The lala signup screen has been hung up for about 5 minutes now (after submitting registration)... was it that way for anyone else?

EDIT: wound up cancelling the browser window using Task Manager after about 10 minutes of hourglass. Opened a new one and it appeared my account had been created-- but now I'm hourglassing on the login.

EDIT 2: had to shut THAT down and now I can't even open the home page. I get the feeling lala servers are not ready for prime time.
