Breaking news!

So. Michael Phelps is going to be hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live tomorrow night. You might've heard somebody talking about it somewhere. But what I have just found out is that he's not alone. OH NO.

BARACK OBAMA IS HIS GUEST HOST!

Hi. I can't stand SNL. I have never found it amusing or entertaining. Frankly, I think it's all completely overrated. But I am ON this tomorrow night. If I weren't afraid of alcohol poisoning I might even make it a drinking game. One shot everytime Michael totally screws up and another shot when Barack does something awesome, like breathing*.

On a non-partisan note: US residents, please find out when your voter registration deadline is and go sign up to vote. Please. PLEASE?! 30% of the eligible US population votes in an given election, that means your ass is important, so, go be important. If you don't vote, you can't complain later. I'm for real here.


*I should state here that I kind of expect Michael to massively tank, but I told serialkarma that if I was wrong and he killed it, I would write him a sex-filled apology. I'm putting that down, let's see if he picks it up.

Sekrit aside to defamer_atom two days late: I LOVE YOU TOO! Keep posting the shout outs up the good work!

ETA: DEAR FLIST: This new Firefox upgrade is killing me. The dropdown bar for addresses is now just my bookmarks and I don't want that! How can I be switching it back so it gives previously visited sites, b/c I have trawled all over that toolbar and I can't find it anywhere. PLZ TO HALP?

Oh dear god. I really think I'm going to need for you to check in with me when it's over so I know that you're still alive.

I turn into a pumpkin at midnight, but I'll definitely be taping!

"I'm Michael Phelps; this is Saturday Night Live, and Shit! You're Lil'
Wayne!"

I WOULD PAY MONEY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE.

Hosting the show’s 34th season opener has made Phelps the envy of his friends. Swimming rival Ryan Lochte may be particularly jealous since the show’s musical guest is Lil’ Wayne, Lochte’s favorite rapper and someone Phelps likes, too.

Lochte said earlier this week that he plans to call Phelps and “make fun of him. I have to.”

He said he heard that someone would be playing him on the show.

“I don’t know if that’s going to go good or bad,” Lochte said.

Omggg I am so happy for that. I don't have cable and this weekend since I'm going to AZ to visit my boyfriend son we will be staying in a hotel with cable! Joy! I'm so voting this year and I have been trying to get others too. Its my first time and I can wait to register. I can't now because I need to switch my license over to CA which I am doing Tuesday. *dances* Obama has really got me to start caring about the US more, I'm bursting at the seems to vote for him this November.

Oh hells yes. I am so there.

Michael Phelps AND Barack Obama AND possibly Tina Fey has left me in a massively twitchy state of delight.

I think Ryan Lochte said he hoped Andy Samberg was playing him. Which-- damn, I can actually totally see.

I could not fix Firefox and in defence I switched to Google Chrome which is pretty much awesome compared to the Firefox upgrade so far, but it's only been a couple of days.

Address bar solution...somewhat

[silver-ingrid.livejournal.com]

This extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6227 returns the address bar to more or less the old version. It isn't perfect, but it is a hell of a lot better than the (not)"awesome" bar. Hopefully that helps.

Firefox 2 downloads here (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html). I would recommend that you delete v3.0 before you re-install 2.0.0.16, or you're going to have problems. It should restore all of your previous FF2 add ons and settings. At least it did for me.
