Grid Effect

Well, uh, gee whiz guys, I’m not entirely sure where to begin. We’ve been on an involuntarily hiatus for the past…nine days? If you attempted to visit the page, you probably received a “high load, come back later” message, or something to that effect. That’s not to say we were reveling in an abnormally large number of page views, perish the thought. No, our issues were technical and supposedly self-imposed. It wasn’t for nothing though, our servers can now handle more readers, or something. Whatever, the upgrade could make your computer do somersaults for all I know, I’m really not the person you want explaining this to you.

I apologize for any inconvenience, we understand that there are anywhere from 3 to 7 people (wishful thinking) who rely on this site as some sort of diversion from work on a daily or semi-daily basis. This is, of course, an absurd way to spend your time. But I appreciate your readership regardless, and am humbled that you would invite me into your office, however briefly. With that said, we promise, to never quit you again.

In the meantime, there was plenty we missed along the way, especially on the newsfront, but also recaps of two Weeds episodes, two Rescue Me mini-episodes annnddd…well, I think that’s the extent of it actually. Man, time really grinds to a halt when there’s nothing to distract you from its minutia. Seriously, it feels like the last time I posted on this site I was just learning how to fly, and here I am, spanning the globe with nothing more than a yellow and orange metallic body suit, righting my wrongs and avenging the deaths of the innocent, whose tragic deaths I now feel my prior moral flexibilities are at least partially responsible for. Yes, the site has been down too long, why do you ask?

But anyways, enough about my hobbies. I’ll be posting multiple times per day starting Thursday, and probably through next week. Again, we wholeheartedly apologize here at Grid Effect and will do everything to ensure this will never happen again. This is kind of a meaningless promise, given that we’re about as helpless as a fish in quicksand when it comes to IT, and most other facets of living.

Back tomorrow with a Weeds, episode 2 & 3 season four review.

We hate the phrasing of this post’s title, but the Oscars are the lone annual event that allows us to write about movies on a television blog, so we’ll be “live blogging” them tonight. Comments will appear roughly every commercial break. And no, we’re not blogging any red carpet nonsense. It’s bad enough we’re actually available to do this, it would usher us into a whole new stratosphere of monotony to blather on about how pregnant actresses look in evening gowns. Besides, that already consumes enough of our free time.

So join us tonight, as we disparage anything and everything under the sun for virtually no reason at all.
