So much has happened in my life that I kind of gave up on LJ for awhile. But I'm back, mainly because I've become a huge Naruto fan and I like to read the fan fiction that gets posted here, some of which is naughty and friends-only. I've become quite prolific in my comments, so I thought it a good idea to drop in an update so it doesn't seem like ( Read more... )

I just had a most unpleasant visit at the dentist today.  It all started about a month ago when I was munching on a bag of Doritos® and bit down on a stone that apparently had made its way into the bag.  The stone took out about a quarter of a tooth in my upper jaw.  Well, as strange as it may seem, I actually procrastinated for about a month ( Read more... )

OMG! OMG! OMG! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I just got word that our atrocious attorney general, John Ashcroft, has resigned.  Apart from being the most egregious violator of the Bill of Rights, his religious zealotry was second to none.  Also, his singing could drive a sane man crazy.  I don't think I've been this happy in a long ( Read more... )

It looks like my friend, riverbend, has had an opportunity to update her blog.  Given her current situation as well as the situation in Iraq in general, updates are touch and go.  I'm often amazed at her sheer determination, considering the conditions she must live in.  As usual, her descriptions of the scene in Baghdad are vivid yet somber at the ( Read more... )

I'm giving the LJ client, Semagic, a test drive.  I seems to be fairly decent, although it would be nice if it provided previews of the mood icons.  The spell check is a definite plus.

In other news, it would appear that the Russians have ratified the Kyoto Protocol.  Of course you wouldn't know this unless you got your news from international ( Read more... )

I'm getting pretty tired of various LiveJournal errors. I think the thing that annoys me the most is the rich text mode editor. It would be useful, except the damn thing is totally buggy. First off, the preview function does not work at all. Second, it screws up when I try to add LJ user links, causing all sorts of formatting woes. Thirdly, it ( Read more... )

When things can't possibly get any worse, they usually do. So I'm down at the Post Office to send ginmar a care package which includes, amoungst other things, a copious supply of Fluff. I'm kinda worried because I'm also gonna try to send some hershey bars as well. I hope they don't melt too badly, but who knows what kind of temperature this package ( Read more... )

The other day was such a let down.  Now let me tell you, I'm on enough anti-depressants that even Marilyn Manson would feel perky, right?  Wrong!  That concession speech hit me like a 500-ton brick wall.  I mean I could tolerate Bush if he could fucking speak English correctly, but it's like listening to nails against a chalkboard when I listen to ( Read more... )

Well not much to say, other then FIRST POST! (people who read /. will get this).
