NEW YORK — Yesterday, in New York City, M-A-C VIVA GLAM VI spokesperson, Fergie, announced 11 new grants from the M-A-C AIDS Fund (MAF) aimed at preventing the spread of HIV among young people, ages 15-24, who account for more than half of all new infections. The $2.3 million M-A-C AIDS Fund's Global Youth Prevention Initiative is being funded exclusively from sales of Fergie's VIVA GLAM VI Special Edition Lipgloss.
"As a musician, I'm able to reach a wider audience about issues close to my heart, and through the VIVA GLAM campaign, I've been able to get this message across to youth around the world. I'm so gratified that my lipglass has raised funds to help prevent youth across the globe from contracting HIV."

Go, Fergie!

Part 2 today

A House Divided continues. I am working on part 3 right now and this will seriously be the last part. It's starting to come back around to what I had originally planned, so everything is good.

My next trick is finding that missing fanfic which went AWOL and replacing it. Stay tuned.

The products of yesterday's Labor

Well, the holiday's over, and I suppose I need to get back to work on this site. I've made some small progress on that fanfic, and it is not one of my best, but it's going up in parts starting today because it's still very, very long.

Part 1 of A House Divided you may have already read.

Part 2 goes up tomorrow.

Fergie really gets into politics

DENVER - First word on Barack Obama's historic nomination acceptance speech from a bevy of celebrities in attendance was decidedly partisan: "It was excellent," Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie said. "It was amazing."

The Black Eyed Peas performed a concert at the Fillmore Auditorium for the Creative Coalition. Fergie praised Hillary Rodham Clinton's Tuesday-night speech, saying Clinton "really spoke to me as a woman. And I think she spoke to a lot of people in that way."

Review is up!

Funny Money has been reviewed and put up on the site.

Illuminating mistake

I had "Fun Fun Fun" laughing at this blunder from Funny Money. As the camera pans up to get a good shot of the dancers,

You can see stage lights!

Daytime stars, perhaps? I almost missed them because I was too busy puzzling over the columns and fresco over what is supposed to be the school.

I am working on it RIGHT NOW

Even as you read this, I am fixing everything and reviewing Funny Money and reaming out the asshole hosts.

Keep coming back and PLEASE DON'T STOP POSTING and stick with me, I promise there will be a new review as soon as I can get it on here!!

Finally, a craptastic answer to my craptastic webhost service

And of course, it's mean, rotten idiots!

This is the transcript of the chat that I had today.

Chat24x7: Welcome to live chat, my name is Lisa, please hold for a moment, I am reviewing your question.
Chat24x7: There is still load on the server
Dawne: what am I supposed to do?
Chat24x7: you can access your site in next couple of muntes
Dawne: that's what you said a few minutes ago
Dawne: Is this what happens every single day? Because my site goes down every single day
Chat24x7: We are finding the clients who are creating load on the server and terminate them on the server to provide better service to the clients like you
Dawne: in the meantime? I can only get my home page to load.
Chat24x7: Once server load down to the normal you can access all your services
Dawne: Why does this happen every single day at random times?
Chat24x7: Some clients run malicious scripts on the server so that it creates high load on the server
Dawne: ugh
Dawne: it would be just my luck

Okay, I am done being cast as The Webmistress who Cried Outage!

Tell me this is not frustrating: The site goes down (as it usually does, and you can bear me out on that!). I go to my inept in 5 languages webhost's site and file a complaint. Then the site comes back - usually whole, but sometimes not. Surprise, surprise, the answer to my support ticket comes back and says "We checked your site and it is fine"!!! YEAH, NOW, BUT IT'S BEEN 3 HOURS SINCE I SENT THE DAMN TICKET!!

Okay, maybe tickets were the wrong way to go. So the next time the site is gone, I try their newfangled live chat thingy. That should be quick, right? WRONG?

The site goes down. I pull up the chat. Lo and behold, Mr. or Ms. $2 an hour checks the site, and oh yes it is all very much working my friend! BUT THE SITE IS NOT WORKING FOR ME, THE WEBMISTRESS! I swear to God someone has my site hooked up to a light switch and they just click it on and off whenever there's a dull moment!

No, I haven't forgotten the sound files

Even in my distressed state, I added the first few from Season 3.

Unfortunately, there are some hiccups in my episodes, so some files might not be so great. I am going to try to fix them again later if I can.
