Follow me. Don't follow me.

This morning (which is pleasantly hazy and does not make me fear the sky) I'm hoping that everyone's received Sirenia Digest #4 and are happy with its contents. Last night, as I was looking over my printout of the PDF, I discovered a very annoying typo, right there on the cover page. Never mind that three people proofed the frelling thing. Though ( Read more... )

i saw brokeback mountain. it was pretty good. i had no desire to see it either, but my friend was going. crash - i hated just about ever character in it. the locksmith and his family were the only ones that i liked, they were also the only reasonable characters in the film. i don't mean to say that they others had unreasonable reaction/thoughts, but they didn't think for one femtosecond before acting or how what they were doing would look from someone else's perspective.

pittsburgh had it's st. patrick's day parade last weekend. we have it every year the weekend before the actual day. i have no idea why. i didn't see the parade, but went to station square in the afternoon. it was fine when i first got there, but then it got way too crowded with drunk people and then it started to drizzle and get chilly. i've determined that i pretty much don't like people in general. one-on-one they seem to be better and some of them intelligent, but on a whole or in a group i can't stand them.

I passionately loved Good Night, and Good Luck. David Strathairn especially deserved his Best Actor nomination, and although this is the first year I've cared about the Oscars in any way, shape, or form, I find myself still moderately annoyed that he didn't win. He didn't impersonate; he was. People who can do that amaze me. And besides, I loved the music and its use in the film.

I finally realised how it should end yesterday, and it's a very soft-spoken ending. I'm curious how readers will respond to it.

I suspect it will be very well-received. Have you in fact had negative feedback on any of the vignettes?

He didn't impersonate; he was.

That's almost exactly what I said to Spooky during the film.

And besides, I loved the music and its use in the film.

Yep.

No, actually. I've expected it, but it hasn't come.

This must prove something. : )

(By the way, I love the icon.)

maybe i'm just way behind the times here but i just found fsm the game. you've probably already played it and mentioned it months ago, but here you go anyway.

No, I haven't, actually. Drad! Thanks!

I am so unimpressed with MySpace. I have devoted very little effort to it because it is so user-unfriendly. Same with Yah
oo's 360. I can do everything with LJ I want, and have the advantage of no hideous ads.

Jerry Lewis turns 80 today.

And he's still annoying.

I am basically in agreement. I wouldn't be there if I weren't such a whore, and such a goddamn fill-in-the-blank fetishist.

I gave up using LJ... wishlish March 16 2006, 20:38:03 UTC

...and am in the process of building a blog using WordPress software and a paid host. (www.whyilovecomics.com- it's not yet finished, but it's getting there...) One of the nice things about the WordPress software is that you can make up your own tags, so if you want a Science tag, you've got it. You want a FSM tag or a Farscape tag or something else, you've got it.

The host I use, Laughing Squid, was really helpful in setting up the software, and the software's not difficult to customize. And RSS feeds are built-in. The software's free, both as in free speech and free beer. Nice stuff, really.

Did you see the article on Yahoo about the first split-second of the universe? I was raised on Genesis, but even the hardest core X-tians have to admit a split-second explosion that went galactic and took 200 million years to cool just to get stars is pretty neat.

I have Good Night and Good Luck to watch tonight, and I'm looking forward to it. Did you read George Clooney's entry on the Huffington Post (www.huffingtonpost.com)? He's my hero. He deliberately made this movie with current events in mind. And he's proud to be a liberal. I <3 him!

No, but I shall.
