NYT hates me. I can't get it to work. Poo.

So we went with Babel Fish for the German translation, and I quickly ran out of there and called it a day.

Only to come home to find out that I caused family drama by posing the following question on my brother's facebook: "Why do you look like Justin Timberlake auditioning for 'Aviator 2'?" Apparently, I irritated/hurt my brother's feelings by comparing him to Justin Timberlake, and my mom wanted to know why I had to be so mean to my brother all the time, and she certainly did not see any resemblance (note: my brother REALLY looks like Justin Timberlake, especially from certain angles, of which this picture was one). To which my answer was ????? Since when is it a bad thing to be compared to JT? I think he's awesome. But I guess I'm not down with what the kids are listening to these days.

Then my cat managed to poor the last of my Brita'd water into my purse and onto my new suede boots while I was distracted by the phone.

Ugh.

I can't get it to work. Poo.

Mac? Won't work on mine.

You understand German people will want you dead, right?

Sorry about the other stuff.

Yep. Mac. I'll have to try it at work.

It worked on mine.

NYT crashes my dumb work browser regularly. Or, actually, every time. I can only watch at home. Mac 10.5.6.

I hate hate hate sites that crash even the littlest bit old browsers. I mean, I get it, but at the same time, I've been bludgeoned by an employer who has frozen out employees from crucial required work sites with that kinda crap, which is insane bullshit.

That graphic won't work on my Mac either.

You understand German people will want you dead, right?

Yup! But it is only four sentences, I tried to explain that to the people at work, most of whom had never heard of Babel Fish (to which I was like, really???) and were therefore really impressed by this magic website, and I realized I cared more about finally going home (technically only an hour and a half after I'm supposed to!) than trying all the people I already tried to see if anyone knew anyone who knew some German.

And I am not scared of the deaf German people who will be too busy watching the special about The Doors to hunt me down.

it worked on my mac.

and now to bed.

Gnyarg. I really do need an antenna for PBS when the weather is rough. It was fine Sat & Sun, but is wonky tonight. I miss my snowy picture. Strength is 100%, quality is shit.

That reminds me of when I lived in Bennington, VT and only got one network (NBC I think) and could get Fox only if I held the rabbit ears out the window, but I got three, yes 3, different PBS stations.

I love the bloom of SPRINGSTEEN!
