Rethinking Big Fluffy Puppy with Bad Teeth: Spoilers and spoilers ho

I was going to say that the only drama I was watching anymore was "Angel," but I'm really going to have to rethink that. Leaked plots for the next four episodes had me pretty much firmly there. It's the fifth that has me backing away again.

( Obviously, here there be spoilers. )

Who broke my death ray?

Super. I hurry up, punch through the layer of ice coating the gas tank, gas up the car, weave through the overturned semi and support vehicles (and there's something deeply saddening about seeing someone's life possessions scattered on a snowcovered Interstate median) and get to work on time only to find out that, between yesterday and today, my e-mail newsletter projects -- which I've spent the better part of last year working on -- aren't working anymore.

Why? Damned if I know. None of the program files have changed, so it's a server configuration issue. I'd ask quasi-boss, but he's in his boss's office. They're...talking. I can hear intonation, but not discern words. And nobody else who can work on it is here. So it's gonna stay broken for a while.

This is more than a shade frustrating. Honestly, it's tempting to send an e-mail to 1400 people saying "IT'S NOT MY FAULT."

Cute moment of last night: Tiny and Moosie said "Pretty bird" in unison. Fantastic.

My day could be worse

Waiting for someone to show up to fix the server so I can work. Tedium alleviated thusly.

Defibrillator spark sets patient on fire. The good news is she was, technically, already dead.

Halle Berry OK after 'Catwoman' mishap. Halle, luv, it's a sign. Stop. Making. This. Movie.

Lieberman claims 'three-way split decision for third place' -- okay, is his problem with math (9 is always less than 12, even for very large values of 9) or simple reality? And is a three-way tie for third something to be trumpeting? Joe. C'mon. 2000 is over. Let it slide. You had your shot. The people have spoken and they said "Shut up and sit down."

Also, general note: if you're talking to someone on the phone or on speakerphone or if they're standing in the same room, you do not need to shout. We don't likes Mr. Shouty, no we don'tses. He breaks our mind.
