OH. MY. GOD.

Open Firefox window. Open AndFarAway tab. Ctrl+R. Nothing. Work a little.
Open Firefox window. Open AndFarAway tab. Ctrl+R. Nothing. Check my email.
Open Firefox window. Open AndFarAway tab. Ctrl+R. Nothing. Stare blankly at window.
Open Firefox window. Open AndFarAway tab. Ctrl+R. Nothing. Make more coffee.
Open Firefox window. Open AndFarAway tab. Ctrl+R. Nothing. Work some more.
Open Firefox window. Open AndFarAway tab. Ctrl+R. Nothing. Bitch to anyone who listens.
Open Firefox window. Open AndFarAway tab. Ctrl+R. Nothing. Start screaming uncontrollably.

That was exactly what the past 3 days were like for me, a case of Ctrl+R OCD, thanks to Yahoo’s unreliable webhosting. The moment my blog rendered after a Ctrl+R, I felt one of the best feelings ever. I never thought I’d be that kind of person, but what do you know.
Anyway, back up and running I guess, unless the gods of servers decide to change their minds, and then… I’ll probably have a heart attack. Otherwise, thanks to everyone who emailed, the guys at the office for putting up with my constant nagging, Ibrahim for letting me steal his blog, Tim and Hal for being super nice, Naseem for making me feel normal about my withdrawal symptoms, and my parents for freaking out along with me.

Wow, that feels like an Oscar speech. I haven’t watched a SINGLE Oscar nominated-movie for the year.

    I can’t recommend a host, but I don’t recommend mine (bluehost). They can’t even handle the very low traffic my blog generates! I exceed daily and hourly bandwidth limit.

    Ahlein. I’ll lend you Juno, best Oscar-nominated movie ever. Wait, is it even nominated?? I don’t know. It will crack you up though, I promise. Even your I-ain’t-sitting-still-to-watch-no-movie ass will like it.

    And yeah, the Hal and Tim team say you’re welcome. Except don’t call us ‘super nice.’ Call him whatever you want, but when someone says ‘super nice’ about me, I just have this sudden urge to prove them wrong. Shoo ‘super?’ You tryin’ to get my homophobia raging or something?????

    Blog your heart out hayati, that would be best thank you ever ;)

    I had this terrible fear that we had lost another blogger to the wedding-planner syndrome. But I knew better: Roba will smash that typology to smitherines. :D
