Little Bits

| | 10 peeps are talkin'.

In spite of boots's bitching, my blog software does not suck and I haven't been poasting because I have been busy, lazy, and not very blogative.

Busy: had a visitor last weekend, went to a NASCAR race. Never been to any kind of auto racing, mostly because when I took auto shop back in high school the teacher would play Indy films (as opposed to Indie films) when he didn't feel like actually teaching us anything or letting us loose in the shop. I got car sick watching the cars speed round and round and round so I figured I'd get car sick at a real race. Anyway, my friend came to 'Zona just to see the Sprint Fresh Fit 500 race and I went with her. Had a good time, especially when the car I chose to follow ended up winning. I figured I couldn't go wrong with a guy named "Jimmie Johnson" because that is so NASCAR-esque sounding and his car was just kind of gradually overtaking all the other drivers, one car at a time, making it kind of interesting to watch. His car was blue-ish. Lowes. And I don't mind Lowes all that much, mainly because their logo is blue instead of that pukey orange that Home Depot uses.

Lazy: strained a muscle or tendon or something in my right elbow so I've been trying to take it easy. Makes shopping really really difficult, but I managed it, and now have a noo pair of shooz for the summer. DSW rocks, shoe-wise. Top labels for discount prices, oh baby!

Blogative: my computer was misbehaving. No, not the blog ware :: glaring at boots ::. Windows Installer stopped working, and none of the solutions offered by Microsoft or all the bloggers and forums (who merely parroted Microsoft's solutions) fixed it. I ended up reformating the hard drive, reinstalling everything, and now it's all back up and running, but damn!

Anyway, the news is boring because we've all been there with Obama saying what he really thought but getting slapped for it, and Hillary lying about what it had been like in Kosovo or wherever, and earthquakes here, tornadoes there, I mean <yawn>. There's only so much you can say about this stuff, y'know?

I'll be fixing tofu tacos tonight (thanks UV!) only they'll be burritos with rice and black beans instead of tacos. Same deal, though. Fry the tofu chunks, make the taco seasoning sauce to saute them, then use that instead of ground beef. Sounds faboo.

Hey, my bitching got you poasting dinnit?

So let's see if this turd on wheels will actually post my comment instead of saying "Text is wrong. Try again." Which does, in fact, suck.

I just got that posted by NOT doing a preview. When I unset the "receive email notification" box then click Preview, then unset the damn notification box again and click Send, it pukes up the "Text is wrong. Try again." message again, which absolutely sucks and is barfware to the max.

When the preview screen comes up it says "This reCAPTCHA key isn't authorized for the given domain".

Sorry gekko, but yer Preview function is busted.

Tried commenting the other day, but it rejected me, wah. So I'll try the Bootsie way now, except I forgot what I was going to say. I think it was about food. It's Passover, so yada yada. Someone at Manischewitz had too many glasses of wine and burnt the matzos, so they're more disgustingly awful than usual. Not to worry though -- I can haz macaroon!

Hey, it worked!

FTR, I hit send and left email notice on (the other day I unchecked it). I'm unchecking it now to see . . .

I hates it when I haz too many glasses of wine and burns the mattress.

tofu tacos

That sounds like a euphemism for those fake vaginas they sell on the porn sites (not that I'd know, someone was telling me about them...

So let me try out this stupid "Preview" with the reCaptcha thingummy that whoozit's been whining about.

So I got that working with the Preview -- reCaptcha needed me to register my uber-domain, not my sub-domain. Now if I could only figure out why my cookies aren't baking.

I'd suggest turning on the oven?

Hon, sorry to mention this, but now the Send function is acting like the Preview function was...

I'm not seeing a reCAPTCHA thinger here on the initial screen.

Those software nerds will soitingly jerk ya around won't they?
