so believe it or not, yesterday actually got worse. after wrestling with the stray dog for an hour or so, and smelling like a big wet nasty dog, i decided to go take a shower. after my shower jeff tells me that the dog's been barking for near 40 minutes in the backyard. so i got dressed and went out there to see what he was barking at, and of all things, it was a fucking opossum that he scared into a tree. having never seen one before i came in here and asked jeff for advice on what to do, he told me to go get the trash can from the garage and try to knock the opossum into it, then let him out in the alley behind the house.. so.. i got a broom, it wasn't long enough, so i broke a stick off a tree and started poking it, and nothing happened. i tried shaking the branch, swatting at the opossum, poking it, jabbing it, stabbing it, and it didn't even move. finally i got so pissed off that i was being beaten by an opossum that i found some nice big rocks in my yard and started throwing them at it. i hit the thing square in the face and it DID NOT MOVE.
finally i got so frustrated i started seriously stabbing it with the stick, and it finally moved.. guess where?
higher up on the next fricking tree over.
so i get one of the leashes for our dogs and i leash the stray, and bring him onto the porch with me, and i call rick9109. while i'm on the phone with him this dog is using me as a jungle gym, climbing on me, chewing on the leash, trying to run around, practically yanking my arm off. i had enough. i came inside and told jeff he needs to come do something because i can't feel my hand and the opossum is still out there. so he comes out, notices how high up the little frigger is, and we finally decide to put the dog in the garage and see if the opossum will go away.
about an hour later it finally came down from the tree but was still in the yard, so we left the dog in the garage all night.
after all of this, you'd think my day can't get any worse, right? wrong. i came in here only to find that CT's host was hacked, and the entire site was obliterated. everything on the server was gone. we lost our website, forums, elysian fields lost their website and forums, our host lost his website, and any other sites he was hosting. all of our index pages said "Server go bye bye." what the hell did we do to deserve this? meh.
-
the dog's owner came by today and picked him up, and gave us beer as a reward for keeping his dog safe all night. and some good news about the site came in the form of mars, who got a mysql dump that makes it so that when we get new hosting, we can restore our forums to the point they were at right before they went down. i'm so glad that after all the.. crap.. that happened yesterday, i get a little "yay" in there somewhere.
