Conking out (with ear plugs so I'll sleep through...
HAPPY NEW YEAR TUMBLRS, MAY IT BE FULL OF HEALTH, WEALTH, AND HAPPINESS FOR YOU ALL (hopefully with a bit left over for myself as well). Big sloppy smooches and loving squeezes to everybody!
@downlo
Given that I don’t drink, go to bed early, don’t like loud noise late at night, etc., my NYEs are always untraditional ;) Tonight, I dusted and cleaned the shower, partly because I like cleaning for the new year as well (I also do that for Rosh Hashana) and partly because my tumblr’s fucked and therefore I’m not glued to it ;)

@babyjane
I don’t think anyone actually got banned this time. The whole thread was demoted and locked, but I *think* that’s it. I was being hyperbolic :)
@foo
My tumblr’s all fucked up so I can’t link, but just scroll down a bit and you’ll see people talking about bannings and Tracie and all sorts of fun stuff :)
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS THE TRACIE THREAD HOLY FUCK.
I LOVE YOU ALL MORE THAN WORDS CAN ACCURATELY CONVEY, but I can’t upload pics or gifs :) Now, who wants to tell Helen Lovejoy when TracIE was being racist?
*sigh*
Attempting to read back a bit… I want to ‘like’ everything and respond to/reblog a bunch of stuff, see the pictures, etc… god, who knew my New Year’s Eve would feel so bereft without adequate tumblr access? Happy 2011 to all of you! Here’s hoping I get to spend some of it with you :)
Happy birthday, Dame Katharsis! This is all I can do at the moment, ‘cause despite redlight’s best efforts I still can’t get anything to work right. But I hope your birthday is stupendous and wonderful and all sorts of other good stuff, and if you don’t see this, um… crap. I can’t use askholes, so I’ll just hope you see it :)

“For others with the same problem, you need to enable/adjust the MTU value, by connecting to your router’s admin interface, then changing your MTU (usually 1500 or 1492).”
Sorry, that makes absolutely NO sense to me! I mean, I’m just not that computer literate.
@redlight
Yep, did the java uninstall/install thing yesterday.
@redlight
Awww, so sweet! The tumblr tech is having me download Safari now for some test running. What a bizarre way to end the year, fiddling around with my computer to get tumblr working again…
@redlight
Windows Vista
@redlight
Checked flash and java yesterday, both are fine. I also checked the script settings, and those also didn’t make a difference. I’m not sure about the adblock thing, but I’ll look for it. Then again, if I have to suddenly open up my computer to threats just to load a page… thanks, but no thanks! I rely on this thing for *everything*, I can’t have the security...
@redlight
Done that—tried two new browsers, cleared the cache, tried loading without the security wall, have since had the computer rebooted many times, etc. I even tried returning to an earlier system for the computer from before the problem started, but that failed to go through. I’m not sure it would have helped anyway.
So I appear to have a tumblr-stalker/hacker
I guess I won’t be able to talk to y’all anymore… well, maybe if I can fix my computer. How pathetic—as if there’s anything to be gained or accomplished by fucking with a random blog.
Would anyone mind terribly posting this in...
It’s 14k—I have trouble with asks apparantly as well… thanks for checking on that user for me. I mentioned it in my latest email to the tumblr support staff, but I have a funny feeling that I may be completely screwed unless I reconfigure my computer entirely, which would, obviously, be a massive pain in the ass.
@turnon
What do you mean? Any particular posts? There was one about having a headache, and one about a Schubert mix I was making for wisearoundtheclock. I really think this person may have hacked me somehow, why the hell would anyone reblog those? But then, why won’t the main page load even when I haven’t logged in yet? Is it possible to hack a browser??? I’m so annoyed…
Okay, if anyone has a few minutes to kill… so I was looking at my posts from yesterday, and some tumblr I don’t recognize reblogged a couple of random personal posts. Anyone want to check out why those might appear on http://joketeki.tumblr.com/? I have no clue if this has anything to do with why my tumblr won’t load, but I can’t see that page either, which isn’t true...

beezusishere said: I miss you, 14kgold! I brought you seashells from the beach! :(
OOOhh, seashells! Well, save a pic, perhaps someday I’ll be able to see it!
The good people at tumblr gave me 10,000 suggestions for things to fix the problem, but nothing has worked. I suppose if no one else is having trouble it must be my computer, but...
Still can't load tumblr. Tried everything. Rather...

How I feel about tumblr currently working for...
Ugh. Looks like I won’t be able to interact with any of you for a while, as my tumblr won’t load correctly at all. Oh well. If anything truly important in your life happens, please put it in my ask! I love you and will miss you until such time as tumblr gets it together (the support staff is trying to be helpful, but they also suggested I try a different computer. Ha!). Anyway,...
am I the only one whose tumblr won't load...

GOD my head hurts
I slept haaaaaaarribly last night, and woke up last around 1 pm, with a headache since (and I’ve been on tumblr most of the fucking day because I have like 4 hours of work all week). SHOWER THEN BED. I WILL TRY TO IGNORE TUMBLR EVEN IF I CAN’T FALL BACK ASLEEP WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. So if anything interesting pops up, won’t you put it in my askhole? ;)

Having way to much fun
making a Schubert song list heavy on the angst and Sturm und Drang and minor-mode for IDiCC. Trying to stay away from the best known happy stuff, except for two or three… SOOOOOOOOOO dark and fun!

Ginger nuts
are not a reference to Ronald Weasley’s testicles. They are a Brit biscuit that I fucking love, very gingery (obviously), usually thin and crisp, crunchy because of demerara sugar, often with a bit of orange or lemon.
I scoured a bunch of recipes to come up with one that I’d like best, but unfortunately the recipe I developed is very fussy and frequently turns out quite differently...

So I was just making a small batch of ginger nuts to lift my spirits, and about 10 seconds after I put them in the oven I realized that I FORGOT TO ADD THE GINGER.
Took ‘em back out, put in the ginger, but the dough is a really odd texture from all this mess and I have a feeling this batch won’t be so great :/

“During the last decade, Guatemala has experienced an epidemic of woman-killing. The bodies are everywhere: turning up in ditches on the side of the road, on the curbs of city streets, and in wooded ravines, often with signs of mutilation and rape. Over 5,000 women have been murdered in the tiny country during the past decade, giving it one of the highest female mortality rates in...

Discuss.
Is garden-variety stupidity considered a disability these days?
That’s what baffles me about this debate. There’s an awful lot of ableist language out there. The words, just the use, does make a difference. There’s no getting around that using ‘retarded’ and ‘schizo’ shows disrespect, and unrepentent disrespect… well, it shows that you are in...
