Timelies all!
Mr. S didn't get up until 9 this morning, so we slept in a bit. No real plans for the weekend here.
Gimme some milk.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

We went on our first college visit with Casper this morning! She is a junior. We visited Miami U., which she is not actually interested in attending, because it seemed like a good thing to practice at a local, low-stakes place.
Casper's take, which I know at least Teppy should find hilarious: "It was nice, but it was way too white for me." (In Miami's defense, it's not their fault we got a fratty white business major who went to St. X in Cincinnati, and also happened to be there the morning of sorority rush, so many women in uggs and formalwear and highly-done hair were dashing around campus in the snow.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! Miami so white. My junior- and senior-year roommate was Taiwanese, and our joke was that I should tell my parents "Oh my god, I'm rooming with *the* minority student!"

Oh lord, sorority rush.

Our wings are not tired.
Huh, my nephew in NY texted me to ask if I had internet trying to determine how widespread the outage was and it looks like the whole NE is affected. eta: Upstate NY, Maine, New Hampshire

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
What outage? (Lives in NE, not having any issues... so far.)

Ah, it looks like it's Charter-Spectrum, not Cox, for the most part.
Edited to add: actually, it appears to be a DDOS attack on one particular DNS system. Not just the NE, but also LA and Chicago affected.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm on Spectrum, and I'm fine. I'm using Google's DNS, though.
