and in my spare time, i blog at debbiedowner.com
01. My feelings on the Megaupload/Filesonic/Fileserve/Etc debacle are thusly:
It's still a suckerpunch whenever I run across/think about something else that's been reduced to nothing but a dead link now. I feel like I need to wallow in one of those In Memoriam compilation vids a la the Oscars with all the names of the fallen sharing sites and comms to a song by Celine Dion. And like, all of fandom could applaud after each logo appeared, even the ones with really shitty download time, just so we don't feel guilty later about playing favorites. And then we'd get drunk and party. I NEED CLOSURE OKAY.
02. a) Speaking of... rawr_caps <---HOLY CAPSLOCK WHAT HAPPENED. D: I only just discovered it was missing last night. I noticed grande_caps has sprung up to fill the gap (YAY!), but I'm still bummed. I found a tumblr statement about the deletion, but it, er, didn't really clear up anything for me? I think because I maybe missed a good-bye post/warning. By the time I arrived on scene, everything from their LJ to the website and tumblr was gone. So I'm assuming it had to do with the whole Megaupload clusterfuck above.
b) fuckyeahmarkandeduardo is gone. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I'M LEGIT DISTRAUGHT AND SHIT ABOUT THIS YOU GUYS. I FELL MONTHS BEHIND AND MISSED SO MUCH AND NOW IT'S GONE FOREVER AND I'LL NEVER GET TO CATCH UP AND I FEEL LIKE POST-DEPOSITIONS!WARDO RIGHT NOW I NEED A HUG OKAY. :((((((((
c) And the hits keep on coming. Oh my god, alexoloughlinrocks.com is closing. I'll be the girl latched onto its leg, trying to not let it leave as it drags me across the floor. It's too early! I'm not used to sites vanishing so soon into a series! Maybe--MAYBE--I'd be more stiff upper lip about it all if this were happening five years after the show's end and even then I'd still have separation anxiety (hi, billion QaF sites I still miss), but omg. We're only on S2! (Well, I'm still catching up with this season, but that's not the point here aldkjfa.) I'M NOT PREPARED FOR THIS. D: (I totally understand/respect her reasons, btw.) Aw, well. I shall miss you, AOLR. ♥ At least now I know what I'll be doing this weekend. *readies external HD and right-click finger*
03. So, Chuck ends tonight and, dude, talk about not being prepared. I've been ridiculously attached to this show for FIVE YEARS and this season has been so much fun and has made me lololol 239843986761 times and I love everybody and I'm just not ready to say good-bye and not have Chuck and Sarah and Casey and Morgan and Awesome and Ellie around any more for new adventures. :'(
04. Roger lost the other night at the Australian Open to Rafa and, okay, to be fair, I knew going in that no matter who won that semi, I was gonna be super sad for the loser and super happy for the winner, cos that's how I roll with these two, but still wasn't prepared for how sad I would be. Roger's little :( face as he walked off the court and just. Man. It was hard. In other news, THE FEDERERBBS ARE SO BIG AND CUTE OMG.
And Rafa is still the most adorkable thing ever cos when asked what advice he'd give Murray to help him beat Djokovic, he said it was to play more aggressive than normal--and then laughed, "That's my advice, but my advice is not worth very much because I lost the last six matches against [Djokovic]. :DDDDDD" ILU RAFA. ♥
05. Oscars snub Fassy; are officially dead to me too, dammit. I was actually awake when the live announcements were being made and was happily waiting for his picture/name to pop up during Best Actor--AND THEN IT DIDN'T. What the fucking fuck, man. Charlize not being on there either is making me grouchy. Granted, I haven't seen Young Adult yet, but when I wanted her to get nommed just from seeing the previews, I'm pretty sure that means she was robbed, yo.
In conclusion: HAI HAI HAI, 2012! WAY TO SUCK SO FAR, SHINY NEW YEAR.
