Friday five and LJ PSA
Name five songs (or whole playlists, if you want to get ambitious) that you associate with particular fictional characters.
Cory Raines or Amanda or maybe both (Highlander): Minor Swing, by Django Reinhardt
Sarah Pezzini (Witchblade): Jig of Life, Kate Bush (I completely blame Astolat for this)
Ezra Standish (Magnificent 7): Shape of My Heart, Sting
Alex Krycek (X-Files): I Don't Care Anymore,Genesis, or Where I Want to Be, from Chess
Methos (Highlander): Murder by Numbers, The Police
Live Journal has created something called the Explore Area. "We've created six relevant areas of interest for you to explore: Culture, Entertainment, Life, Music, News & Politics and Technology. In order to make sure each area has great content, recent public posts are analyzed electronically and then placed into the areas where they best fit (...) The feed of posts is updated constantly, so you can refresh the page to see new entries as they are posted. In some areas, you will also see featured content that the LiveJournal staff found to be timely, interesting, or well-written."
Here's how to opt out:
"If you want all of your public entries to be excluded from the explore areas, you may opt-out by going to Viewing Options and checking the box labeled 'Explore Area Inclusion.' Journal entries posted as private or friends-only are automatically excluded, but this will also exclude your public entries from the explore area."
Short version: If you don't want your public entries randomly posted to the Explore Area, you need to opt out.
And, LJ aside, I'm now wondering what song would fit Connor best, so not a bad night.
