In which the move is postphoned just a little longer. And I buy silly checks.
At the coffee shop this morning, the barrista was playing one of those pieces of music none of us can name but all know because it was in Fantasia and I found myself whistling along. The woman in line behind me said, “Your whistling sounds just like the Disney version!” (I can whistle, yo. I really can.)
Now I want to see Fantasia. I loved that film. I wonder if I’d have to join Netflix to get it, since Bread and I owe the local movie rental place, like, sixty bucks in late fees.
Since DNS is still updating, I won’t be moving goblinbox.com today. Probably tomorrow. (I’ve got everything moved, but LISCO isn’t authoritative yet, so even if I do DNS traffic won’t be pointed to the new server anyway.)
I might swing by the office tomorrow and backup the database one final time — don’t want to lose any comments! — and point traffic to the new server then. Hopefully this move will be smoother than most have been. I’m really hoping Rants 9 will work right off the bat and I won’t lose yet another batch of brilliant posts!
In other news, I totally cheesed out and ordered cartoon checks today. I’ve been carrying those bland safety yellow ones for a couple of years now so I decided to get something colorful. I’m such a corndog.

Do people still use checks? Just kidding. I used to have The Simpsons checks… talk about cheesy!
I barely use them any more, but since I live in BFE I actually have to pay for my land line and propane by check, because those vendors don’t take plastic. It’s an anachronism, I tell you. -m
hey there. just wanted to stop lurking and say Hey! like your blog 🙂 nice to know there are some cool folks down that way
Hey! -m
Nice new cheques… very classy.
Cheers,
Scott
*Hehe*. -m
I was just about to order some Hello Kitty ones myself!! Now that’s it’s just me on my bank account, why not?
Exactly! -m
Very cute cheques. 🙂 Do any of them have Marvin the Martian on them? He was my fave.
Yes. Me too! -m
i. want. those. cheques.
Deluxe.com! -m
Anthony can fuckin’ whistle. Them lips and tongue gots muscles like mad, yo.
In other news, the first bastard boyfriend’s faggy obsession with Disney has ruined any hope of my ever being able to enjoy Bugs Bunny again.
Your ex was a rat bastard, true, but Bugs? Is a WB character, not Disney. -m
checks? you ordered checks? what’s with that? Check-free does all that check stuff for me. I wonder if I can get check-free to send out checks decorated with Sylvester and Tweety?
Check-free? -m
Fantasia was a limited Disney release, is not available on Netflix at this time. I did add it to my queue when it is available for you. I’m downloading it now so that will be faster anyway 😉
Awesome! (Looks like the 1940 version is available from Netflix.) -m
yeah, http://www.checkfree.com. It’s part of my online banking account.
Ah. -m
I’ve never seen Fantasia considering I am not a big fan of that mouse… but I am now intrigued.
I miss “checks” as we don’t use them here. That cartoon one is fantabulous!
Fantasia is amazing. See it. -m
I, too, am an excellent whistler! Must be an Iowa thing!
Naw, I could already whistle when I moved here from Oregon. 😉 -m
Mmm…corndogs…
I have checks with 1920’s flappers on them! And I use them frequently. Just can’t give it up.
Checks are basically the only thing I ever write by hand. My handwriting is atrocious these days! -m
Hiccup.
ooh, I’ve wanted those checks since I was a little kid but my bank never offers them. poop.
You can buy checks anywhere; just need to give them your routing and account numbers! You don’t have to buy them from your bank’s preferred vendor. -m
love the checks (love mine better though).
*smooch*
I can’t wait to get them! -m
