If I were Al Swearengen
I did a video of this song last night. I roll my eyes like a cartoon character when I’m performing! Meep! Now I know the horrible secret, my mother didn’t give birth to a little pink wrinkled thing she GAVE BIRTH TO A CARTOON CHARACTER. No wonder I’m terrified of Dip! Alert the Media. Anyway, I’ve tried and tried and tried to post it to my website, and I can’t. I’m gonna wait until Glenn comes over and walks me through FTP again, because I’m OBVIOUSLY doing something wrong, something simple to do with the naming of it, or I’m putting it in the wrong folder. Then I will post it. It’s not good enough for Youtube (a low standard to be sure as Doc Filk would say) but it’s good enough for a giggle among friends, so ping me if you want to see it; the quicktime video is about 4 megs and it’s 3:35.
There is snow. So much f*cking snow. It’s unbelievagable.
Ack. Fast fo;ward to June 23, and I DID so post it to Youboob. Heavy sigh. But I’m commenting it, and that makes it oddly better.
Map of cut cables
There have now been six undersea internet cables cut since December 2007. I had been having a hard time visualizing where they were, but ScaryClown, as always comes through.
Anybody who thinks these events aren’t sabotage is probably a professional pundit. There are apparently 25 ships that cruise the globe fixing cable wear 24/7 and there’s a cable break on average every 3 days. What triggered the hysteria, including mine, was the size of the original break – it took down about 70 percent of Egypt’s traffic, and Egypt is not a small country.
So I can go back to worrying about something else, like uploading my videos.
