And now I regret getting rid of all my firewire cables. I found a music player of Hubby's that's got his driving mix on it. It's still got a charge after two years, but the power socket looks like firewire (fyrewire?) The mini-usbs certainly don't fit it. I bet the thrift stores have some.

Oh, and housemate is off to Minneapolis to try his dream of vocal stardom at The Voice tryouts. I've actually never heard him sing. I hope they don't humiliate him. But I've got the house to myself for a week.

Poured so hard, main roof downspout was shooting out 4 feet. And yet no leaks.

Also hard rain here, I kind of like the sound.

I bleached and then dyed streaks in my hair. One side made it to the bright blue I wanted. One side ended up teal. Wtf, hair?!? Ugh.

Fuckity, I'm taking care of my neighbor's cats and the Tribble broke out of the house overnight. Busted out the locked kitty-door. He *usually* comes back in the evening, but he's never been left locked in the house for days before. And they aren't back for another week.

Caaaaaat.

Got up early to find my subway was all fucked up, so I took two buses to work instead. It took longer than the normal commute, but maybe less than the fucked-up subway would have. And I had a nice walk through a pleasant plaza. Last day before vacation!!!!

I don't know what happens before people get on the TV portion of The Voice but I've never seen a "joke" singer on the air. Not like American Idol.

And holy fucking shit, our developers and chief engineers have come to the conclusion that we've basically hit a hard limit on our infrastructure and configurations that they never anticipated. I'm a little puzzled as to why it started showing symptoms when it did, but...

This is Not Good.

developers are nerds (no shock). Apparently the secret code name for our next version is Vibranium.

Have you already had Adamantium, or is that next?

Ay yi yi yi, Britain.
