Writer's Block: Commercial Appeal

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I couldn’t think of any commercials I actually loved. So I finally came up with something that might work. The WGN Action Pack intro theme--even if that was when I was in the beginning of high school. This was shown before some of the action shows (most of which I watched) started on WGN. Queen of Swords, Jack of All Trades, Xena, Hercules, Cleopatra 2525, Sinbad, and whatever movie was on that week. The only movie I really remember from that was The Adventures of Captain Zoom in Outer Space back in 1994.

In other news, I suspect that Yahoo hasn’t sent all of my e-mail in the last two or three days. So if I haven’t replied to something RPG related that was e-mailed to me in the last two or three days, please send it again. Yahoo is just being strange and not letting things through at times--or just letting every other thing trickle through, which is how I know something must be missing. I have to assume that, going by the fact that about 20 fanfic update notifications from Teaspoon and an Open Mind just popped up in my inbox, that were from 3 days ago.

ETA: Okay, wow. A whole lot of stuff from the last couple days just showed up. A whole lot of Fanfiction.net notifications, along with LJ comment notifications just arrived. So I guess Yahoo is gradually fixing things. Somehow.

Yahoo's Main Page

Okay, something weird is going on. On Dad's laptop, the Yahoo main page looks as it always did.

On this computer, I can see that they apparently changed the layout completely, and now its address is m.yahoo.com. Anyone else getting that? It's starting to look like either this computer is possessed or Dad's laptop is trapped in the past.

We just don't know.

Edit: Solved, thanks to [profile] quiet__tiger. Thank you!
