Fucking technology, how does it work?

Gentle Readers,

If you have sent me an email to the email account listed with this blog in the past three weeks, I haven't gotten it.  I mean, I've gotten it JUST NOW, but I hadn't gotten it when you sent it.  Also, I am having trouble sending email and replying to you from the gmx account.  No, I do not know why, somewhere in the webbernets there was a cave-in in the tunnels, or some of the internet gnomes went on strike, I don't know how this shit works.  I bet carrier pigeons were more reliable.

Also, there are some Christian groups that REALLY love me and enjoy sending me Jesus spam.  The fuck?

Love and Jew-y kisses,
Gayle

  1. Well, see, the internet is like a series of toobz, not unlike a sewer system...sometimes they get clogged with shit. I think there's been a few comments eaten recently, too, though none of mine were terribly profound.

    Also, I am now accepting advice on how to make my brain stop contemplating the possible mechanics of a "Jew-y kiss." Srsly, I can't stop giggling at that.

  2. Oh, seriously, comments were eaten? BUMMER. Maybe they were devoured by the alligators in this sewer system, because I just checked the moderation queueueeue (I never get the vowels right there, fuck it) and supposedly all comments are through. Blogger: you get what you pay for.

    Jew-y kisses - they taste like latkes!

  3. Mmmmm... latkes.

    I've been following your blog for a while, unsuccessfully trying to find the time to compose insightful responses that will further the dialogue. However, your carrier pigeon comment reminded me of this news story, which I couldn't resist sharing in the meantime: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8248056.stm

  4. BEST. ARTICLE. EVER.

    Winston the pigeon is the shit.

    Also, Feraline, HI! I am really ambivalent about the need to further dialogue. Comments like, "OH MY GOD I ALSO HATE THAT" are super welcome, too :)

    AND ALSO, you may have put the seed in my head for a post about, well, comments. Thanks!

  5. ...now I am craving latkes and wondering if a latke is just a latke.

    Plainly I need either more sleep or more alcohol.

  6. Have sent you another email, and was just wondering if you got it. I have seen the end of Mad Men! And had a personal life general disaster.

    For reference my email is thefairymelusine at gmail, and I have missed talking to you

  7. Melusin, I know they're there. The thing is, they were marked spam (I HAVE ALREADY TOLD GMX YOU ARE NOT SPAM) and they were sent to the spam box, and thus weren't fowarded over to my regular email. AND THEN gmx mail has been down, and I can't get to them.

    Seriously, I want gmx mail to just curl up in a corner and die already. It's entire purpose of existence is to be an email service, and it CANNOT DO THAT.

  8. I understand wishing death on gmx mail.

    I am now catching up with the Mad Men I missed, as relief from The Horrible Essay, and I am enjoying return of Awesome Queer Girl. And of Roger actually being more sympathetic than Don. And Don being a douche. (Am on the episode with Sally coming to the office. It is upsetting.

  9. It totally figures that, since I have not emailed in months, I would pick the worst time for gmx to do so :)

    Hope all is well otherwise!
