What the heck, Yahoo?

I've been having this really weird problem with my Yahoo mail lately, which I've fixed by returning to Yahoo Classic from whatever Beta I was using. For the past week or so, the e-mails I send from my Yahoo mail - typed in English - arrive at their recipients' in Greek letters. They're not translated into Greek, but the text is all Greek. I only noticed this when _melisande_ the other day was like "Er... what's with the Greek?" Seeing as she speaks Greek and all, she thought I did it on purpose, but I had no idea. And apparently it had been happening for a week or so, but I send so few e-mails not through the LJ comment responding feature that nobody had brought it up yet.

We contacted Yahoo help, who were, predictably, no help at all. After escalating the problem, they determined that it was no fault of theirs and that obviously it must be a problem on the recipients' end. Yes, four different servers (Yahoo, Earthlink, caitirin's work, and my work) spontaneously decided to convert the text of my e-mails to Greek letters, and it's not anything to do with Yahoo. Right. It's very weird, because I could copy the Greek text and "paste unformatted text" into a Word document and it would come out in English. Apparently other people have had this problem, and we fixed it by switching my mail back to Yahoo Classic, but I kind of wish I knew why it did that. And I don't hate Classic, but I do prefer the beta or whatever it was, just because I'm more used to it.

Last night we went to see Star Trek again with jadefox_32, and went and had ice cream and appetizers after, and it was just about the most lovely night ever :) I freaking love that movie, and we need more DVDs of the original series, and OMG today we're taking advantage of Barnes & Noble's DVD sale and buying the fourth season of Starsky & Hutch, and all three House of Cards DVDs in a set, and something else that caitirin will pick because The Dresden Files are backordered *sadness*

It being the day before July 4, and July 4 falling on a weekend, we have the day off (WOOT!) and so we're watching daytime television. Well, mostly caitirin is watching daytime television, and I was reading Holmes/Lestrade. *shifty eyes* But anyway, Martha Stewart must really be running out of ideas when her show today is about what she packs in her bag on airplane flights. Don't forget the facial mist, for the love of god!

The Final Cut

So today we bought a whole lot more DVDs than we intended to XD

We were going to get the House of Cards trilogy and the fourth season of Starsky & Hutch (that is, I was going to get them and let caitirin pick out a third DVD/set for free). We couldn't decide what we wanted for our third one, though, and then caitirin saw the Stargate: SG-1 seasons and decided to buy her own three-for-two deal. That left me with a free DVD to choose... I briefly thought of getting the filmed version of Edward II starring Ian McKellen (which I didn't know existed! OMFG Marlowe + McKellen = win, am I right?) or the "best of" original Star Trek episodes, but then I saw the first four DVDs of Horatio Hornblower in a set and they had to be mine ¬_¬ I want to at least see Edward II, on general principle alone even if I didn't think it'd be awesome. So, end result, we have lots of things to watch!

And this afternoon I finished watching The Final Cut, the last part of the House of Cards trilogy :D

( Spoilers, as usual )

I don't have any House of Cards icons yet! I guess this will have to do n_n
