I've got nothing to say

really I don't. except that this post is hilarious:

(Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in Brokeback Mountain - can you EVEN imagine????)

thanks for all the advice on the grammar question I had the other day. I'm gonna see that teacher tomorrow and tell him what you all said - and what I believed all along.

I've got nothing to report today. I'm just getting more and more frustrated with my job - but it's money and I get a month off with pay, so I guess I need to stop complaining and just deal with it!

So before I go, I need to ask a favor. Can anyone reading this please see if you can get into the following sites:

www.davidlynch.com/

http://interviewproject.davidlynch.com

I can't get into them for the last several days, and when I try to access David Lynch's interview project from Facebook, I get a Trojan virus warning. I was able to get into both sites before, so I can't really believe it's because I'm in a foreign country. These are big sites - one is David Lynch's own site. I am really in disbelief that there is nothing on google about these sites being down - so I must be the only person who can't access them. Except that I can't get into it from my husband's computer either. I'm using Windows Vista, Firefox (and I also tried Internet Explorer), and I cleared my history and cookies and all... so it makes no sense!

UPDATE

I think I figured out that my virus protection program (a free program called Avast) was blocking the sites. I turned off my virus protection for a minute and was able to access both sites. BUT, I still don't understand it - because even with the protection turned off, I still couldn't watch the videos. And that's the whole point of the Interview Project website. And I don't get why Avast considers these sites to be a risk??!!

so anyway - it's a big mystery I guess. I could change my virus protection program, but that's such a big pain just for one site. Sorry David Lynch - I love you but your site's a big pain!

wow, some of those movies would be vastly different.

Sorry work is frustrating darling ::giant hugs::

I can get into the sites, so I am not sure what is the problem for you. Maybe your security software settings got changed somehow...maybe you want to check it out see if somehow it got on a higher protection than you wanted. I hope you can figure it out darling

::giant hugs and sends good vibes your way::

to edited: sorry the virus protection is being evil...it might not be your computer, it might be that the sites are running slow.

yes - and some of the movies would be unwatchable like Brokeback Mountain with Affleck and Damon!

yea it has something to do with my security software - it's Avast and it's blocking those sites for some reason. I don't think there's much I can do about it.

thanks hon! *giant hugs back* and thanks for the vibes. hope you're having a good week!

Yes, that does sound scary...so does the Schwarzenegger/stallone face off movie...

Aww, I am sorry the software is giving you trouble...bad avast not doing its job (Or I guess doing it too well)

You are welcome, much love. ::Hugs:: My week is going okay, I hope you are having a good week.

Oh in either my journal or your journal, I said something about making Up icons, I made 4, you can find them here...http://community.livejournal.com/damnedsisters/20742.html

::hugs again::
