(no subject)

I'm working on setting up All About Spike at its new server (*cries*). I just copied the database over, so I won't be able to add/update anything until I get the rest all switched over. Which means: I know I have a ton of stuff to read and archive, I have it all recorded somewhere, and I will get to it at some point. But not very soon.

(Please let the new server work out. Please don't let them kick me off.)

I've been rather stressed lately. Last night I tried to copy the database over, but you can't use telnet on the new server (gah!) so I had to do it through phpmyadmin, but it's a 36 MB database, so of course phpmyadmin timed out and gave me a bunch of errors. So now I have to get the server people to do it for me.

Then I tried to do my laundry (my building has a washer & dryer in the basement). I washed three loads only to discover that the dryer was broken (again!) so now I have clothes hanging all over my bedroom air-drying.

Anyway, hopefully the weekend will be better. Tonight [livejournal.com profile] jaydk, [livejournal.com profile] queenofthorns and I are gathering at [livejournal.com profile] jaydk's place and watching some Sean Bean series thingy. Hopefully that will be good; even if I don't like it I'm sure I'll enjoy just hanging out. Then tomorrow [livejournal.com profile] jaydk, [livejournal.com profile] drujan, [livejournal.com profile] soulmate815, and I are having a Johnny Depp party at my place. We're going to watch Sleepy Hollow, Cry Baby, and some old 21 Jump Street episodes (if [livejournal.com profile] soulmate815 brings them). (Hopefully my stupid laundry will be dry by then!)

Sean Bean series thingie? Would that be 'Sharpe'? Oh those are lovely! I love the books and I love the films. Awesome.

I used to watch them with my dad -- how I got my crush on Sean Bean. On the series front, it's probably my dad's favorite series ever.

Oh dear. Good luck with the switching server stuff. Thankfully, it sounds like you have a lovely, relaxing weekend planned to offset the ugliness of that.

These are the times I wish we had transporter systems. Sigh.

I know! I hate living far away from my online friends. I'm very glad to have found a few people here in NYC.

Good luck switching servers!

Just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate your hard work and your wonderful site! Enjoy the Bean and Depp this weekend, too.

Depp-aThon

Sorry to hear that you are having such angst with the board switch. But don't worry, the Depp-a-thon is just around the corner, waiting to cheer you up. And I will definitely bring some 21 Jumpstreet entertainment -- I was actually looking at some eppies last night (one in a military school... Johnny's so dashing in uniform! LOL). I may also bring one of the Patrick Dempsey films I have (and it even has some slashy undertones, too!) -- or maybe I should hold that for another double feature with Can't Buy Me Love... :-) We gotta check out James' new leading man (not just David Boreanaz anymore...)

See ya tomorrow,
soulmate
