    twilight review!
    Well, I rather liked it. Though I'm sure it helped that we had Tonks in the row in front of us - she was awesome.

    Do these really count as spoilers? )

    S2 Layout Issues
    Hi, Guys. I know a good many of the S2 themes are kinda hosed right now. Something changed with the LJ migration to their new data center. The Bloggish and Style Contest themes have their CSS hosted at LJ. That's by LJ's design, with how the code is distributed. The code is set to use LJ's CSS proxy to handle the access and display of the CSS settings. Since LJ's move, though, the CSS proxy has been kaput. But the CSS itself at LJ is still working. Until we can find a way around all this, a couple users have a way that you can use the Custom CSS in your customization area to get your layouts pretty damn close to the original for that layout and theme.

    You'll enter two sets of code in that area. The first one would be the code from this URL:
    http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/common/base-weblog.css

    Just go there, copy it, and paste into the custom CSS box.

    And the second set you enter will be from the direct CSS URL for your specific theme. You can locate this URL by viewing the source of your journal in your browser (View Source code). If you scroll down to the <link rel="stylesheet" section of the source code, you'll see the direct url to your theme's CSS at livejournal. Go there, copy that code, and paste it after the base-weblog.css code above. Make sure you have "No" selected to use the included base code (it's a dropdown), and that the URL field above the custom CSS box is empty. Click to save changes, and your theme will display much as it is supposed to. There is occasionally an element like a border that doesn't come through, but it's pretty close. As an example of the CSS URLs, this is the one for the Baby theme for the Bloggish layout: http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/lilia/theme-baby.css The CSS URLS will be start with http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml with the rest varying by theme and layout. I'll still be looking for an alternative to having to futz with custom CSS, but in the meantime, that method of applying the CSS will get your Bloggish and Style Contest journal themes put back together pretty well. Thanks, Robin

    Monk is finally cancelled. What will Lee Goldberg do with all that free time?

    Crossover Madness!
    If you're one of the legions of disenchanted Heroes fans, I have a suggestion that I think will make the show more watchable: simply imagine that the Petrellis are in fact the Bluths. Let's face it, the mother had more than a touch of the Gangys to begin with. And once you start repeating all of Sylar's lines as if he was G(abriel).O.B., you'll find that the show is a lot funnier.

    Everybody knows Twilight is lame.

    But guy who plays Edward is, like, totally cool because he hates Twlight.

    So it's okay to fangirl guy who plays Edward. And stand in line for hours at the mall with a cattle band on your arm to get his autograph, because you hate Twilight, too. You're cool. Not like those other fans.

    And, by extension, it's okay to get all het up over Twilight. In order to hate it. Because that's cool.

    You should probably buy a t-shirt while you're there, so you can wear it ironically.

    And go see the movie, because you'll be sooooooo annoying to the regular fangirls, with your coolness and your irony.
