Am I the Only One?
Does anyone else fervently wish that both tumblr and muxtape had search features?awesome.
but what is the ad for? some energy drink?
NBC's full episode player sucks
I spend way too much time watching TV online.
There, that’s out of the way.
Now, what this means is, I’ve spent the majority of the past 6 hours (and a not-insubstantial portion of the past 4 days in general) watching this season of 30 Rock online at nbc.com.
I’d say that about 50% of the time I run into a glitch that forces me to watch the same commercial OVER and OVER in order to get to the place I was at in the episode, or I can’t get past a certain point in the episode without it skipping back to some other point. And sometimes it just freezes up altogether. Oftentimes, after watching one episode, it’ll immediately start another UNSEQUENTIAL episode. So the only way I can be sure I’m watching the correct episode is to go down to the menu and click on it, thus subjecting myself to yet MORE advertising before I can watch the show.
I realize that there must be advertising in order to make it financially feasible for networks to offer programming online, but, please, fix your bugs. Unless NBC is just doing this on purpose to make advertisers happier, in which case I’m just going to newly dedicate myself to the virtues of sidereel.com, regardless of the often low-quality video feeds.
Oh the joy in being stalked!
Okay so Facebook has fixed the oddity/glitch where if you arrow down in the search box your 5 top stalkers/stalked comes up, but you can still search “.” and see the same 5.
Now I’m still on the fence on whether or not it’s those you search/those who search you. My 5 are my 2 best friends, my brother and 2 guys I hooked up with in the past. I know I haven’t been searching them, and would really be shocked if they were searching me but maybe they are. I am pretty awesome.
UPDATE!!! Facebook’s statement via Gawker:
“Facebook tries to surface the people we think are most important to users to make it easier and faster for them to navigate the site and find what they are looking for…The search drop down is not a list of those that have searched for the user. It is also not a list of people whose profile the user has viewed the most or who have viewed the user’s profile the most. To avoid any confusion, this will no longer appear.”
I tried the “” thing when I first read this post, and it worked:
1. BF
2. my roommate/classmate Kayley
3. good friend and classmate Josh
4. friend and former classmate Nadia
5. other roommate’s ex-BF Spencer
Other than my boyfriend (who still qualifies, but I know for a fact that I stalk him more than he stalks me. Erm…), these are all people that I generally have spent more time with than most this year, so it makes a kind of sense. But my other roommate, Ilana, isn’t there, which is kind of curious. Then again, I think she probably spends the least amount of time on facebook out of all six of us.
I don’t know what I think about all this. But I’m pretty damn certain facebook has made it impossible to get this list anymore, because I tried it about two hours ago and only got the first five of my friends alphabetically. No periods, quotation marks… nothing. So somebody’s listening to the bloggers out there. Kind of disappointing, though. I’d have liked to see if it ever changed.
Sufjan Stevens - Super Sexy Woman
I love this song. It may be tired to say this, but Sufjan Stevens is the SHIT.
I am developing quite the habit of stealing discarded cowboy boots from stoops. The last pair I took didn’t work out so well, but I found these on my own stoop tonight (???) and they happened to be my size (???!!!).
Yes, it’s a little strange. I think I am meant to have these boots (this time for reals).
I definitely own these exact same boots! Actually, my boyfriend has dubbed them my “killer boots” because of the number of times I’ve fallen on my ass while wearing them…
Stephen King on NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me (via mrgan)
I knew there was a reason I liked Stephen King.
so...
I watched all episodes of Gossip Girl thus far over the space of the past week while procrastinating, and now I think I’m going through withdrawal.
Is that even possible? I need to get off the internet and write some papers…
