So, it's not like I've waited the entire season for this episode or anything, right? Because hey, it's only Senior's return, after all, right?

And yet you decide I shouldn't get to see the damn ep.

1) Global doesn't air it on Monday, as is tradition this season. Okay, I can live with that. It means I won't be able to snag it off the internet Tuesday morning and indulge myself (and get half a dozen tags written before it airs on CBS), but hey, that's cool.

2) There's only one--in other words: ONE!--working live stream and its quality is TOTAL CRAP. So I'm sitting here, Tuesday night my time, watching a CBS feed that barely allows me to see what the hell is happening, not to mention understand what anyone is saying! I'd give up if it were any other ep, but it's Senior, and I'm amped, and so I'm trying my best to figure out what the funny looking pixels are doing and saying.

3) And then, dear tech gods, you decide that this isn't enough. Nooo, you decide to really screw with me. Because, in all your wisdom, you decide to completely cut me off my NCIS fix just as the last act starts. My internet connection completely craps out for good, with about eight minutes to go. Thank you ever so frakkin' much. Because no matter what I do to my modem, it stays dead.

4) And so here I am, less than four hours later, after almost no sleep but unable to go back to bed because the cats demand attention. At least the modem's working again, so I'm online, and I'm downloading about to watch the episode in all its technicolor glory, and I'll finally be able to watch the last scene which I know is beyond awesome because I already saw a bit of it in the promo trailer.

But I'm beyond tired and I'm cranky, and I repeat: WTF, tech gods? What? The? Effing? Fuck?!

The new Firefox update features "personas" - basically, you can choose your own theme/style/skin/banner/whatever you wanna call it for your browser.

THERE IS AN NCIS PERSONA ON OFFER!!! *squees*

Unfortunately, it's got Ziva between Gibbs and Tony *boohiss* but...NCIS!!! W00T!

I won't use it at work, for obvious reasons, but at home...hmm... :-)

Of course, you can make your own personas, so I shall have to explore this a bit more thoroughly over the weekend and come up with a loverly slashy Gibbs/Tony thingie... *shifty*
