Super Technical Difficulty Bros. Ultimate

So in my world, there’s no better reason to declare a state of emergency than having your PC suddenly and abruptly die on you.

Which to be fair, I only just learned about.  Talk about an unforgettable life experience.

Technical (Mechanical?) Difficulties Rule -- ACT 2

Now, I'm not going to say that I'm in the middle of the Suffering Arc of my life, because A) it's not THAT bad, and B) I don't want to jinx myself, buuuuuuuuuuuuut...man, it'd be a pretty apt descriptor, given the past 1.5 weeks.

Technical (Mechanical?) Difficulties Rule.

Alternative post title: The "Well, That's Unfortunate" Mini-Arc.

Well, there's no other way around it this time.  I've had some of my stuff IRL break down on me -- not my computer, thankfully -- and it required some attention.  Granted "attention" is borderline synonymous with "try to fix it but potentially break it further", but let's not dwell on my failures as a handyman.  Word of advice though: be wary of your surroundings when you're taking off any article of clothing, no matter how meager.

I like how I'm making this more ambiguous and grandiose than it needs to be.  But don't worry about it.  Or me, for that matter.  I'm mostly okay; it's just that I need to try and get some repairs done, and hopefully that'll be sorted in the next day or two.  The trade-off is that because of this mini-arc, I'm worn out, annoyed, and more than a little stressed.  It certainly doesn't help that there's been a string of 100-degree days, so I can't even go out in the dead of night without breaking a sweat.

The takeaway from this post is that, well, this IS the Monday post.  It sucks because I came up with one that I was itching to upload, but I'll have to save it for another day when I'm not soaked, warding off bugs, and lamenting my starkly-limited skill set.  Maybe Thursday, then?  Time will tell, but I'll probably be back on track by then.

In the meantime?  If you're reading this (and aren't a ghost -- or, alternatively, you exist), then feel free to use the comment section to gush about your favorite fictional character.  That'll be interesting to read.  In exchange?  Please accept some hype Sentai music.

See you guys next time.  Assuming I'm not caught up in an explosion.

TDMC: Technical Difficulties May Cry

So I’m starting to get the distinct feeling that technology hates me.  Like, all of it.

The Good, the Bad, and THAT MOVIE

Do me a solid...

So I got a notification from Disqus that -- for one reason or another -- comments got de-synced between it and this blog.  That's pretty frustrating in its own right, but it goes further than that; since I'm a guy that tries to respond to every comment that comes my way, not knowing when and where comments pop up (which has already happened recently) means that I can't do what I want and need to do, and repay the kindness people have shown by leaving their thoughts here.

I'm going to try and fix it over the next couple of days -- assuming it can be fixed simply -- but until then?  I think I'd better push back some of the thicker posts I've got stocked.  I'd very much like to have this problem resolved, obviously.  So what I need for you, or anyone reading this, or anyone who simply glanced at it from their feed, to do is write a comment.  Any comment.  The way I see it, that's the best way to make sure things are working as intended.  I'll put more stuff up later this week (hopefully), but until then?  Let me preemptively give thanks.

But since I'm in the practice of throwing up thousands of words on-screen, I guess I'd better say something of merit.  So you know what?  If you're reading this, tell me about what TV shows you like.  What you're watching, what you have watched, whatever -- if it strikes your fancy, let me know.  There's still a hole in my heart thanks to How I Met Your Mother's departure, so filling it might heal my soul or whatever.  Failing that, I need to watch more Regular Show.  Or Steven Universe.  

So yeah, leave a comment if you can.  And thanks in advance.  And screw technical difficulties.
