I had a television-induced earworm earlier, and had lines like, "he'll fly his astral plane," floating through my brain, all because of not being able to remember the song that I should have been reminded of.

I was about to post that it looked like I'd be missing RenFest entirely this year due to a combination of financial and scheduling obstacles. I just got a text message that changes one side of that; now to figure out whether I can manage the other half.

The last two days, I have gotten enough sleep! But I've goten it at really, really inconvenient times (and yesterday pain at the needs-codeine level meant undoing some of that sleep benefit with the caffeine in the codeine tablets, but I was still ahead of where I'd been most of the week). Now if I can finish all the stuff that needs to Be Done Now and fall asleep during the nighttime tonight, maybe the weekend will look do-able after all.

I spent way too long last night beating my head against ought-to-be-trivial audio-output problems that crop up whenever I reboot. I've got something tangled up in the configuration on this box and I'm not sure how I managed to do that (I also have to log in as root and change a bunch of permissions in the /dev directory before I can log in as myself after a reboot). None of my other Linux machines have issues like this.

My GJ is under sttack from a spambot (or a zombie army -- several IP addresses are involved). I finally set it to default to screening anonymous comments (as I'd already had to do on LJ).
