I host my site with Philhosting.net and I must say it is The. Absolute. Worst. Thursday night I tried to log in to WP admin, just to be redirected to a frigging 404 page, because my site was down. When I tried to log in via FTP, the directory listing was displayed as EMPTY. I wanted to try their Live Support chat but of course it was offline–IT USUALLY IS–from that night all the way until yesterday afternoon (you’d think they’d have the decency to be online during fucking office hours, but no). The service wasn’t restored until Friday night, and the support ticket that I sent in with my complaint went unanswered, naturally. And there was another hours-long episode of downtime just weeks ago.

Long story short, if you ever need a web host, do NOT go with Philhosting.net.

It turns out we might to have to bring our mother in for her angioplasty earlier than we expected, since the doctor advised us not to wait any longer than a month. I’m glad there’s five of us siblings to get through these things. It could be a tough couple of months that we’re looking at, but I think we’ll be ok.

I’ve developed a bad habit of watching a lot of gory forensic stuff (does anyone else watch Bones? It’s brilliant.) and then having trouble sleeping at night. As it is with me, I have no problem watching the damn things, but when it’s time to sleep the mental images fuel my imagination, and that’s when I get spooked. And it’s not even the images of decaying and dismembered bodies (click here for creepy photo of decomp! LOLOLOL) that really freak me out–apparently I’m not an overly squeamish person–but the brutal methods of killing. It definitely makes a little harder to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. XD

Next blog entry is about football. I said I’d try to quit blogging about football but I take it back–I’m a bit stressed so I’m holding on to whatever welcome distraction I can get.  LOL
