Jan. 19th, 2005 05:37 pmI did that quiz that everyone on my flist has done, about the Harry Potter alter-ego. And I got my results, and the first two sentences read as follows: Your alter ego is Hermionie Granger. Your one intelligent witch.
AIRasg'iah'g! Maybe this is just me being a grammar Nazi again, but your instead of you're literally makes my fingers clench up. My. ABSOLUTE. BIGGEST. pet peeve. I don't mind the occasional typo, but the person who wrote this quiz made that mistake repeatedly(In ways like "Your not very tolerant of stupidity.") And I hate it.

In other news, I was reading the NYTimes in my email this afternoon, and I saw this blurb:
Freeing Sex Slaves: A Year Later
What has happened to Srey Neth in the year since Nicholas D. Kristof purchased the freedom of the Cambodian prostitute? With an interactive feature.
An...interactive feature? About sex slaves? *snerk*

Jan. 7th, 2005 11:36 pmSomeone is seriously the fuck out to get me. The third--third time I got to just past 40% in downloading a Lost episode that I've missed, something happens. The first and second time, someone logged me out in the middle of downloading. This time, there was no way I was going away from my computer while it was downloading, I don't care if it was going to take until two in the morning. And so I'm downloading, and it gets to 40%, and I'm like, haha! I finally made it! And then like five minutes later I got some kind of error message and the whole thing closed. I'm going to go cry now.
But anyway,
As it is now no longer Friday, Things I Found/Learned While Reading
queenofalostart's Flist:
-Some people don't like DashCon
-Almost everyone I ran across was doing the flist swap
-There are a lot of memes going around her flist that all of my flist did a while ago (the lyrics one and the three things), but they have a few cool new ones that I think are going to hit here, real big, real soon (the movie one, the slash questionaire) and about as many people over there are doing the first line thing as over here
-I don't know if this counts, because I found out via
opiumcoffeebean who is also on my flist, but since I saw it there first--Alan Rickman to Voice Marvin in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" !!!
-Found this uber-fun poll! It's pitting Disney villians against each other! Yay!
-Gorgeous cowboy!Viggo fic
-Random supercool links
-Best interpretation of Paul I've read in a long time
-Some people are really rather dumb

Dec. 10th, 2004 05:57 pmSorry for the public post, but, AHHH!! What the fuck is going on with AIM?
First, my username is blocked and I'm not fricking ALLOWED to sign in!
Then, I try to do this verify thing, and they tell me my username and password don't work!
Then, I ask them to send me my password, and "the service you are trying to reach is temporarily unavailable!"
What do I do?
