My Whole Expanse I Cannot See…

Pumpkins 2013!

So, the pumpkins are carved, scary movies watched, October posts made.

Now, I’m going to make my most crazy vow, my final vow of 2013.

I’m going to post every single day, straight through to my birthday, December 31st. After that, who knows?

So, for some reason WordPress 3.7.1 wasn’t getting pushed to my server. I e-mailed GoDaddy, I kept trying fixes, waiting for GoDaddy to tell me something useful. I kept hoping for the issue to just magically fix itself. I got nothing. I hate when something doesn’t work, I hate not having the latest version of… whatever. I’ve said before, I’m weird. It was this weirdness that drove me toward the deranged manual update!

The manual update always felt like it could be the thing that could potentially destroy the blog. You’re moving files, deleting files, if you do it wrong, your little five-year long live memoir is fucked. However, if you’re reading this post, I’m happily running WordPress 3.7.1, nothing’s fucked, and the blog continues.

Let’s see…

I like kitties!

So, I’m a nerd and I’m waiting on WordPress 3.7.1, as 3.7 has a bug that I really don’t like. It doesn’t affect me on a daily, or even a weekly basis, but just knowing it’s there bothers me. I like anything, “thing,” that’s mine to be basically, perfect. If my iPod Touch gets dinged up, even just cosmetically, I need a new one. All my wall art, hand-picked, never crooked. My computer’s desktop is clean, my OS, my apps, all up-to-date.

Maybe I just need to control what I can control because I lack control over so much else. Who knows? I don’t know. This is just me.

Not a whole lot to talk about, nothing I feel like writing anywho. Last day of the Florida Democratic Convention, got to meet Florida’s next Democratic candidate for Governor, Nan Rich. She supports disability issues, for which I support her, but who knows if she has a chance. The political landscape is just disturbing.

That’s about it.

So, I spent today in Orlando, at the Florida Democratic Convention. It wasn’t as exciting as one would hope. I hate to say it, but our party in Florida isn’t too inspiring, and that has to change if we want our state back from the Tea Party in 2014.

That said, I do have a lot of faith in, and respect for, one of our Congresswomen, Debbie Wasserman Shultz. She’s really impressive, very smart, very articulate, and as we were walking down this random hallway… there she was, signing her book!

Me and Debbie Wasserman Schultz…

Aside from the photo, I got to tell her, “You’re brilliant on Maddow!”

Politics can be fun too, it doesn’t always have to fill me with abject hatred!

So, in a flurry of unexpected activity, we are now running WordPress 3.7. Another successful upgrade, the blog was not destroyed!

I don’t really know what’s new, but I also feel like none of the features that I use are broken. Yay!

So, I went ahead and renewed this domain for… another two years. I usually do a yearly renewal, because, you know, if I drop dead in eleven months and twenty-eight days, I’ve wasted ten dollars. Who wants to waste ten dollars? Not me! Still, what if my life is like a crazy Twilight Zone episode and I DIE when my domain EXPIRES? I have a similar idea regarding tattoos and skin space, but that’s an entire other post. At any rate, I may have actually guaranteed myself two years of breathing and not simply potentially wasted ten dollars.

In theory, I could be immortal, so long as I have cash and the internets keep existing… or I just jinxed myself and I’m actually going to drop dead in forty-seven hours. Who knows? Personally, I’m hoping for some flavor of the former rather than the latter.

…I’ll post something of quality tomorrow.

I spent today doing boring technology-related what-not, which I might write tomorrow.

For now, I watch Coraline, I relax.

So, last night I had a really bad coughing session, and I e-mailed my doctor, and… we’re going to leave the medicine alone awhile.

I feel much better, less nervous.

I know, boring post, but maybe now I can focus again.
