Thanks for the kind words about my internship loser-ness. I am getting more and more used to the idea of being around for the summer and not flouncing around Manhattan. Ah well.

At least I have lots and lots to post about lately! First of all, the weirdness with the site going down for two days…well, where to begin? I still haven’t gotten a reason from the hosting company of WHY it happened to begin with. For light humor, I could reenact the incredibly long email trail between myself and the technical support guys, but it basically goes like this:

Tech Guy: It seems that your remote database cpanel username blabbedy gook mysql folder – can you upload the latest supinefe_567w4.sql?

Me: I…have an iMac? I…post from a website, not a, um…program? Uh. Can you just, like, fix everything for me? Thanks.

And on and on, for 36 hours. Yeah. And then amazingly, the site was back up! But only up to October 2005. So then I started IMing the tech support. And then all the posts went back up! Woo!

Also, just now I returned home from class and saw that my welcome mat was all pushed up to cover a package that had arrived. At first I thought, “Sweet! My printer toner has arrived,” but it turns out that something MUCH MUCH BETTER than printer toner was there.

It reads: “The Unforgettable Gift.”

OH YEAH! Chocolate strawberries from my mom.

And the note enclosed reads: “A setback, but I know how terrific you are. So, indulge yourself – and E! Love Mom”

Awwww. So nice.

And one final photo.

LOOK HOW WEIRD THIS LOOKS. It is a view down my pants to my feet, but look at how obese I look from this crazy angle! Obese with teeny bird feet! Heh. I think I will keep this photo around. If I ever start to look like this from a non-exaggerated fisheyed angle, I will take it as a sign to cut down on the carbs a little.
