| Around...say ten o'clock this morning, forty-five years ago, I was a first grader, sitting in the classroom, trying not to kick the metal bar under my desk (we always got into trouble for kicking the desk but that bar was made to be rhythmically kicked) and wondering if the day would end. I hated school. I really did and nothing that came after ever changed my feelings. I was in one of the most academically pathetic school systems in America and I consider myself mostly self-educated. I read the contents of the school and public library. That's probably why I still question and re-question my own writing skills and probably why I always will. Nevertheless, it was a gray, overcast and cold day in New England. It was just another Friday. Thanksgiving, never a fun day in my family was coming and my birthday was more than a month past. Just another gray day. Then everything on earth changed and nothing, I promise you, nothing was ever really right again.( Read more... ) | ||||||

| I went to a movie last night that included someone who uses a wheelchair as an actual person - they weren't in the wheelchair to Make A Very Special Point, they weren't a Crotchity Angry Person Who Just Needed Love and Understanding, they weren't a SuperCrip. He was just this guy, using a wheelchair. He had normal friendships, a family, and even drove. Heck, for extra-rarity, he was a Native American who used a wheelchair. It was pretty awesome. Too bad that movie was Twilight. | ||||||

| Masque of the Red Death has updated twice in the past two weeks. After only one or two updates a month, this is a pleasant surprise. I have to wonder about the speed-up -- the print version of Volume One just came out in October. A fear of losing their momentum (and therefor their audience)? Or did Wendy just have the most recent chapters backlogged, and other business matters were responsible for the slooow schedule before? In any case, the party's started. And there's BOOBIES! | ||||||||

| !@#$ Gaaah!!! *cries like a baby* I looooved (and still love, mind you!) Pushing Daisies!!! This...this is just a tragedy. Then again though, I shouldn't be surprised. I did see this coming. Quality tv just rarely sells for some reason. My only consolation is that Bryan Fuller might return to Heroes, and if that happens and that show is improved and saved in turn, than I might be able to find a small twinge of forgiveness in my heart for this debacle of ABC's. "Might", being the operative word here. | ||||||||||

| Okay, now I should have free time. Between school and nanny duty, I didn't touch my Nano since two weeks ago. I'm still at 9K. But, all the notes about this lesson are made, the DM (devoir maison, the tests you do at home) will wait Wednesday, I only have to watch Sam the afternoon the same day, nothing else to do before beside the usual, I will have two days alone at home just for me, so I just need to do one or two fandom things before using the rest of the time on Cristal. I'm, what, only 30K behind? Plus, the hiatus are coming. Short comments from lots of aired episode of a lot of shows, not even in a sense of order. (SPN, SV, Heroes, Bones, NCIS) ( Read more... ) More detailed for the last Heroes: ( Spoilers for It's Coming ) The last NCIS ( Cloak ) Great. I think Sam gave me her cold. The last SPN ( Heaven and Hell ) The last SV ( Bride ) | ||||||||

| So, I've given up on NaNo for this year. I'm a little saddened, because I did feel like I was doing really well compared to normal this year. But last week I decided to leave the lazy and procrastinating Mr. Pish, so I've been spending all my time packing and trying to get my life in order. Oh, and Wrath of the Lich King. That snuck its way into my time somehow too. So on Sunday I'll be packing the computer up and Monday will commence the two-day drive from Washington back to Minnesota. It sucks massively, considering I have to leave all the animals behind and don't even get me started on the mess that is my car situation. Yesterday was so crummy I crawled in bed at 6pm and played DS games until I fell asleep. But hey, new start, right? New job, maybe being able to go back to school, rent-free and grocery-cost-free for as long as I can stand my mom's house, new-and-improved as she may be. And maybe I'll be able to get back to my NaNo project and keep working on it. ( In conclusion, a screenshot! ) | ||||

 ETA: Thanks but it's okay. I just refreshed my friends page and saw this post by system (not that I understand what I should do to save my life). I knew there had to be an LJ connection. I think I'm just going to switch to something else in the meantime. I can't deal with all this white! | ||||||||

| 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/the 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 | ||||||

| I still don't know what's up with Twilight. This is a real book series - and there's actually more than one book? And people have read it/them? Seriously? I feel so out of touch with this. Heh, I remember seeing "Breaking Dawn: Coming Soon!" icons and thinking it was for a new album by some popular modern rock band. | ||||

| From my dad: A vintage cat macro! After a day of feeling miserable thanks to some specific biology, it was nice to smile at that.      *pokes hatchlings* C'mon, gender and grow up already! I want to breed Daigo and Kazumi without having all their eggs auto-abandoned! | ||||

| Well I am doing loads better today! Not completely over this sickness yet (I blame the cold weather for this, if it was summer I'd have been cured by now!), but I feel so much better than yesterday or this past weekend. Hopefully I'll be fully over this in time for this weekend. *crosses fingers* Ok, so during the LJ downtime today I got to thinking: should I join Twitter? It looks cool/fun, but would I end up getting annoyed with it or bored or what? Does anyone here twit (lol at Stephen Colbert on that one)? If so, do ya'll like it? And on a random note, I talked to a friend yesterday and she has become the latest person from my real life to join Facebook. Like, for real. Everyone I know in real life is all over this Myspace and Facebook stuff, but not LJ? Not that I'm complaining, because frankly some of my real life associates are people who I'd rather not have to put up with in internet world (because it's bad enough I know them in real life, don't need to drag them to my comfort zone of fandomness), but it did get me thinking. I use to have a Myspace (back in like 2006 or something) and I quickly lost interest in it. I don't know, it just lacked...fandom fun? LOL, and yeah all my Myspace friends? They were friends and pretend friends from real life (because somehow people you hate in real life like to suddenly pretend they don't hate you once they realize you have a Myspace it seems). SO...anyways, during the trial and tribulations of today's LJ server move I did briefly entertain the idea of joining Facebook, but then I remembered Myspace and so yeah. Didn't happen. Does anyone else have these similar random thoughts about journaling/blogging services that aren't LJ related (I'd lump Insane Journal and Journal Fen in with LJ since a lot of it is the same people, and yes I do have a Journal Fen)? | ||||||||
