Great googly moogly. Is my internet at home being lightning-fast this morning, or is Firefox 3 just that efficient? I tend to think the latter!

There are a few more hours remaining in Firefox 3 Download Day. Be good to yourself with a faster, more stable internet browser, and help contribute to the breaking of a new world record!

Quoth the folks in charge:

I just walked into the kitchen island. Not on purpose. I need a day off. :D

Today is my one-year anniversary of being in New York, woohoo! And Firefox 3 is here!

Oh my god. I feel tetchy and aggravated and tired and I swear I’m going to bite the head off the next person that adds another task to my staggering To-Do list. I need to buy groceries and I need to do laundry and I need to freaking SLEEP IN for once. And I need to go back to the frame store and get those stupid two millimeters of foam core chopped off the bottom so I can freaking hang my posters already. And I want to be well-rested enough so that I don’t sound like a zombie when I try to record the next episode of the podcast, which is already a week late and getting later every day. And I want to be in a frame of mind in which getting home on a Friday night in time to see the Battlestar Galactica finale at 10 does not feel like a crowning achievement. And I want to have time to go to a MOVIE for once, as I still need to see Prince Caspian and I’m curious about Hulk, and wasn’t Lee Pace in some really trippy-looking movie that seemed kind of interesting?

And I want to take a personal day but I can’t, because everyone is as crazy and put-upon as I am, and ARGH.

Um. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Last night, I dreamed that Obama had polio, but he still managed to win Dancing With the Stars.

WTF, brain.

Anyway, today continues my Unending Work Week Streak. I’ve had one day off since Memorial Day, and I’ll be working both today and tomorrow and all through next week. Hopefully I’ll get next weekend off. Why did my job have to wait until I had a boyfriend to get crazy?

HAHAHAHAHHAHA! I’M LEAVING AT 7 TONIGHT! WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN!

This message has been brought to you by the fact that I was at work until 3:30am last night, and I’ve only had one day off since Memorial Day.

I plan to go to sleep at 10 tonight.

Linkspam!

Oh my good lord. UnchartedGilligan’s Island meets Lost–is a work of brilliance. Why do I find it so hilarious? When I was a wee little Prislet, Gilligan’s Island was the first TV show I became enamored with. Yes, laugh. I set our first programmable VCR to record the reruns when it came on at 4am on weekdays, then watched it when I got home from school. I read the small handful memoirs that had been written about it. I wrote Mary Sue fanfiction before I even knew what Mary Sue fanfiction was. I set a general precedent for how I would treat every single other TV show or book series I would ever love. My poor parents had no idea what they would be in for. :D

Rowling writing short Marauder prequel story. Nice. Of course, ever since Makani drew this picture, I’ve been unable to picture them as anything else but hopeless nerds.

WHAAAAAAAT. They’ve cut Trelawney from the HBP movie! Along Bill, Fleur, Percy, the Gaunts, Moaning Myrtle, and apparently EVERY OTHER CHARACTER IN THE BOOK. Isn’t it supposed to be two movies? What the heck is left? Besides, y’know, Snape killing Dumbledore.

Gorgeous octopus jewelry. I want one of those rings.

Torchwood season 3 to be a mini-series. A bit “huh?”, but maybe this is what it takes for the show to be coherent. :D

Copperbadge blogs about the most important essay you will read this year.

FIST BUMP OF LIBERTY!

(larger versions here)

From Best Week Ever: “Barack and Michelle Obama last night, celebrating the Democratic presidential nomination he so rightly deserves, and being just about the cutest, coolest couple imaginable while doing so. I’m really glad our next president is the kind of dude who fist-bumps his wife (everyone knows high-fiving is for Republicans).”

And the promised Crazpants Terry McAuliffe clip.

Jon Stewart: “So your philosophy is to act as deranged as possible and hope they just give you the country?”

*chortles* Terry McAuliffe is on the Daily Show. This is funnier than any Democratic primary parody I’ve ever seen. I’ll post a link when it goes up on thedailyshow.com tomorrow. XD
