For those of you not paying attention (and I wouldn't be either if I wasn't curious every time I got a new message in my LJ inbox), Livejournal was sold to the Russian company SUP in early December. They have been responsible for some of the subtle changes going on around here. Apparently yesterday they killed the ability to create a basic account ( Read more... )

1. I'm sad that wikipedia doesn't have a page for 'booger'. I mean, it does in the sense that it lists things that it may refer to, but I want to type 'booger' and then be on the page about them. No, 'mucus' is not good enough. I want boogers. And I want it to say what they are made out of and why they are salty. Also: how are they formed ( Read more... )

In an alternate universe, Czar Wars blows.

These guys obviously don't know how it's done.

Man, I knew and loved 'Hello My Future Girlfriend' back in the day. (site mirror is here, but it doesn't seem to have the all important embedded sound file, but just open this is a new tab and it has the same effect.)

But it's 2007 now and you know what that means. He's all grown up and is on myspace now! If I had a profile I'd totally want him to ( Read more... )

I think I'm using this space as some kind of bizarre coping tool and I'm not really digging that. After years of posting every now and then, suddenly in the past six months I've just been broadcasting everything that enters my mind it appears. It's like I've got some serious internet motor mouth. I mean, some of it might be interesting or useful ( Read more... )

I've mentioned before vaguely, but I really do need to have a web presence away from this lj and this screenname in general. I am not going to abandon this outlet of course, but it's just not something I share with other people because there's just too much personal business all over it. Really, I think personal issues are the most interesting ( Read more... )

About a year before I ever had a standardized blog, I had a webpage that was terrible looking.  And for a short period of time I maintained my own manual friends feed, called Pal Update. I think it's genius... because it's all about *other people*. Which makes it essentially gossip, but really, it gives everyone a chance to read about their own ( Read more... )

I wish I could turn off my computer. Obviously physically I can, but not as a practical matter. I have attempted it, but it's just not going to work. I need it for school, I need it for work. Maybe if I had more fortitude I could force myself to only use the most necessary programs, but that's no good either. In attempting to do so I just get this ( Read more... )

I’m sitting out on my front porch in a towel. This is fairly strange for me to do, I must admit. But even my front porch is pretty isolated, so anyone who can see me would probably think I am wearing a strapless dress. But you know what? I like it. It’s warm and there’s only the slightest breeze. Right now, from where I’m sitting here, I think I ( Read more... )
