Yes, I Am Me

I'm about ready to tear my hair out because Ticket Web is refusing to let me purchase tickets for the Frames + Josh Ritter concert that I'm dying to go to next Friday. Look, people, I know I put the right billing address in; I just called the bank about it earlier this week. I told Mark that I'll have to call the box office tomorrow and beg for the ability to reserve tickets--otherwise, I'll show up the night of the concert, be unable to get in, and I'll have to fall to my knees on the sidewalk with much loud lamenting of the sackcloth and ashes variety. No one wants that. It might freak out the customers. On the other hand, that's what you get when you destroy the hopes of a student who has only just pulled through a horrific fortnight of midterms by dreaming of that one evening. Not that I've made it through that awful fortnight yet. The worst of the midterms is set for 8:30 tomorrow morning. That should be my signal to sign off and go to bed, methinks.

Unhappy Stat Checking

At some point I'm going to catch on to the fact that I shouldn't look too closely at who is linking to me when I'm in a bad mood. Why? Because hotlinkers tick me off. Hotlinkers with no way for me to contact them to request that they cease and desist tick me off even more. I mean, the hordes of teenage angst infested Xanga blogs linking to an icon here or there are annoying on principle, but hardly damaging. All of the people using my Phantom of the Opera wallpaper, though, are pushing it. It's great that people like it, but, for the sake of my wallet, people, upload to your own server. Some days I just feel like pulling my hair out.
