TDG CEM Day 7

In Rhode Island, the meteorologists employ a twenty-sided die. They roll it each morning, once for each of the ten days to come. On each side is printed something like, "Rain" or "Snow" or "Partly Cloudy." Or "Godzilla." And then they tell us what the die said. Ergo, they are almost always wrong. Today is a good example.

What fresh hell indeed. I closed facebook. I've been using Tweet Deck more to promote what I need and will keep up with friends via that. But, FB is closed on my desktop.

Besides, LJ just feels like home.

Good energies again to get through the last of it.

I forget the name, but someone recently published a novel completely written in IM syntax.

It's made, like, a billion dollars.

Alas, there is not log. It was an IM thingy of some sort, and when I hit X, bless'dly, it went bye-bye.

Facebook is irredeemably fucking shonky, as I almost said earlier.

I'd never IM you - it's piss-poor bad taste. Plus, I love the language too much (my affair with alliteration and semi-colons aside) to cripple it with motherfucking textspeak. (Forgive my bile,I know you don't give a shit about swearing. Just been told how to write by two vanity-press fuckwits.)

A shame about REM. Didn't hear enough to class them as a favourite band, but the world's poorer for their splitting.

Well, it was their decision to make, and when an artist/s decides it's time to stop, usually he, she, or they are right.
