So I spent pretty much the entire weekend on this WIP scene from a podcast drama I'm toying with the idea of.
I probably shouldn't have started with a loud action scene but it was one I could easily use text-to-speech for and avoid either voice acting or soliciting for voice actors.
Needs a lot of work, notably, another character to respond to the stuff going on and freak out about it. This just doesn't feel like two days worth of work. At all. Meh.
My family has decided that now is an awesome time for me to buy a house. >_>;
They have a say in this?
They have no real power, but they have opinions they intend to voice and annoy me to no end.
Block phone numbers.
I have actually had to go as far as threatening to do that to get my mother to back off. It was preceded by a pattern of hanging up and/or cutting off her conversations, to indicate that her line of questioning was unwelcome (and of course, that was always preceded by "Mom, that's none of your business" or "I don't want to talk to you about this.").
Sometimes, you just have to be aggressive about it. Set boundaries and enforce them. Be prepared to make a parent cry in your defense of that boundary.

Yep. This. Have done before, would do again. Had to do this with my mom over her giving me tons and tons of random crap as gifts. We are talking boxes full of mailed free samples, stuffed animals, and trinkets from the thrift store. She took it very personally but got over it eventually.
That was a fairly common occurrence when I was living in a house with Time Warner Cable. (The only people with a similar approval rate/customer retention rate to Congress!)

Not sure if very well written troll.

Can't play any multiplayer games, can't stream any media.
Oddly enough, I can't find anything about a general internet outage on twitter.
Could it possibly be server side problems?
I ran 2 different malware and anti virus programs to double check my machine is clean but it is occurring on my phone and HTPC simultaneously.
