THESE ARE THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS!
Ask?
I realize my little cloud thing makes me look as boring as a bag of cotton balls, but I’ll answer anything. Sometimes with bad rhymes. Otherwise it’s just me and my .php files ringing in the New Year with a Psych marathon and this giant doob.

Kiss My Squishy Ass, 2010
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
To all our Tumblr friends, whose delightful wit and wisdom made a crazy idea I had after my mom’s funeral into something real, and something she’d be proud of, I wish you the following for 2011:
A chance to belly laugh every single day.
All the love you can handle.
Good health and enough of everything you need to care for yourself and...

I’m right behind you.
So worth it.
How long before the thread gets demoted and moved, and all stars removed?
You…
Whoever she is, I want to give her a job.
Not even a Gif?

I love this thread more than probably almost anything. Also, best use of the Oprah “you real mad?” gifs that I have ever seen.
And for reals, a whole library of gifs to choose from and not a one to fit the situation? Dawson crying, mayhaps?
This is making not smoking...
I have nothing but respect for J-Co and the Jezebel all-stars, for the most part. It’s harder than it looks to coordinate a massive amount of content.
But since I’m drunk…
Could Jessica Coen move Jezebel from one server to another? No she could not. She may have celebrity friends and an actual exciting life outside her home and bajillions of page views, but I bet you five...

The domain still isn’t resolving for me, I’m getting a ‘cannot find server’ message :’( It might be taking its time for people outside of the US maybe?
Or it could be that I misspelled the domain name in my last post, b/c I already had a beer or three. Let’s try again! http://persephonemagazine.com
Thanks for testing!

We’re so back, and finally, for real this time, loading with great speed.
I am getting drunk, I don’t care if it’s almost 3 in the morning.

Who Has Two Thumbs
And can make databases her bitch? Ophelia Payne, that’s who. The front page is working at the new site, all the old posts, images, members and comments exist, the blog just can’t find them outside of the front page. I will not be thwarted, this thing will work.
Argh
Ophelia in tech support ticket: The settings seem to be off, I don’t have administrative access to the MySQL. When I try to create a new database, it gives me error BLAH which says I don’t have permission to create a new database, which I know I should be able to do.
Tech Support (3 hours later): You need to create a new database.
Ophelia (3 minutes later): I can’t, it says...
When Technology Gives You the Finger
So there I am, trying to make the new server and the old server do my bidding, and then it goes thusly: Ophelia:

Moving on Up
To yet another server, so Perseph will be offline until I get all the pictures back on the walls and fresh towels in all the bathrooms. Cross your fingers! I really mean that, server moves go right about 5% of the time.
This means any perseph emails aren’t going to work for a minute, either.
I’m doing a shot and digging in.
xfafafabulous asked: Can I have a haiku about how amazing I am?
Or one about your favorite cheese. Whichever.

Ask A Ladyeditor
I’m already restless on Tuesday of my vacation, and I wasn’t going to write anything and here I am scribbling all over Tumblr.
Ask me stuff! My brain is full of trivia and non-sequitur, and I can answer in Haiku or limerick.

paolaandfrancesca replied to your post: Did you notice both stories in succession contain the “too something to be something other” gimmick? That right there is why sites have Editors in Chief…
I so wish we could make that happen. 14kgoldnyc for Jezebel EIC!
WOOT!! [blushes] As long…
It’s a shame there’s not an alternative ladyblog where all of this could happen...
Oh, Jenny Craig.
I’m all for doing whatever you feel is right for your body. Diet, don’t diet, your body is your business. However, an ad from Jenny Craig just gave me heart palpitations.
They have armbands that monitor your calories in and your calories burned that report right to your Jenny Craig consultant. Jenny Craig, literally watching what you eat.

Perseph readers, I gave the team a much earned week off, we’ll be back on Monday with our regular, full schedule. Everyone has been working like Santa’s elves and they’ve earned a week to do whatever they want. We’ve got 650+ articles in the archives, you should go read a few you missed while you wait for new content.
We will be completely offline for a few hours on...

14kgoldnyc replied to your post: Smithmas was Everything I Hoped It Would Be
But he’s adorable, who wouldn’t want to bone him??
He looks a bit like what I think one of my former students will look like when he’s all grown up. It totally prohibits me from thinking about sexytimes with Smith in anything but the broadest terms.
14kgoldnyc asked: Your favorite qualities in a person (the original distinguishes between men and women--feel free to do that, interpret on a non-binary, etc.)
Smithmas was Everything I Hoped It Would Be
I loved especially the line about choosing to kiss the girl instead of sitting in your room inventing a new kind of screwdriver. I do think it’s fun that Eleven has no game with the ladies, I predict both Nine and Ten didn’t have those problems.
I watched Smith on Graham Norton after, and I wanted to slip the poor man a flask, he looked so nervous. Adorably nervous.
My crush on...
If Not for New Who
I would happily sleep until December 26th.

Seeking Thankless Intern
To do grunt work for no pay. I know! That’s almost too good to be true, so let me expand.
We need someone to do the following intern-ish tasks:
Go through our server full of images and add proper titles, alt text and descriptions for all of them.
Review the tags for all archived posts to make sure they contain good search engine friendly tags in addition to our smart ass tags.

Persephone True FAQs
I read a question on STFUJ about whether or not she and I were the same person. We’re not, STFUJ does write for us, but I’m not the person who puts out that Tumblr. She is among the first people I recruited when we started building Persephone in September. She posted something about wanting to start a side project for personal essays off of STFUJ, and (she doesn’t even know...

Random Thinks
1. We should have smack talked Jez a month ago, I’m looking at my monitor like that scene in the West Wing (final season “The Cold”, obsessed? me? never.) when Donna and the Santos Pussycats are looking at the returns after the power plant melted down. But with side-eye, so I bet it may be even more funny.

On Pants
I prefer them in a whimsically printed pajama. Today it’s pink owls. Watch, they’re going to be all over the glossies come spring. All the comfort of leggings AND the shapelessness of sweats, all in one pull on package. With owls.
