Paradox

[lithera]

Watch out. Serious geekiness here in the beginning, so... Just beware.

Whatever it is I did to invoke Paradox, I apologize. Honestly and truly, I apologize. I am a walking internet jinx right now. It is amazing that I am able to post this right now. Last night our internet connection died a horrible death. I power cycle the modem and the wireless router. Still no joy. I decide to play some Catan instead of being on-line. No big worry, right? So, Kris gets home and things still aren't working. We power cycle again. Nothing works.

So, you can tell we're desperate at this point, because we call Comcast. We discover that we can connect straight from the modem just fine. So, we reset everything and switch out routers to my wireless router. Same thing. Except now I can get on AIM and I can get to websites not based in the US. I can get to the BBC, I can get to amazon.co.uk. So... Weird. We unplug everything and shut it down for the night. (And btw, Heroes? Eclipses last AT MOST for just over 7 minutes.)

I get to work in the morning... and my connection at my desk doesn't work. I'm only connected through the grace of wireless.

WHAT DID I DO?

Seriously. I'm sorry.

Last night's Heroes(minus 98% of the Sylar/Elle scenes) was probably my favorite this season. It was mostly due to Hiro, though. He's great. The 10yr old persona is awesome.

I was sad that they kept doing the weird "I'm using my power" faces after making so much fun of it.

Hiro was pretty much the only part I liked last night. And Sylar and Elle... well... I don't know. It... It felt like there was a whole story arc there smashed into around two episodes for those characters.

Agreed there. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the episode, even if I kept heckling the length of the eclipse myself. Slowest. Eclipse. Ever.

Seth Green makes everything better.

Holy shit, you need to hire yourself out to go and stand near the server hubs of people your client doesn't like.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

That would be cool.

[quipper.livejournal.com]

That's what you GET for messing with the order of the universe, missy!

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CHANGED!

[quipper.livejournal.com]

Yet. ;)

I'm living in a bit of fear.

[quipper.livejournal.com]

Fear is anticipation without breath. Take a couple deep breaths, and then wait for it. It's gotta be cool, if you can KILL TEH INTARWEB.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

It is making work challenging.

I am displeased by this. It is hard enough already, thanks.

Don't worry unless your future self comes back to chastise you on your equipment selection.

[sharkcowsheep.livejournal.com]

Then you were apparently subtle enough that you SHOULDN'T be sucking dox.

...unless part of what you did was make us forget the sweeping heinousness of what you did. This is a definite possibility.

[quipper.livejournal.com]

I had that thought, too.

[sharkcowsheep.livejournal.com]

Holy fuck we are SO nerdy. :D

[lithera.livejournal.com]

See? I warned you all.

[quipper.livejournal.com]

OMG Kat made us regress! We're going back in time!

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Noooooooo.

I don't have more than 1 dot in Time.

[grymor.livejournal.com]

But you apparently will have enough to generate enough 'dox that you have a backlash in the now (your then past).

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Well, it could be that it was something huge that just hasn't happened yet.

Or it could have been Black Friday.

[quipper.livejournal.com]

What makes you suspect Black Friday?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Let me just say business was /really/ good.

[quipper.livejournal.com]

Well that's good, I know you were worried about that.

Oh, and I didn't get the ASUS. :(

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Curses!

[quipper.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was really hoping. Ah well, maybe next year. :)

Liam didn't somehow use Hiro's power's to teleport over there and put your modem into stanby mode did he? Cause he's done that here once already

[lithera.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

I wish it were that simple.

What do you WANT FOR CHRISTMAS?
