The Internets, They Hate Me

... or at least my home connection does, as it decided that it didn't want to keep me connected for more than 30 seconds at a time right in the middle of Romeo's birthday party. I fought with it for 45 minutes and then gave up and decided to just go to bed early for once.

Apologies for the resulting promiscuous thread droppage; I'll try to pick everything up this morning.
