Okay, phew. The damn site is working again. For those of you who were temporarily freaked out by the loss of this wonderful outlet (namely, me), here's what happened.
The domain registration expired and no one told me.
Thankfully, I'm kind of obsessive-compulsive when it comes to being in contact with people, so yesterday morning when I woke up and turned on my computer to check my e-mail and I couldn't access it, I punched up my site to see if I could access it and figure out what went wrong. And there I found the oopsie.
But it's all better now -- or at least it's getting better slowly -- and special thanks to
Eve for not only calling me to make sure I knew what was going on, but also for listening to me rant last night about the stupidity of it all and how I needed everything to go back to the way it was
RIGHT THEN.
In other news, you know what else sucks? Actors who get their own TV shows where they play a character somewhat based on themselves that has a normal life like the rest of us to the point where they even keep the same name. Like they'd be stretching their acting abilities to respond to a different name? We have
Life With Bonnie starring Bonnie Hunt,
According to Jim starring Jim Belushi and
Luis starring Luis Guzman, to name a few. Don't you think they're being paid enough that, in order to make the plotline a little more believable, their characters should take on a different name? Like we'd actually believe -- and find funny -- situations where actors are doing "real-life" things as if they weren't rich and famous. I can't honestly see anyone saying to themselves, "Ooh, I wonder how Jim Belushi would react to this situation that I was just in where my wife told me to get off my lazy ass and take out the trash or I'd be sleeping on the couch! I bet it'd be a whooooooole lot funnier on his show than it actually played out here!"
