I'm so screwed. I was so tired yesterday evening after a long week of work and busyness and whatnot, that I actually went to bed and not just to bed, but to SLEEP at 9 o'clock...ON A FRIDAY NIGHT.* Anders called right before that to say he had just landed at the airport in Copenhagen and would be home in about an hour...but I didn't even hear him come home, poor guy. Then Karin woke up at 3:30 a.m. calling for mama and papa (nightmare) and at 5 a.m. I gave up and got up and turned on the computer in the hopes that I'd surf myself into enough of a stupor that I could fall back asleep again...just in time for Saturday morning cartoons.
Also, can anyone explain why sometimes posts from RSS feeds just don't show up? argh
*I KNOW! You totally want to party with me, don't you?
music: none. it's freaking 5:43 a.m.

Just wait until we are old and our kids have to take care of us. We shall have our "revenge" for all those sleepless nights - and diaper messes filled days. ;-)
And yes, I do want to party with you. Just let me take a nap first. I'm sooooooooooooooooo sleepy too. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Hope you get some rest in between all of your Saturday planed activities.

I hope that you got some sleep by reading my journal.

this made me laugh! thankyou.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I pose another one. Every now and then one of MY rss feeds comes in with all the html markup all showing. I look at the source code and can't find a misplaced parenthesis or anything wrong. Livejournal says the problem is at the source. Are yours just not showing up at all?

I have a few blogs that are sporadic: sometimes the post shows up and sometimes it doesn't, so I'm still forced to go to the website itself now and then to make sure I haven't missed anything. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I have other feeds I've set up on LJ from the XML or feed URL given on a site and they work the first time I set them up and then never again. The only one that shows the HTML markup like you are talking about is Letterman's Top 10 List and it does it EVERY time. I've never seen it happen on any of the other ones I've got.

what the hell is rss? this truly is another culture I've entered.

Hee! If you look at my userinfo page (click on "zird is the word"), under the friends list, you'll see a list of 43 feeds, with a little satellite symbol. Those are non-LJ websites that have a special language code built into them that allows the posts to show up on your friends page. You can put lots of stuff there that way, and then you only have to go to 1 place, your friends page, to see everything you want to read, instead of clicking on a zillion different websites (if you're like me, that is).

Whatever you say dear. *pat pat*
[Humor aside, thank you for your continued patience with an absolute computer neophyte trying to hang with the nerds]

3:30 a.m. calling for mama and papa (nightmare) and at 5 p.m. I gave up
Okay, couldn't resist. It took you thirteen and a half hours to give up? Now I know you need to get offline and GET SOME SLEEP.
My RSS feeds are okay I think. I certainly got Waiter Rant, Scary Duck, Jill Walker etc yesterday.

argh. I'm the typo queen lately. I did go back to sleep, although it wasn't very deep, and dozed on and off until about 9:30, so I feel better if not exactly rested.
2005-03-12 12:33 pm (UTC)
You and I have had opposite existences the last 24 hours. For I was GOING to bed when you were JUST GETTING UP.
I haven't done that in I don't know how long. Your first sentence, though, is my sentiment exactly. "I'm so screwed."
2005-03-12 01:38 pm (UTC)
That explains it. T was on the computer, and said "Who's Lizardek, they just signed on." I explained who you are and where you lived and then we both wondered why you were up so early!
P.S. He said "Who is LizARDek"
2005-03-12 03:13 pm (UTC)
haha! Tell him it's pronounced Liz-ZIRD-Ek! :D

welcome to the nine o'clock club. i've been attending three nights this week, although my sleep's been spotty and i have gotten up at five.

Going to sleep early on a Friday night is my kind of party! Preferably with some nice food and wine before, to lull one into a party snooze.
