I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

A propos of nothing, hello. It's been ages since I've been here to check on shows, and it's nice to see everyone's pixels. eta: I could not resist, seeing it's under 200! etaa: or was, when I started.

My nephew the musician and his wife had a baby girl on the Pink Moon, last Friday. [link]

My brother is visiting from the east coast and my niece is here from Oregon with her boyfriend. Good times.

All the best to all y'all.

So this is strange - I'm not able to connect to a bunch of sites, like hulu, amazon, wordpress. But gmail and b.org? Connecting just fine. I've tried different browsers, different computers. Am tempted to try the coffee shop wifi (Verizon, I suspect you), but I have stuff I need to do before I can go outdoors. What's doin', Internets?

Because books.

Yeah, I can't get to the site where I pay for the kids' lunch -- oops. Or Amazon. Hmmm.

Last night, at least here, nowhere local could process anything electronic, either. Not the grocery store or WaWa or anywhere.

Amy, are you on Verizon too? It sounds like an area Verizon router is having a wee freakout. I hope they can fix it soon.

Yeah, I am. Weird.

I thought I'd let them know - apparently, I am 25th in the call queue and wait time is about 45 minutes. So.

Looks like they had to manually reboot something. My side of the interwebs is working now.

Only two months late, I finally finished the first draft of my resume! Anyone with a tech background want to take a look at it?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I promise not to do too much pet spamming today. maybe.

mac had a night of bad choices. I learned that he did not take inhomework yesterday, so we found it and then saw it was less than half finished, but he refused to work on it. He wouldn't turn off electronics when asked, go to bed when told. He ate a package of peeps and then prompted by an email I discover that for the last 2 weeks he has been having ice cream and cookies in addition to his lunch EVERY DAY! some days only the sweets. so after he finally goes to bed, electronics get disabled. I get him up the morning earlier than our normal so he will have time to do some of the homework - feet drrrraaaaagggggg all morning so very little gets done. He very likely will fail one or two classes this grading period, not for lack of understanding or knowledge, just refusal to do the work.
