So I had this entire grumpy post, and now I do not.

This is why.

thefourthvine sees girls lining up to watch the three AM premiere of the movie Eclipse.

Oh, and girls? Please don't laugh along with people you think are laughing at you. Nothing you're doing is stupid or embarrassing. You care about something. You love something. It's important to you, and that makes it valuable. If people think that's funny? Please, please: just tell them to go fuck themselves.

I wish this could be handed out on embossed cards. And not just to teenage girls.

The universe just got exponentially more awesome. How did I not see this before?

LOLCode

I can totally sit here and love this with all my heart. The internet is made of win.

Anyone else on stupid_free and sf_drama?

Because seriously, fandom is officially the most mundane place on the internet when we can't do shit like this.

People? Take notes. This is awesome. This is--the pinnacle of what the snark/wank communities should be. This is beautiful.

*reading, enchanted*

Titanic the Sequel Trailer

That is just freaking awesome.

( spoilers for movies )

PS: I had no idea Leonardo diCaprio cried so much.

ETA: updated movie list! I--think we accounted for every scene now?

Okay, my day? Got so much better. And three of thoes things involved geekery.

1.) The phone thing is solved. Well, mostly. I don't *understand* why creditors think I owe them money, but that is what call block is for. And youknow, ordering a copy of my credit report. Whee!

2.) Okay. Now. Binary. I understand what the hell it is. This is what I was trying to explain--memorization and understanding. I was tested on thsi stuff once upon at time and got through it without any idea of what the hell. Then it was like--oh! Eight! Sixteen! Thirty-two! Bits! THE LAST ONE IS A POSITIVE/NEGATIVE! I ONLY NEED TO MEMORIZE UP TO 2 TO THE FOURTEENTH POWER! I had this huge geek out while translating random numbers into binary at the bus stop. It was very fun. My professor kept trying not to laugh at me while im like, look! 32000! I HAVE IT HERE! LOOK AT THE PRETTY PATTERNS!

Then I was like WAIT HOW DO YOU GET THE ONE HUNDRED DIGITS OF PI and he sighed and looked at me and remembered abruptly I was the one asking about reverse engineering from exe to source and realized, yes. This would be his life while I was in his class.

3.) Got a cell phone. It has bluetooth! I just synched my laptop with it! AND I AM IN THE ZONE!

Thank you. You may all now return to your regularly scheduleld program. Um, those who had any of my old cell numbers? Post here or email me so I can give the new one.

*HAPPY*

IT IS A GOOD DAY!

(random--so is there a command that's not int or double that covers 64 and 128?)

HAPPY.

(still pissy at my boss, but Ill probably play with my phone a lot to compensate.)

PS: I forgot to squee about values. I had this revelatory moment of comprehension about ASCII and char, double, int, float, and I was like--ohhhh. Oh my GOD. This is what this is?? I THOUGHT THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE?

Er. Yeah. Carry on. But God. Good class day.

Extremely good essay by poisontaster - And the fault is not in making the mistake and using the 'wrong' words. We all make mistakes. We all sometimes say less (or more) than we mean. No. The question—and any potential fault—is in what we do afterward.

To balance the fact I now have a tag for stupidity, I should create a tag for awesome. So it is done.

ETA:

An open letter to the mods of deviant_daily by oulangi - Look, I understand its horrible and hurtful to be accused of racism. But those first emails were NOT accusations. It was an objection to an offensive word Zvi thought you’d used accidentally. If her letter seemed angry and offensive to you, well – she was angry and offended. Rightfully so. Just because the offense was accidental does not mean people don’t have the right to be offended.

(Yes, I know all of these will show up in metafandom, but they cheer me up immensely and control the urge to look for more award winning idiots.)
