Slow Weekend Ahead

Robert will be computerless from Friday morning until late Monday. He’ll check in via his Treo whenever he can. Rosanne will be around, but she has a busy weekend planned, so you’re bound to notice a slowing of the pace on the blog.

The May random thread could be delayed by a day, but we’ll try to get all of the birthday threads started before the slowdown hits.

Things should be back to normal (whatever that means) next week.

–Your overcommitted GAPAs

  1. attention addministrators!!!! Please take me off of the fan page for now. School is taking up too much time for me to blog, so just take me off until the summer months, but I wont be named ruroken, but something about swords. Keep an eye out for me.

  2. We don’t take people off the Fan Page; to disappear, you just stop posting. (I guess we could de-list your birthday, but there’s not much point in that.) Anyway, good luck with school, and we’ll see you later!

  5. Well, the GAPAs have lives too, right? If I were a computer nerd, I would scratch the “too”, but seeing as I am not, I will just say that in this somewhat lengthy sentence.

    You know, I really ought to get factual evidence on the GAPA part, too.

    I’m gonna guess that a Treo is a type of computer with Internet capabilities.

  6. But he said he was computerless…

    And i would scratch the “too” too. Computer nerds aren’t the only ones without lives, i for one, have no life and yet i still can’t do fascinating computer nerdy stuff. :D

  9. “Normality restored. Anything you still can’t cope with is therefore your own problem.”

    I am totally sorry that the blog has gone down. It’s like Dahl’s sweetshop in Boy, which I am beginning to suspect is wholly fictional, in the fact that it is the very centre of our lives. Sigh. I’ll just have to be insane by myself.

    I get to go to ACon (Anime Convention) and go to see the HYDE concert. Oh, I am soooo lucky. So I might not pine away, refusing to eat or sleep but wander around gaunt-faced and clammy. Or I could sit on a bust of Pallas and say “Nevermore” in authoritarian, slightly spooky tones, scaring the doublet and hose off whoever comes near by hissing in their ears and then screaming evilly. Yeah.

  12. I’ll be able to moderate comments a few times a day over the weekend. And Robert will have his trusty Treo. So the blog definitely won’t grind to a complete halt. But comments will probably take longer than usual to get moderated.

  17. 12 – You get to go to ACon??? Lucky!!! Have fun!!!

  18. Excellent!

    If I understand this correctly, it means that if I post enough posts, there could be 300 posts posted on Muse Movie by the time things get back in gear.

    Question before you go: Has any thread ever been lucky enough to reach 1,000 posts?

  21. But even if you don’t, all I have to say to Laney and Tiffany is, I hope you guys were playing some kind of cruel joke.

    (If you weren’t, I have one more thing to say: GAYKOKKENOFFENYOM!!! That’s Yiddish for “Go poop in the ocean.” A (very much so) looser translation is “I’m a nerd, and proud! Nerds rule the world, in case you haven’t noticed.”)

  23. I like Treos. During a really sad debate round I watched (one team was horrible, and I didn’t know anything about what they were debating about, so it was really boring) one of the judges sitting in front of us had a Treo. My friend sitting beside me was writing notes to me through the whole thing (and I was replying), and she kept talking about how she wanted to steal it (we were really bored). She tried it one time, but the guy turned around so she had to throw her hand back really fast. Anyway, randomness.

  24. 24-the phantasmagoria was 1200 posts in 3 parts. Dunno if that counts. The first part was 722 posts though, so yes, past 500 anyway.

  25. The GAPAs wouldnt let a thread reach 1000 posts, because some people’s servers are too slow to load that much. I think they usually cut it off and make a new thread for the same topic around 350 posts.

    Mi padre has a Treo.

    i just spent about 2.5 hours looking through the long lists of various issues, columns, articles, events, comics, and quotes you have on this extensive web site.
    i’m the only person i know of in my grade who reads Muse, but I told a friend about it. and, anyways, i live in a tiny town full of idiots. : (

    wow, i can barely survive computerless…i must change that.

    I’m trying to get my oohian friends to read muse though.

    But that’s why the blog’s so cool, isn’t it? You can meet all the musers that you don’t know in real life.

  31. Yeah, sometimes I think you would all hate me if you knew me in real life. I’m strangely awkward. And kind of ridiculous. And I get kind of carried away emotionally… like laughin super hard or getting really really mad.
    So the blog is a nice solution.

  35. 45, 46, 48- I actually like everybody, except for four human beings. Three of them are incredibly annoying, and the other one actually said that she thought I liked one of the annoying guys, so all of them have something against them. But I like everyone else I know. Honest.

  38. 49- No, it didn’t mean you couldn’t have a political belfeif if you weren’t in high school. It was more saying that the kinds of groups you belong to in school (jocks, preps, geeks) largely affect your political stance later in life. It used high school as the subject, but I don’t see why it doesnt also apply to middle and maybe even elemantary school

    48+53- Ahh. So many nice people… Yeah, I don’t actually think you folks would hate me. It’s just that sometimes I have days where I feel really irritating (not irritated- irritating) and no matter how hard I try I cant stop. But it’s all cool. Love, peace and hot pink bunnies.

    I am not one of them. I think it’s disguisting. Yet i idolize the stuff. It’s very odd. Must be the britishness.

    Read the Gospel of Spamabix (spam-flavored weetabix) that my friend wrote! I think it’s on the old randomness thread somewhere…

  42. Yay, I’m a frood!
    Weetabix is kinda weird and soggy, of you put to much milk on it. I like putting one biscuit in just a leetle bit of milk and drizziling it with honey, or with berries. Or if you put butter and vegemite on it, it’s good.
    Does anyone else here like vegemite? I’m guessing lauren might, coz she’s an Aussie, but anyone else?

  43. I like Weetabix, but I don’t eat them very often. I have heard of Vegemite, but I don’t kow what it is and I have never seen it. I have mostly heard negative things about it like that it tastes very nasty and strong and that it is an aquired taste. Is it actually made of Vegetables? That is my main question.

  44. When I went to camp, one of the counselors was from austrailia, and had a jar of vegemite he dared people to try.

    I like weetabix with peanut butter.
