Sometimes I’m afraid to do that with Word Press for fear of freaky shit happening and never being able to blog again. Because I blog so regularly these days. But if the opportunity wasn’t there, just in case I wanted to blog, I’d be pissed, I know I would. At any rate, the upgrade doesn’t seem to have borked anything, so that’s good.
I’m working on my final paper for my final class (final paper for pre-modern China class was turned in on Thursday). I think I’m going to be okay, since the prof says we should consider everything we’ve done so far in class as a draft, which I take to mean as “fair game, go ahead and put this in your paper verbatim if I didn’t say anything was wrong with it.” Now, I’m adding another four sources and looking for topics that can be researched further, but I still feel okay about it. I really want to ace it, though, because if I do, I could be looking at an A+ on my report card, something that has not happened since…well, I don’t know that it’s ever happened. I’ve gotten plenty of As, even in grad school, but an A+ on anything that wasn’t a quiz that had extra credit questions? No. And if I can get one on this, on the basis of three really good papers on Benjamin Franklin, I feel like I’ll have served him in much better stead than I did as an undergrad when I got a B on my senior thesis about him. Sorry, Ben. Trying to make it up to you…
I’m going to get back to that. It’s snowing and gross out anyway, so nothing better to do for the next several hours until the new Doctor Who special comes on anyway. Wish me luck!

I don’t know if it’s a plugin or maybe my hosting company, but I’ve pretty much given up on upgrading right now. I had to pay my hosting company $50 (a very well spent $50) to retrieve my blog because I accidentally deleted everything. INCLUDING my back up. I was just about ready to puke over it. But I got it all back except for 2 comments. ::whew::
Switch over to Blue Host, I’ve never had a problem with them and I don’t think Regan has either. The only upgrade problems I’ve ever had were because of my own idiocy. Do you use the Automatic Upgrade plugin?
Wow i was worried about u my lil Brooklyn friend.
Now i know you have had your head in the books…good girl.
I do miss your blogs and was so happy to see this today.
Looks like you are getting quite a bit of snow. Stay warm.

I have every confidence in your ability to write a dynamite paper and get an A+! Go Julz!
I found out about the new Dr. Who specials before they aired so I was good. However, I missed the 9 pm showing last night and didn’t want to stay up until 1:30 am (being an old guy and all). You have no idea what I went through to watch it on the internet instead. But I did! Also can’t wait until Saturday.
Hope you guys didn’t get too buried out there.
Vince~I think Waters of Mars is the scariest Doctor Who I’ve ever seen, worse than Blink. I caught two seconds of a documentary about caves with dripping water this afternoon and couldn’t watch anymore. But it was also brilliant – David Tennant is going out in a blaze of glory! Next weekend I’ll be away, but the TiVo is set and Rick is under orders not to touch it if he values his life.
Joanie~Head is still in the books, I haven’t even gone out in the snow. It looks like 6 or 8 inches, but I can’t be sure. But yep, still here!
