Oh what fun...
So, it isn't just me having a spot of trouble with Blogger.com these days, is it?
I attempted to start a new blog for our performance troupe... one that would be specificly about the troupe without all the rambling stories of my personal exisitance... so I created the blog, even wrote the first post... but when I try to view it, blogger.com insists that the url does not exist. The URL that blogger.com GAVE me-- does not exisit.
So I started looking for tech help. Ha. Right. Finally I found the message boards and about 100 posts on that board with a number of problems... photos wont up load, people can't log in, entries dissapearing... etc etc etc. Even though I never found any answer to my own little problem, it was gratifying to know that other folk are just as miserable as I am. Misery loves company.
Anyway... rants aside, things have been moving smoothly for the most part. Summer job is fairly decent... I'm working in the scene shop at KSU doing some odd job type stuff... building a cabinet here, fixing a shelf there, cleaning tools and re-stocking inventory and all that sort of thing. It's mindless work, but I get to set my own hours and I'm more or less my own boss... so that's good. It's indoors, so thats good too, considering the average temperature for the last three weeks has been something like 1500 degrees celcius. I just don't remember it gettting so hot so early in June... that global warming thing is for real I guess. Maybe it's time to look into moving north...
We're in a bit of a lull on the entertainment troupe side of things, but we do have a couple gigs coming up. This weekend MOPO will be strolling at the Renaissance Faire of the Midlands in Council Bluffs IA. This faire has been going on for years... in fact, it's predecessor was one of the very first Ren Faire's I attended by myself. Sheeesh... that must have been the late 80's. Maybe '88 or so. I know I was still driving the white Ford Maverick then... because it conked out on me and left me stranded at the college where the faire used to be held. Transmission blew. (On the car... not the college.) So anyway... suffice to say it's an event I've been attending for some time, and I'm very happy to be a part of it at long last.
On the Pirate side of things, we have a show on the River City Star cruise boat on July 7, and another the next week on July 15. From what I understand, there may be another gig in late June, but the Captain hasn't gotten all the details yet...
So in the meantime, work sleep eat... play a little PS2 football, wait for Spiderman 3 to come out (yah, long wait I know. But have you heard that Topher Grace might be playing Venom? How strange does that sound?) and reminicing on X3. (Which I liked... but what was the deal with the Golden Gate Bridge? I know Magneto is a showboat and everything, but that seemed a little extreeme... even for him.)
Ah well... fingers tired. Catch y'all later!

Hey Mr ESV---I too have struggled under a free service that I don't feel I can complain about---because hey, it's free. What do you expect.
But it has gotten, and continues to get, much better.
Love the video, too. By they way.
Free it may be... but still... when you offer any kind of service and want people to use it, you should at least acknowledge when there's problems and let folk know you're trying to sort them out.
