Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Lady on support now is telling me the reason I can't get to imdb.com is because of a problem on their end. Now, despite the fact that I told her I've had intermittent problems getting to google.com and amazon.com and apache.org, the imdb.com problem is definitely them.

Why? Because she can't get to it either from where she sits.

As I was trying to point out--THE PROBLEM IS NOT COMING FROM INSIDE MY HOUSE. If a Road Runner redirect page tells me that the page doesn't exist (and people can get to the site from other networks), it's a Road Runner problem.

Poor thing got all flustered. But at least she's put me on hold. Once I told her I could get to imdb.com from my phone.

I really resent the idea that job #1 is to prove that it's my fault. Because she was really fighting that battle. Her apologies seemed sincere, but it didn't have to get somewhere she needs to say sorry.

Hmm. Space bar on the reassembled Mac is hinky. Now I need to pay attention.

I blew out the motor on my popcorn popper! I can't live like this.

Skipping oh-so-much to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Gloomcookie's birthday.

Happy birthday, GC! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Punishingly Intricate

Happy Birthday, GC!!!! I wish you everything SUGAR today!

People comment all the time about my band being a "girl" band. Uh..yeah...except for the dude on guitar. It's irritating to me, even when I know the person saying it thinks it's something cool and makes them inclined to enjoy our show, because there's such a whiff of "ooh it's like monkeys driving cars" or something about the observation.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Birthday Glamcookie!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy Glam-day, Gloomcookie! Happy Gloom-day, Glamcookie!!

Monkeys. And their cars.

When I fired up the TV this morning it was sitting on a an infomercial (oh, the joyride a TiVo brings) for "Debt Cures They Don't Want You To Know About."

What's the deal with that? Raising your credit scores by 100+ points? Lowering your interest rates by 20 odd %. That stuff work? $29.95 with a money back guarantee? It all looks like major voodoo. And if it does work, why is there a Playboy Bunny on the panel of women being presented to?

Sugar day, Glam!
