Igrick's interview on the future of LJ
I found the translation hereAfter reading it, I actually found it really fascinating because... 1) it makes me really interested in seeing where LJ goes, and 2) it absolutely confirms to me that moving to DW both personally and voting for CFUD to move was the absolutely right decision in a way very few things could ( Read more... ) -
This is me coming back to DW and vaguely intending to post more
So! I haven't checked the date I last posted because I basically completely abandoned DW for Plurk and RP and thus fail forever.

So I watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica yesterday! It was awesome and anyone who hasn't watched it already totally should, ideally without spoilers. It's basically the lovechild of Utena and Higurashi having a disastrous fling with Bokurano.

Man, I haven't posted in forever. Partially because of catching a cold, and partially because of general meh at life. So! Have two book reactions, about two books about as polar opposite as things get.
Intrigues by Mercedes Lackey
I think my overwhelming reaction to this book can be summed up as lolololol. ( cut for spoilers for the entire book )
