Load Time For A Meatspace Person Takes A While At First, But They Rarely Pause For Buffering

Dangitall, how come LJ is broken and yet you all still keep posting? It's not like I can read it, you bastards. My friends page is comatose! How the hell will I know what you had for lunch or see your hilarious attempts at baking cakes or tell you long hideously detailed stories about adventures with menstrual cups this way?*

I guess I'll just have to spend the next few days while I wait for our crack squad of savvy motivated LJ personnel to unbreak everything doing, you know, REAL ACTIVITIES. I understand those huge upright chunks of flesh and hair I keep seeing around are actually people, in some strange non-text, non-icon interface that seems vaguely familiar somehow. I'll see if I can't friend one somehow, though I can't find the button for that yet.***

At least I seem to have fixed my own internet connection. Ball's in your court, LJ.


*Actually, there haven't been many adventures. Contrary to some of the stuff I read on the forums back when I was getting the hang of this thing, I am not suddenly One With My Body, nor do I feel a grand connection with the moon.** It has merely become a new variation on the monthly "Oh, this is happening again" ritual.

**Which is good because it's NOT LIKE I'LL BE GOING THERE ANY TIME SOON OBAMA WHAT THE HELL MAN.

***I know, I know: HURRRRR.

I'm not too worried about the Moon specifically (I'd rather we started going further out, even if that's going to take some serious time), and I cheer for robots, but just having people out in SPACE seems like a step forward. Scrapping that feels like we've cancelled The Future.

I'm all for a Near-Earth Asteroid, too. That would be neat!

A lot of the problem is we needed to fund things earlier so now we're stuck. Bush's administration had plans, but didn't toss any money at NASA, and I think now even if we toss money at it, there will still be a gap. Of course, there are plans out there, so saying 'Okay, now here's the deal -- we'll be out of commission for a bit, but we're working on this neat thing' would be good. Get Obama to speechify -- he's good at that. Mention about jobs in the aerospace industry.
