Yay, I have successfully backed up my LJ over on DW!! For the time being I'll be staying here on LJ, but will cross-post so as to keep them both up-to-date. Not that I think anything will happen, but what with LJ's servers moving to Russia and a few other things, I just feel better having things backed up. Plus, y'know, I am an archivist so I ( Read more... )

ladyoneill posted her results on this quiz, so I figured I'd take it too. I did the "official" Myers-Briggs Type Inventory as part of a management-training (ugh) thing at work years ago, at which time I was an INTP (3% of population).

So, you know how so much of what we do happens on a little screen, and/or over headphones/microphones, and involves pixels instead of people? Here are two VERY funny takes on what if some of those things happened in real life. My favorite is the first, which only makes me laugh, but I identify more with the second, which makes me laugh AND cry ( Read more... )

I'm a sucker for stationery (pay attention, sekrit santas!) but I'm almost as much a sucker for gorgeously illustrated calendars. For years, my mom's traditional Xmas gift was the Brothers Hildebrandt's Tolkien Calendar, and believe it or not I still have all of them.

Therefore I must plug two awesome calendars. The first is Great Moments in ( Read more... )
