1) Seriously, I don't think I'd realized just how fucked my browser was until tonight when I'm using it and it's fixed again. This is like Christmas for me ( Read more... )

1) Oh my god, my internet works again.

I mean, it was working before, but the lag time on my browser was so extreme I was poking at it frantically trying to understand why I couldn't type more than half a sentence at a time without it needing to buffer. So I went ahead and did my twice-yearly uninstall of programs and add-ons that I don't use and ( Read more... )

Everyone's been doing these end-of-year roundup things, and I would feel like such a nonconformist if did not as well. Peer pressure, yo ( Read more... )

Never having been inside a grocery store on Christmas Eve, I didn't realize how much of a clusterfuck it would be. And I had to go in not once but twice, because the first time I got all of my stuff and then realized that I'd forgotten the recipe for the double layer pumpkin pie I'm supposed to be making, and I had to go back. Similarly, the ABC ( Read more... )

By tomorrow at seven o'clock, I have to finish reading an eighty-page book about why the Lost Cause version of history is bullshit and write a four-page critical analysis about a book I hated ( Read more... )
