The wrecking ball has landed

Posted By Cassandra Disque on May 8, 2009

Thanks to Ray in Perth, my WordPress woes are over. Turns out the category access plugins I’ve been attempting to use over the past few years don’t work so well on this server, which is why only the Hemingway themes were working. Matt had me convinced I had a massive database issue at hand; why I was listening to him, I don’t know; he’s a Luddite.

Now that everything is truly in working order for the first time in years (at least on here!), it’s full speed ahead. I’m really jazzed to have this live again, as well as a new skin on thecounterculture.org. I picked up one new hostee last week and it looks like I’ll have another coming in soon, all of which makes my computers excessively happy. If only it could always be like this, eh?

Oh, and Ray — just for you, I’m working on updating my old bio. Will be putting it live later tonight, if I don’t fall asleep first.

About the author

Cassandra Disque

Extemporaneous flibbertigibbet with bone lumps growing out of my coccyx. I was born in 1981. I was another case of "too much, too young," or at least I wanted to be. Now I'm leaning toward "too little, too late," as my body conks out on me, and I find I haven't done hardly any of the things I wanted. This is supposed to happen to people twice my age, so you might find my perspective on life to be a little unusual -- as in, I find just about everything to be hysterically funny, because there's little use in worrying when it's all going to go kaput.

"The Drag of Gimp"

Since 1996, my life has been a long journey of visiting one doctor after another. I look more or less fine, but I'm not. My daily pill count is like playing the dozens with a hospice patient. One doctor will say I'm doomed, and send me to another for treatment, but the treating doctor will find nothing within his or her area of practice that can be treated.

My life is better than a comedy, better than a drama. Anyone who has done this knows what I mean when I say that you have to not only know the rules, but also play the part in order to be allowed in the game. Most people find what we go through in the medical merry-go-round to be unbelievable, which is why I call it "The Drag of Gimp."
