I wasn't home to watch the convention, but I found a clip online of Senator Clinton requesting to suspend the rules and nominate Barack Obama by acclamation, and of the result, and...

I'll just be over here crying a bit. That was perfect.

Yes We Can.

• 14:04 anyone know anything about IE7? #

I use two browsers at work. Sometimes I use two browsers at home. I've figured out Firefox. But does anyone know how or if I can make URLs typed into the address bar open a new tab in IE7?

I upgraded to Firefox 3 this morning, but discovered that my favorite plug-in--the Tabbrowser Preferences--isn't compatible. So I beseech thee, o flist--what plug-in for Firefox 3 will work the same way that one did? I want something that'll let me manage tabs better and--most importantly--open a new tab when I type a new URL in the address bar. I installed Colorful Tabs but that's not helping me.

Okay, folks. I need help (insert joke here). I am having the following issues:

1. It's Monday. Nuff said.
2. It's an exceedingly gray Monday, and cold enough that I had the defroster on in my car this moring.
3. I've been up and working since my phone rang at 5am.
4. And I just broke a nail. I care less about the way it looks and more about the "ow ow ow" as a result.

I beseech you. Give me happy-making things. Cute pictures of fuzzy animals, cuddlefic, porn, anything except YouTube vids as I'm at work and that's always dangerous.

Cheer me up?

In hopes of being able to stomach the season 6 opener, and because I've been missing my NCIS--back when it was good instead of occasionally decent--I'm embarking on an NCIS marathon. I'm halfway through "Ice Queen" right now.

Anyone want to synch up watching with me? I own s1-s3 and am working on acquiring s4 and s5. Note that I've not seen a lot of s4 and about half of s5.

When I'm done with NCIS I'll probably move on to CSI:NY (although I'm missing s2 as my DVDs are in Australia) or CM (I'm pretty sure I still have all of that). At some point I should catch up with SGA, but...eh.

So. Anyone want to watch NCIS with me, with the caveat that I'm going in order?

Dinner tomorrow?

Drink moar water.

Amazing how much better I feel after drinking half a liter of water--and I think I'm still a bit dehydrated. Still tired though.

Need nap. Will not take one because then I'll never sleep tonight.

I seem to have pulled a muscle in my back, right around my left shoulderblade. This wouldn't be such an issue except it makes eating or drinking a bit painful. Sigh.

Why does Comic-Con not have a written, enforceable policy against harrassment or assault?

It's a bloody enormous media convention. Why is there nothing anywhere in the rules about what to do if you're being harrassed or if you see someone else in that situation?

Read the post. Spread the word.

It's much easier to drink large quantities of water (or any liquid) by doing it in small doses. I can never get through my 32-oz Nalgene bottle at home. But at work I have a 20-oz sipper bottle, and I generally drink about two of those during my 8 hours at work, plus one or two cups of tea.

Totally obvious and common-sensical? Absolutely. But hey, it works.
