I let my paid account expire. Now it seems like a silly thing to have paid for, but I guess my had my reasons. I even renewed it last year, in what I can only guess was sincere hope that my joblessness would be brief. Hah ( Read more... )

There is certainly a lot of healthy competition in our backyard these days! I am doing my best to keep up with our frequent guests, but it's HARD. I wish for a pair of binoculars almost every day! I think I'm going to start a life list here in my lj, to help keep tabs on who I've identified ( Read more... )

Since when does LJ email not only original comments, but also edited ones?! Granted, I don't get many comments, but I don't remember that ever happening before. Maybe I don't have enough friends who edit as much as I do :) Anyway, I think it's cool.

I just wanted to say that this new icon fills me with *glee* every time I see it.

I was rooting around in my journal settings, and discovered that I have apparently banned someone from commenting in my journal. Odd. Only one person I can ever remember having possibly wanted to ban, but this isn't him. I have no idea who this banned person is, and can't imagine what she could have done to me to warrant it ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to post my subject lines of 2007 in one big random paragraph, like I did for 2006. This is probably only of interest to me, but here goes!

*thumpthump* Is This Thing On? Extra! Extra! Morning. Poked and Prodded. Tender Vittles. Day 5. More Cooking! "Kittens having Kittens"....on the next Maury! oh no she didn't. A real update. ( Read more... )

I got two lj comments today and Yahoo! put one of them in the "Bulk" folder. What's that about? Why suddenly decide that they are spam? I've only been receiving lj comments to my various Yahoo! accounts for...let's see...6.5 years now! I've never told Yahoo! that they are spam. I'm sure most of you think they ARE spam, and so don't even get ( Read more... )

I never put much stock in the "tags" feature of livejournal. Couldn't see what good it would do me, as when I get in the mood to reminisce, I generally go whole-hog and read my entire livejournal. Also never would have cared enough to think, hmm...so-and-so tagged this entry 'shoes'...I wonder what else they've tagged 'shoes'... or whatever ( Read more... )

After many months of silence, people have suddenly started posting again in evilcustomers. I guess it's pre-holiday-season jitters or something. I originally joined it years ago in response to boredom and frustration with the ol' gig at Sears. It was cathartic and somewhat nice to know that there were others out there also slaving away at a job and being ( Read more... )

As you may have noticed, I've recently fortified my stock of user icons. OK, so a lot of them are Harry Potter related. What can I say, my lj's been deprived all these years :D

I added this one today. It combines two obsessions: Harry Potter and Mystery Science Theater 3000. I laugh just thinking about it!!!
