Stories are back up.

Well, the stories are back up. Drizzle took a good while to figure out what they did. I'm a little annoyed that their maintainence pass didn't correspond to a period when their offices were open and any flaws could be quickly reported, but once they knew there was a problem they got on it and fixed it fast enough. I guess I would be more annoyed if the site actually brought in some income (hint, hint, you readers you).

Pure hilarity. Props to stephdray for pointing this amateur anti-Bush ad to me: What we are teaching our children. The delivery by that one kid, "And I won't care!", is worth watching the whole video. Some of the other videos are pretty good too, like Desktop.

All alone...

Well, omahas has headed out to MacWorld for the week, and Kouryou-chan and I are going to be all alone for the next four days. I'm worried about tomorrow being a snow day; today was Kouryou-chan's first day of school and she had a blast and wants to go back of course, but if we get stuck at home we'll be going stir-crazy staring at each other and the computer screen. I'm also pleased to learn that none of the other kids at her school made fun of her for the scratches and swelling on her face from her slip Saturday morning.

I also owe her a trip to Kidopolis sometime this week. Her school is only half-day in the morning, but I'll have three and a half hours to myself, at least, so hopefully I'll get at least a little writing done. I also have to get the usual housework done and Omaha has given me quite a bit to do, but I think I'll manage.

But otherwise, I'm going to be a bit stir-crazy. I'm sure I'll find something to do.
