eruthros1. PSA: If you, too, use NoScript and had difficulty with youtube's new format, and eventually had to allow about:blank scripts to get videos to play, you might've had a NoScript-FlashBlock conflict.
How I fixed it: I went to NoScript's options -> embeddings -> and checked "apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too." And then I disabled FlashBlock. And now I can stop allowing about:blank, which was really irritating me -- it made no SENSE.
This is what I get for not actually reading the NoScript release notes for all the upgrades!
2. Actual subject line of an email I received today: "See us soon at Whole Foods. And see BABIES." From Stonyfield Yogurt, which, how do they even have my email address?
I had this immediate double-take: see babies? I'll be so excited by the convergence of yogurt and babies that my ovaries will break? What? Then I realized that they mean the film babies. I was still weirded out, though.
3. Yesterday I posted to two whole dreamwidth communities! Okay, I might co-mod both of them, but even so I felt pretty pleased. Someday I will get over shyness! Someday!
4. I am about to buy several kinds of capris in like three different sizes with the full knowledge that I will send some back, because I am just so sick of not having any and not being able to buy any here and buying some on the internet and having them fail to fit. I will triumph over shopping!

Date: 2010-04-29 06:21 pm (UTC)I think part of it is that I've never been a really community-oriented fan, too; I use the X Fandom Roundup communities and read fandom noticeboards, but I've rarely been a member of the Lots of Talk communities. So I still have that mailling-list sense of "but why would everyone care what I think" or "but what if I don't know all the rules?"
