No, it’s not the summer solstice. It’s just that I took last Thursday and Friday off, and here I am back at work after five days off so this day should prove to be excruciatingly long. And even though it’s a Tuesday that feels like a Monday and a four-day week, I guarantee this week will be torturous. I caught a frog in the pool this morning. Thought I was doing him a favor by keeping him from drowning, but when I chucked him over the fence and into the yard. he landed on his back and wasn’t moving. I don’t know if he landed on his head or broke his neck (do frogs have necks?) or what. Then there was a huge dead snake in the driveway (had to be at least 5 or 6 feet long) when I pulled out this morning. I don’t know if these are omens or not but if you’re a reptile or an amphibian, you might wanna steer clear of my place.

According to the BBC, “[h]undreds of millions of hacked account details from social networks MySpace and Tumblr have been advertised for sale online. In both cases, the logins appear to have been stolen several years ago but only recently came to light”. So, if you used to have a MySpace page (and, who didn’t, am I right?), you might want to see if you can remember what your password was. I know that way back in the olden days, I tended to use more or less two passwords – one for sites I didn’t really give a crap about, and another one for more important things. Of course, I quit doing that a long time ago and started using a password manager that creates unique (and impossible to remember) passwords for me and I use two-factor authentication on everything that will let me (even though it’s a bit of a pain in the ass at times).

The issue isn’t so much that somebody might hijack your MySpace page (until this morning, I wasn’t actually sure I even still had one – turns out I do!), but that you might have used the same password for other things (and the username is an e-mail address, so that might follow you around).

Turns out I even have Tumblr login, though I don’t think I’ve ever actually done anything with it.

In other news….

Donald Trump? Really? Are we really gonna have to put up with a Trump presidency? As little faith and respect I have for We the People, I still can’t believe that this mook is being taken seriously and for crissakes really appears to be on the verge of winning. I honestly don’t know what to make of this. I mean, this meat head makes Dubya look like a statesman.

I might have to start drinkin’ the hard stuff.
