I HATE that Google bought Yahoo and now I can't be signed in to one of my e-mails at the same time as the other, and have two Youtube accounts, and so forth. And it feels like I'm one accidental click away from consolidating all my online accounts and identities together, which I Do Not Want.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
The Alhambra was amazing but huge and overwhelming. I am currently curled up under a blanket while the girls go for icecream. I spent 15EU to get a load of laundry done and it will be worth every penny to have clean pjs and tshirts, after 2 ridiculous overnight transits. (I am too old for The Night Bus, people.)
Still sick, but i have managed to mostly keep up with the girls, helped by frequent cafe stops for 'te classico'.
Tomorrow, some shopping, maybe a museum, and then Sunday it's off to Barcelona.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I HATE that Google bought Yahoo
Thinko, or news I haven't heard?

Muahaha! We may yet be internet killers!!!!!
I like to point out that I've never killed anyone with either a fiberglass handled axe or a Poulon chainsaw.

Oh, I hear you. I have had endless problems trying to sign-in to a Flickr account with a Yahoo username I set up when the Buffista emergency island was on Yahoo Groups and haven't used since. It tells me I can log in with Google instead, then demands I log in with Yahoo. The last time I tried to reset my password, it made me wait 24 hours. I was about to move to Picasa, but hey! that's owned by Google too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I see what you did there!

Suela, I'm sorry you're sick, but it sounds like you're having a wonderful time!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Chiming in with the hate of everything being owned by Google. I've pretty much stopped using anything that demands I have a Google account. I don't WANT a Google account. I've been mad at them since they took my Gmail account away, years ago.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Look, Buffistas have been visiting each other for many years now, and there have been very few mysterious disappearances. Statistically, we're a very non-murderous group.

Seriously, people, when did Google buy Yahoo? Just because you can log in with your Google account doesn't mean one owns the other--you can log in with your FB account too, and they aren't owned by any company.
What am I missing?
