In reference to This: You can open up ports 5353 and 3689 as often as you want, but if you’ve got TWO FIREWALLS running, your Apple TV isn’t going to sync, no matter what.
It’s loading up file 4 of 4,133 right now … fingers crossed, this shit will be working by morning.

Two Chicks in the Parking Lot Crack Wise on the Price of Fame
Earlier today, a man I don’t know walked up to my cubicle and said, “Meredith, do you support Roger Saulman?” (Roger Saulman [not his real name] sits in the big ol’ fancy office right next to my tiny unfancy corner cubicle.)
The guy meant “support” as in “are you the administrative assistant to” but my synapses [...]

Shit = Lost.
About three weeks ago, I bought an Apple TV, because I wanted to be able to listen to my music in the living room, and this seemed like the most sensical solution. Last week, I bought a laptop for home music and writing. I spent a day transferring my iTunes library onto new laptop. All [...]

Weekend Thoughts
1. I was all jazzed up for the return of SNL with Tina Fey as host. I was disappointed. No 30 Rock skit? Why lead with the Bret Michaels skit instead of the There Will Be Blood skit? (Yes, I love any Blood joke.) And that digital short was the biggest flaming pile of poo [...]

Five for Friday
These songs are in heavy rotation in my ears today, and since I still have writer’s block, this will again have to suffice as content.
If I Had Eyes — Jack Johnson
Short Skirt, Long Jacket — Cake
Supernatural Superserious — REM
Need Your Needs — Georgie James
Timebomb — Beck
Each says something very specific about the kind [...]

Suck It, Presidents
Total Vomits: 15-20
Hours Spent in ER: 6 (My second trip in a little more than two months.)
Diagnosis: Viral stomach bug with severe dehydration (I was taking a sip of water and then THROWING UP A SIP OF WATER. And chugging water so I could throw up the chugged water, and feel better for 5 seconds.)

This Will Have to Do as New Content Until I Slog Through This Bout of Winter Writer’s Block
This came in the mail today:

Other Crap I’ve Written Recently
Best 8(15) Episodes of ‘Lost’
I like ‘Lost,’ a lot, but this took a crazy amount of time and research to pull together. And even after doing all that research, I’ve got no bloody idea what’s going on.
IFLTS: ‘The General Specific,’ by Band of Horses
I fear Scott is going to throw both iPods and the Apple [...]

ON THE BED ON THE FLOOR ON A TOWEL BY THE DOOR
The current state of our (really, my) DVR kind of says a lot about me; in chronological order:
30 Rock

Just going by that you might draw the conclusion that I’m a neurotic woman who should consider therapy, and who also [...]

Birds They Fly So High, And They Can Shit on Your Head
Last night, in the very, very dead center of the night, I woke up to the sound of Scott screaming in his sleep.
This happens frequently; not that he has frequent nightmares, but when he does, he will scream in his sleep. It used to scare the crap out of me, but now, after years of [...]
