One Less Thing To Worry About <-- Update: Wrong
► My buddy Dran rocks! After months of aggressively annoying tabs auto opening in Firefox, along with extraneous Firefox processes opening in Task Manager, we finally got it to stop tonight. The problems all started in mid December, and we've tried to figure it out several times since (Dran used to work in IT) but couldn't figure out what was causing it or how to stop it.
Yesterday he had me disable some add-ons but that didn't work. Tonight he had me check my Firefox plugins, and disable two of them: Pando Web Plugin and Zylom Plugin (neither of which I remember installing, nor do I have any idea what they're for). I haven't had any problems in the hours since. Thank goodness, and thank you Dran!Dran: :-,
Dran: :-. o O (I wonder if I should have thought of this idea earlier.)
Update: Started up the computer and got back online late in the afternoon, and low and behold the phantom Firefox processes and dreaded "u" addressed tabs are back. Fuckers.
► I'm feeling a lot better now than I did last evening. Seems like I really did have indigestion but I'm fine now. My vertigo has subsided and I'm now only mildly dizzy. Annoying, but manageable and even preferable to the past few days. What I'm really looking forward to is the day when I'll realize that I haven't talked about, thought about, or felt dizzy in a few days, and that it's all passed. Hopefully that day will be soon and sometime this week!
Until then, I've been drinking an awful lot of water tonight, and boy do I keep having to piss. At this point I don't know if I think my vertigo has anything to do with dehydration, but I figure maybe the extra water will help me flush, fight or "re-balance" whatever is causing it. Until then I'm going to have to get used to the increased bathroom visits.

Derek: gal is acting mind controlled
Derek: camera woman is holding a device that's supposed to be the controller
Derek: "Turn right"

► EOnline: Charlize Theron Talks Michael Fassbender's Junk: "I'm Available to Work With It Any Time!" - Now don't get me wrong, I do find this funny, but I can't help but wonder what the reaction would be, especially from Charlize, if it was Michael Fassbender making the comments about her sex organs. The media would be after him with pitchforks and camera lights.
► Damon Lindelof and Ridley Scott say they took the 'Alien' prequel out of 'Prometheus' - At this point whether Prometheus is a prequel to Alien or not doesn't matter to me as long as it's just a good movie.
► Carrie Stars Left Stained By Fake Blood - You'd think someone would have had the brains to test the prop blood before trying it on the actual performers. Oh, and this?The production has been rebooted off-Broadway in New York...
Fuck off, it's a stage adaption. Buzzword using asshats.
► Sheen's Ex-goddess Shoots Sexy Viral Video To Support Kony 2012 Movement - From the article:Charlie Sheen's former 'goddess' girlfriend Bree Olson has posted a bizarre new video online featuring footage of her writhing around on a California beach as images of war brutality in Uganda are flashed onto the screen.
Um... what?
I'll give her the benefit of a doubt and assume it wasn't her intention, but it really sounds like Bree Olson's video is a horribly inappropriate attempt at self promotion through the exploitation of real life atrocities. I'd rather assume she's a dumb blonde and just that naive, than actually that narcissisticly cold and attention whoring.[Kony 2012 director Jason Russell] was arrested in San Diego, California following reports he was drunk in public and allegedly masturbating and vandalising cars.
Russell has been transferred to a mental hospital for his own safety.
His wife Danica has blamed her husband's apparent meltdown on the unexpected popularity of his Kony 2012 film, and the criticism he has been subjected to as a result of the video, which has been viewed by almost 100 million people around the world.
Um... WHAT?
I don't even know where to begin with that.
