Farewell, it's been so long.
So, I've been thinking about this for a while. I was going to hold off on officially making the move until Buzz was more agreeably featured, but I decided it's time to call it a day: I'm leaving Livejournal. My current journal will continue to exist until such a time as Livejournal does something asinine, and I'll probably still check my friends ( Read more... ) -
LJ tweaking
After a while of concentrated tweaking, I've succeded in making my LJ almost as ugly in using S2 as my old S1 theme was. Couldn't figure out how to add the pretentious date format, though. Also, if I've futzed right, this should also show up in my Buzz. -
Sekar Mama
A year ago last Saturday, my uncle died. It was just weeks after celebrating his 60th birthday, and very sudden. I haven't talked about it very much since then, because every time I tried, I needed to stop to keep myself from breaking down in public.

Yay! It's not my birthday!
For anybody confused (as I was) by my user icon (which for a bit said "Yay it's my birthday everyday", it was a Livejounral caching problem which they fixed, apparently. (I thought it was some silly easter egg for my journal anniversary at first.
Now it's fixed. -

Today, my Livejournal turns eight. I've had the opportunity to read through large swathes of it lately, and it's in some ways remarkable how much I've changed (or hope I have). In other cases, I've been surprised to find things out about me that I thought were new developments plainly evidenced in a posting from high school or early college ( Read more... ) -
Postal Service (not the band)
So apparently. The USPS is looking for a bailout loan and is looking at cost cutting measures such as cutting Saturday deliveries. For some reason this bothered me, though I'm not sure why. However, I had an idea from the "go big or go home" school of thought, with a little Works Progress Administration thrown in ( Read more... )
