Impractical Penumbra

Uh Oh!

Seems like munu is down again. I hope it's just a sputter and not another server problem...Something evil seems to wait until Pixy falls asleep to do us in. We've had crapfloods and DOS attacks and whatnot lately. Guess I'd better ask around munuvia if anybody broke a mirror lately....

I saw dead people

....lots of dead, dying, and dismembered people when I watched Sin City last night. I'm actually grateful it was in black and white, other wise I think it would've been too gory to handle.

Mickey Roarke's acting amazed me. I haven't seen him play anything but a washed-up gangster in years, and his character of Marv was totally cool (for a berserker). I actually rented it for Bruce Willis, but his story was the one I liked the least of the three. Don't know why. I guess I would've rather he'd gone after Powers Boothe's character at the end.

I think this is one of those movies you're going to either love or hate. Me, I may just have to buy this one...

Alas and alack!

Inability to post at the regular place has suddenly inspired me to blog. Figures.

So this post is to complain about typepad. Their trackback set up sucks. I mean, honestly, I had to manually enter the trackback url to ping basil (who is accepting trackbacks to munuvian backup sites) but even though it went through, the post thinks it didn't--so if I change or update that post, it's going to ping him again!

That means in order to ping Beth, who is also doing that, without re-pinging basil, I have to write a new post.

What really puzzles me is that the same folks make MT and typepad...

Alack and Alas!

It's not that I had anything particular to blog about--it's that my blogroll is my reading list, dadgummit! Unfortunately, most of my reading list share the same server as I do, and the munu server is pining for the fjords at the moment.

Of course, those of us truly addicted to blogging have other, lesser, outlets for our muse, which is why it took me several minutes to decide upon the venue I now use (since I have about five back-up blogs).

I need to heap praise upon the Great and Powerful Pixy Misa. He's awesome. In the past, when there have been minor hiccups in the space/time continum of the munuiverse, one or two ingrates have grumbled about the problems and threatened to take their blogs elsewhere. Unfortunately, like liberals threatening to move to Canada, that has never happened. I hope it does now. Because those silly folk don't seem to understand that unlike blogger, or typepad, or hosting matters, munu is the responsibility of one single, amazing man who does not earn a penny from those whose blogs he hosts, and actually pays for us to be able to blog!

In his spare time from single-handedly trying to keep munu up and running, he has a life, too--like a job so he can pay for our bandwidth, and the need to actually sleep occasionally.

So Pixy Misa, please ignore the few bad apples and accept my undying gratitute for your marvelous gift to me and many of my favorite bloggers. I'll be back when you get everything sorted out. And I will send you M&Ms if you would let me!
