Technical Difficulties III

I haven't really attended to this blog for a couple of days, which also means I haven't been reading others' blogs as well. Imagine my surprise when I logged in a few minutes ago and discovered that I'm not following ANY blogs. None. Where have they all gone? Apparently I'm not the only one this has happened to, but Google don't seem to know anything about it. "AGGGHHH!" as Charlie Brown has said many times.

The sad part of it is, I don't remember all of the URLs for all these blogs. Some of them are fairly distinctive, or otherwise memorable. Reassembling my list will take some time.

While I was typing this, I heard a most blood-curdling scream from outside. It was short and shrill, but repeated itself, over and over. Youtube tells me it is the sound of a fox crying. City girls like me don't know anything about these wild creatures. Close your eyes and listen to this and tell me it doesn't scare you shitless.

EDIT: Now my Reading List is back, as though it never left. Stupid shit indeed.


  1. As you describe! Thankfully they are shy creatures and want to keep out of your way. They would not be there if humans were not so stupid about what and how they threw stuff away.

  2. It would scare the living hell out of me if it was outside at night, and not on Youtube! I've heard Raccoons cry also, and they sound like dying babies or something. *shudders*

  3. It is quite a sound, isn't it. Always takes me back to silent moonlit frosty nights in the British countryside where I grew up.

    I sometimes get the "Where has my blog list gone" thing too.
