Goddamnit.

I let me subscription to OD+ elapse, and when i finally renewed… well, they took my money, but it didn’t renew. I still see ads everywhere. I’ve sent emails and left notes with that one random guy who is supposed to be filling in for the helpdesk. And of course, nothing has happened.

How are they letting this great site die? It’s a tragedy.

Sigh.

First world problems, right?

Anyway, i finally bought my first smartphone — a modest Samsung Galaxy Proclaim. The annoying part about getting your first smartphone is that everyone you know immediately starts yelling “OMG DO THIS DO THAT TAKE A VIDEO OF YOUR ASS HOLE AND SEND IT TO MY TWITTER AND DOWNLOAD THE FUCKFACE APP ITS GREAT DO IT NOW.”

No. No. No. I’m importing my contacts, people. First things first.

Although, i did manage to shoot a pointless 30-second video of Luna doing nothing at all and uploading it to Facebook. My god, so easy. I thought it would be harder. Anyone else remember when getting video to the internet required an editing program, file conversions, and codecs?

Not anymore.

I just realized that i have to keep my new phone secret from Dahir. He is still phoneless, and if he saw mine, he’d beg me to spend the entire night at work messing around on that WorldStarHiphopOnline site and watching a million blurry videos involving random street violence and nudity.

No.

I’m losing patience with Dahir. Everyone is. On Saturday nights, he works at White’s Creek, which is a boring post where you’re alone all night. And every week he tries to call out sick because he wants to party with his idiot weed buddies. He’s missed about 4 of the last 6 Saturdays. He tried to play hooky last night, and they told him that if he didn’t show, he’d be fired. So he showed up, i guess.

You can’t do that, man. When people call out on Saturday night, they know what you’re doing. He’s going to get fired. Then Muna and i will be working with some random person. It might suck. And if that random person is some kind of redneck gangsta who hits on her, her aunt might make her quit. That’s unacceptable.

What is WITH these kids these days.

I have to find something interesting to make a video of. I wish i had an interesting life.

Had a similar problem a number of years back, and maybe what turned the trick for me was to send a postal letter. Here’s the address: Bruce Ableson AbleSites, Inc. P.O. Box 121 Basking Ridge, NJ 07920-0121 (Of course, he might have closed his PO Box, but I hope not.) Here’s the full entry I wrote on the subject: http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=C103305&entry=10145&mode=date Hope it helps. WP

effing OD. it’s pretty appalling how they just let it sit and rot. I’ve never seen any website with as many LONG outages as OD. and yet, can we ever leave? nope.

Hahaha. this site really is going down the tubes if you have to send snail mail, in order to resolve an issue! talk about archaic. Yikes! My subscription elapsed a month or so ago and I’ve been waiting Til things aren’t as tight financially to renew. Guess ill be thinking twice about that now! Soon you will not be able to imagine a world without your smartphone. I could not survive without mine.

RYN: From the email receipt that you received from PayPal, if you could paste in a private note in my diary the entire subscription details section and I’ll take care of that for you. Eric

and that’s exactly why i am hesitant to pay any money for a site that has erased my entire diary TWICE.
