Today is my birthday. Woot. I celebrated by giving myself a four-day weekend. I spent most of the time sick in bed, though, so happy birthday to me. We went out for Indian and Mexican, and got Asian take-away. We also discovered that the Asian place now delivers. That is going to come in handy. The Raiders gave me a victory over the Broncos. They love me. I won a bet with my boss over that one. My darling wife bought for me an electric griddle. Now I can make grilled cheese for her.
As an aside, this flagging system LJ made is not a freedom of speech issue. LJ is not the government. LJ is not bound by the Bill of Rights with respects to its subscribers. If LJ wants to force everyone to post in English and disallow the use of the letter "k," they can freely do so. It would suck and they would lose most of their subscribers, but they can do it if they want. I personally think the flagging system is going to suck and that LJ is making another mistake. You can protest, write letters, flee to deadjournal, or whatever, but stop crying "free speech," because it doesn't apply here.
And it's not supposed to be 70°F the day before my birthday. Send birthday pictures to make it better.
Love,
Billy
