Hmmph.

Well, it's now 10 a.m., and still the tireless workers of the fabulously reliable Blogger have yet to exorcise the problems with their server and restore publishing to all of us miserly Non-BloggerPro Users.

In addition to their new site update, how about a new motto--"It's Free--And It Shows!"

Continued disturbances like this are just killing the Possumblog Merchandising Plan--not being able to continually update is driving millions of customers away. Well, not really. But what about all the loyal readers out there, who think that I am merely being lazy and not updating, when in fact I continue to madly peck away in the normal stupid fashion? WHAT ABOUT THEM!!!? Will they decide that, "Hey, you know, there is actually a lot of stuff I would rather read than crap about some old guy's car repair problems or what kind of soup he spilled on his tie." If this persists, Possumblog readership will take a nosedive, and I'll just be sitting here typing for no reason at all! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT, BLOGGER MINIONS?! I think not.

What to do then? In such instances, a LIST OF DEMANDS is always in good taste:

First of all, I want a refund of all the money I've spent on Blogger. Second, I want a personal interview with Jodi Applegate. Third, FIX THE STUPID SOFTWARE! Fourth, I want my own television show which will be called PossumblogLIVE! and will be just like reading my blog, except with pictures and a genial sidekick. And a band. And supermodels. And a live studio audience. Fifth, FIND MY ARCHIVED POSTS! Sixth, I want a nice fence for the backyard so my kids will quit bugging me about getting a dog. Seventh, I'm not quite sure about, but probably has to do with food or something. Eighth, I would like a framed, life-size oil portrait of Norah O'Donnell clad only in white ermine, which will hang in its own special place in the aforementioned TV studio set. Ninth, Rosie O'Donnell will change her name to anything other than "O'Donnell," preferably to something more appropriate like "Blahblahblahblah." Tenth, QUIT SCREWING AROUND AND FIX THE SOFTWARE.

That's it--that's all I'm asking for--is THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!?
