Day 49 – password woes

/ Brienna / Leave a comment

So, after getting hacked yesterday, I got set-up with LastPass and started changing passwords.

Did you know if you go to https://passwords.google.com/checkup/ Google will give you the status of all the passwords you have saved in the browser? Let me tell you — it ain’t pretty.

I’ve updated the password on all the accounts marked “compromised”. For some of these, the websites didn’t exist anymore, or are things I do not use. Where I could, I deleted my account. Everything now has a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious strong password, no repeats! Wooooooo hoooooo.

And I even made progress on the puzzle today too. Maybe 5 pieces? Not much, but at the rate I’ve been going, I’ll be happy if I finish it this year.

And now, I’m off to finish S3 of Ozark. I got a little distracted on Friday watching “Never Have I Ever” on Netflix. I thought it was a movie — turns out it’s a series, with 10 ~25 minute episodes. And yes, I did watch it like it was movie, start to finish in one sitting (with some intermissions for food and bathroom). Mindy Kaling does not disappoint, except for the fact that she is no where to be seen in the series (at least in S1).

Day 48 – hacked??!

My Hulu account was hacked! I got an email this evening saying I had a new login to my account… but I haven’t used Hulu today, and certainly not on a new device, and definitely NOT from Stoney Creek, Ontario, CA.

Stupid SHIT HEADS. GET YOUR OWN HULU ACCOUNT! Also — I thought Hulu was USA only?

Looks like I have a project tomorrow to change all my passwords and look into a more secure solution so I’m not using the same password on any two sites. I’ve gotten lazy over the years.

Ugh. Something I know I should be doing, but not how I wanted to spend my weekend. In the meantime, Hulu has been logged out of all devices and secured temporarily with a new password.

Day 47 – Friday 5

The questions are a little random this week…. until you realize what movie they’re from.

  1. So — so on Monday, what happens? Hopefully I won’t hear anyone say “Sounds like somebody has case of the Mondays.” In theory, it will be just another Manic Monday
  2. What was that ruckus? It was Indy, he’s always barking!
  3. What do you know about trigonometry? a2 + b2 = c2
  4. Vodka? When do you drink vodka? “Whenever” … I drink vodka when I’m having a Moscow Mule! Great cocktail, although usually you’ll find me drinking Gin, Tequila or Wine.
  5. How’d you like to go fishing this weekend? Uhh, no. I’m vegetarian, generally prefer not killing animals (including fish) for sport, and even if you’re “throwing them back” you are still hurting them.

Brought to you by Friday 5.

PS. It’s The Breakfast Club.

Day 46 – quarantine takeout

If you’ve ever eaten at a restaurant with me, you may have noticed that I have a weird inability to order just one thing. I’m always ordering appetizers or sides or multiple main dishes. I like to sample!

It’s weird because when I cook at home, it’s almost always one thing. A quesadilla, a stir fry w/ rice (that hardly counts as a second dish), pizza…

So, now that we have this lockdown, I feel compelled to over order even more than usual. Like since I’m taking this risk and tipping well I should maximize what I’m getting.

Last weekend I ordered two dishes from the Thai place. About what I would normally order. Tonight I somehow ended up with 5 dishes and two sides.

At first, I was just going to get Indo-Chinese fried rice and Gobi Manchurian. But then I realized they had South Indian selections. Finally, after deciding I was ordering too much, I discarded the samosas and the dosa. And yet… 5 dishes and two sides!

The good news it is all delicious and I won’t have to worry about cooking for at least 2 more days. That’s good because it’s hard to cook and whatnot with my hand.

Anyone else find themselves unable to order just one thing? Why is it so hard to choose?
