7:32AM - Uh-oh. 

Ponderosa121 points out security flaws in the LJ system related to account banning/suspensions.

11:06AM - Regarding Pratchett-mania

I hope that something non-strikeout related here will not be taken amiss, nay, may even be welcomed!

So I find myself with a bit of free time, a library card, and a credit for Audible. I have long been told that I am pretty much the biggest loser on the internet for knowing nothing of Terry Pratchett beyond Good Omens. Previously, I was far too intimidated by the number of Discworld books out there to start trying to read them, but I have recently been informed that they are not one of those series where you have to read them in chronological order to understand everything.

Thus, I am requesting you, members of f_l, to please recommends some Pratchett books for me to read. Are there particular Discworld books that I absolutely must read? Should I start with something outside of that series? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

12:16PM - Potterfans documentary in the works

Video from the BBC web site about a documentary in the works called We Are Wizards, which focuses mostly on "Wizard Rock", including Harry and the Potters. (Uses an embedded media player -- Windoze Media, I think.)

6:21PM - Christopher Walken makes roasted chicken with pears

Christopher Walken makes roasted chicken with pears.

ZOMG, Christopher - wash your hands between handling the raw chicken and the spoon for the salt! Otherwise, so much love!

Current mood: *sporfle!*
