voyeuriffic Match.com watching-through-a-web-cam ads.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
there's some pop-up on yahoo mail today that keeps trying to make me install something.
Oh, me too. That's kind of reassuring.

Since it's my work PC as well, I just assumed it was because the firm had failed to install part of Office because of cheapness.
I have Access installed on my machine, and yet still many ads try to install it again anyway. Occasionally it crashes IE. Which is super irritating, as IE doesn't have a session-saver extension.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My current least favourite ads are the ones with the naked butts with smiley faces. The hell? Trying to fly under the radar with the surfing, thanks.

Oh, crap, it's increasing in strength? Even though I have more friends in TX than Mexico, I might still urge it to land in the former, because the poor Mexicans have less strong infrastructure and even less responsive government than FEMA.

If Dean hits the US, my company (tech support for insurance adjuster software) goes on mandatory overtime. And we've already been short handed and I've been pulling 10-hour days as it is. I'm a wee bit punchy.
Ideally, Dean should just give a big ol' sigh and deflate.

Yeah, I can see how that particular ad could cause surfing difficulties at work.
Still, I like that one. It's an ad for a home bidet system, I believe.

The current five-day cone at least has it clear of New Orleans, which is my big concern. Let it hit here if it needs to.
