I've got good news and bad news. Very Bad News...

Okay, first, the good news-- I almost have my machine up and running, so that I can keep my lil' site updated for y'all again. (Yay!) Turns out it was a bad mobo. I'm still in the middle of fixing it while doing other things as well. (Like working.) So, I should have an update up sometime tonight.

Now the Bad News. After perusing my usual scheduling sources, it appears as though the Daily Dose has disappeared from my 2-week radar. It has not, I repeat, NOT disappeared from the 4-week radar, so it may just be a break while MTV runs some lame promo weeks. (Like "WWF week.") The Weekend Reruns have also vanished completely from the radar as well. No, I don't know why. It just has. Here's the short schedule for the next 14 days: (all times EDT/PDT)

Wed., 8/11/99 7:30 "The Lawndale File" 10:00 "Just Add Water"

Wed. 8/18/99 9:30 "Just Add Water" 10:00 "Jane's Addiction"

Wed. 8/25/99 10:00 "It Happened One Nut"

That's it. Everything.

CAVEAT: Remember, this IS MTV we're talking about, so their 2-week schedule is subject to complete, total, and utter change WITHOUT WARNING. I'll try to keep on top of this as best I can.

(You know, when I facetiously agreed to take over the schedule after PD went down last Fall, I had no idea it could become such a Royal Pain In The Ass. Thankfully, everyone tells me that I provide a valuable service, so I at least get a warm, fuzzy feeling from that, if nothing else. This also teaches me an Important Lesson-- don't ever praise MTV's Scheduling Dept. for doing anything that looks remotely intelligent-- it's not only a jinx, but it's also like praising a cow for crapping on your number in a game of cow-pattie bingo-- given an infinite number of chances, something will go your way, simply by random chance. It's got nothing to do with intelligence.)

yr. humble servant, rich.

Glad to hear it.

I happened to be home from work today and thought, "I bet I can catch 'Daria' at 1:00!" Silly me.

You do an excellent job. I know you've heard this from me before, but I'll keep saying it.

Guess what? My computer's FINALLY fixed. Special Kudos to Chad, who helped save me from trashing another mobo. If it wasn't for him, I don't know WHEN I'd get my little dog n' pony show back online.

(BTW, Chad-- I found a nice little bag o' hardware treasure in one my desk drawers, full of those little brass spacers--- and this time, they were the right size for the case! Spooky...)

tired, but a good kind of tired, yr. humble servant, rich.

Well, it's time to add my public thanks to rich. I don't know what I'd do without the ol' Paperpusher site. That message board is killer! (shameless plug)

Given this comment, I think we'll have to add "literary genius" to the accolades. What a brilliant image, and even without profanity.
