Time I went to bed: 5am
Time I was woken for work stuff: 7:30am
Am extremely tired, cranky, and pissy, the latter two of which mean the same thing, but describes perfectly how I feel. :-l x 10000000000000000
But so that this post has a point other than just me whining, here's a PSA on spyware.
Fuck You, Spyware
Many of you have probably already experienced the pain of spyware. You probably have it, whether or not you think you do. It's just that if it doesn't affect computer functionality, most people don't notice. Well, spyware pisses me off, and after finding a whole crapload of it on my home machine last night, I've decided that these fuckers must be thwarted whenever possible. It's not fucking right.
If you've had spyware problems, you probably already know of these resources; if you don't, I suggest you run these at least every week or so. Even if spyware doesn't affect your computer functionality, doesn't it piss you off that these fuckers are spying on everything you do and are oftentimes making a profit from it??? Anyway, yeah. Thwart them by using:
- Spybot, Search and Destroy: Download Spybot, then after you've run it to check your system, go back and download the detection updates.
- Lavasoft Ad-aware: Great as supplementary to Spybot, will often catch stuff that Spybot might have missed.
- Doxdesk Detection Script: The script will check your browser for parasites, and Webmasters can download the script and install on their own sites to prevent companies from spying on what your users do on the site and extra advertising from invading your site. There's also a lot of helpful information about spyware and its ilk.
And now, because I can ...
How big a blink fan are you? We'll see, won't we? <g> Tell me the song titles these are from...
Edit: I have added the answers if you'd like to know what they are. But in case other people want to continue playing, I have made them the background color (assuming you haven't personalized your LJ friends' comments pages), so to know what a particular song is, just highlight the area after the lyric.

And yes, they totally played "My December," but I had already heard it before that. (I downloaded it from somewhere, and then it was on their "Reanimation" CD.) Chester is so fucking sexy, man. And he sang that song when he had a cold, and ... it was so. damn. good. <3
