Okay, so here's what's going on. Our call for the Haunted House was supposed to be closer to 7pm, but it's now at 6pm, which is right after I get off work. After it's over we're striking everything which will probably last past the deadline. So I'll probably be a woman of very few words toDay, as I know I won't have time to put together any long posts. Just so you all know I'm not avoiding you or anything, or that I'm intentionally being submarine-ish.


Anyway, have to head out to work. Will post when/what I can. Oh, and Happy Halloween!!!!!

So. November 2nd marks the end of Daylight Savings time here in the good ol' US of A. I'm not sure when it happens, I think it's usually 2 in the morning... which for me is an hour after the deadline. So it shouldn't be affecting the start of Day 4, but it will affect the end, depending on where you are. I don't know what's going on in Europe, if any tinkering with clocks is occurring. But here my clock will be turned back an hour. Right now I am exhausted and can barely see my computer screen, so forgive me for not being able to tell you if the deadline's going to be an hour sooner or later or what have you. I know that currently my timezone is GMT -5 and I do believe that after the change it'll be GMT -6.

Daylight savings totally messed me up, guys. Really sorry for not showing up .

My laptop completely died today (how sad ) and I'm going to need to buy a new one. Which means for the next few days I'm solely relying on libraries and computer labs for any computer access. So I apologise ahead that I won't be around much during the Day, and not at all around deadline hours.

Oh no! (Sidenote: what kind did you have, and what kind are you getting?)


Don't worry about it, love. We understand. Hope everything works out okay computerwise.

I had an HP Pavilion. I loved it a lot, but I must've gotten one from a bad batch because it's been causing me many different issues since I bought it. I'll probably buy another HP, but I'm not exactly sure just yet.

Don't spend your dough on that! Get a Mac! Way better performance, unless you're in to something specific not made for Macs.
