Hey you guys, thanks for all the patience!

I just got back from Vegas, it was awesome. It was a jam packed week, and I got to see Zumanity. Vulgar, sexy, and ultimately beautiful as only Cirque du Soleil can deliver.

Otherwise though, the computer is still borked, and I believe it might be bad ram. So, hang in there, hopefully this will be resolved as the finances deal with themselves. (vacation takes a toll on the wallet!)

I'm super super behind on DD suggestions, so send at your own risk.

Finally got my internet up and running after a WEEK (gasp!) of no connectivity.

Unfortunately, it seems as though my antivirus wasn't very effective in its purpose so about 10 trojans tore apart my computer.

The trojans have been removed, but the laptop just ain't right anymore. Because it's custom built, I need to request a restore cd from the manufacturer which isn't going to be for a little while, as I'm vacationing in Las Vegas early November, so laptop crashing isn't in the budget quite yet.

Sadly, I'll be online very intermittantly, and I will be getting through these DD suggestions. It just may take me a while.

As of the moment, ^snowmask is made of amazing, so if you've got needs, bring them over to her and she'll be sure to help you out.

Much love!

Good news is, it's not my laptop, like I had original thought; it's the internet. Shame about that.

I've been down since roughly Wednesday night/Thursday with this shit and the soonest the Verizon tech was able to get in was between 1-5 on Saturday.

So, he arrives at 7:00 pm, and after a bunch of shenanigans it's determine that the issue is actually in an underground line and they need a special team to take care of this by Sunday or Monday.

LOLOLOLOLSTILLNOINTERNET.

I'm currently at my job during lunch on the abysmal IE 6 gumping my way through some messages. If I wasn't a bit behind before, I certainly am now.

I appreciate your patience, guys. Even if it isn't being handled within the next couple of days, I'm having Comcast come install interwebz next Saturday. The DSL was shitty anyway, and this service is awful.

Hopefully it won't take so long to get me back internet. Can I just say that I was bored out of my fucking mind on Saturday because I had NOTHING to do? Nothing fun, anyway; I could've done dishes.

Love you much! Please leave me messages about how wonderful your lives are so I can pee myself with envy.

Yay! Though the turnout was low, as I totally forgot to advertise it and send out reminders, I think we all had a good time having some nice, fun, laid back critique.

I'd like to thank `Mollinda, `sphilr, `IBinsanity, ^ArtisticAunJuli and ^Battledress for being on panel and helping out with critiquing, as well as everyone else who attended.

I had a good time, and look forward to doing it again!
