1:26a | How do you say LOL? That weird phone whatever commercial with the "With a full keyboard you can say LOL the way you'd really say it" makes me laugh because Donna and I? Say LOL. Only you know, we're in the South so it sounds like, "Lawwwl." Perhaps we should be unplugged from the interwebz. |

1:30a | Hey, wanna see my irritated face? Apparently murdered cop Denny Colt (Gabriel Macht) returns as the Spirit, dedicated to protecting Central City from crime. His archenemy, the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson), is a ruthless killer who will destroy the Spirit's well-loved city to find the secret of immortality. As the Spirit pursues his quarry, he meets many beautiful women who would be happy to either kiss or kill him. |

8:59p | Crustaceans! I have at least two surviving babby crayfish because I saw two together! YoY I also bought three of these red claw macro shrimp today and they are awesome. I would show you my own pictures, but they have vanished into the depths of the plants and probably won't be seen again for a week. I'm excited that they have supressed larval development (meaning instead of having a free-swimming larvae stage which is hard to feed and keep alive, they basically hatch as miniature adults and are much easier to raise) because I'd like to hopefully have a bunch of these too. The whisker shrimp I got a couple of months ago don't have a suppressed development so it will be difficult to get any survivors from the bunch in the Battlestar. I may stick a bunch of them in outside ponds in the spring and see how they do out there since people generally have success raising ghost shrimp that way. |

2:48p | Day of St. Andrew, patron saint of Scotland, Greece, fisherman and golfers. Samuel Clements (Mark Twain) born, 1835. At Eton, an ancient and mysterious game called the Eton Wall Game is played. The goals on the field are a chalk mark on a wall and a mark on a tree. Most of the game consists of scrimmage against the wall and there is seldom a score. Advent Advent includes the four Sundays before Christmas, beginning with the one nearest November 30. In Normandy at this time farmers used to send children with torches into the fields to exorcise them. The youngsters would burn bundles of hay and cry: Mice, caterpillars and moles Get out, get out of my field; I will burn your beard and bones; Trees and shrubs Give me bushels of apples.

7:50p | My word count is pastede on yay Someone claims to have 'won' NaNoWriMo with 2.5 million words, a feat so fantabulous it apparently requires announcing twice. Unfortunately, checking out his website reveals that he used a less than conventional technique to reach this count: In order to compile so many words in such a short time, Leach leaned heavily on the Internet. He generated what he calls a “non-linear literary collage” by mining various blogs, chat rooms and fan fiction sites, grabbing whatever words caught his eye. “The talk pages of Wikipedia and the reader comments on io9.com were my absolute favorites,” he said. “These are my people. I shamelessly plagiarized their words -- even their misspellings and gramatical errors -- at every opportunity, combining the anonymous messages with recycled content from ‘Marienbad My Love’ and entries from my dream journal. I repeatedly cut and pasted and searched and replaced, transforming the various writings into a completely new and unique literary work.” NaNoers are Not Amused. Edited to add my favourite reply from the forums so far: Plagiarizing other peoples' words is not writing. It's plagiarism, pure and simple, contrary to the spirit of Nano. Not to mention that your pretense is so thick you could stand on it and not worry about sinking for a good three hours.

9:10p | Is there still such a thing as an early adopter account here at JF? I'm too broke right now to renew my paid account, and it looks like it bounced me back to free after it expired. |

3:36p | Charitable Schadenfreude So, many of you have probably heard of this or saw last year's, but I thought I'd share it all the same. Desert Bus for Hope is a charity event for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. It goes like this: They play the most monotonous video game ever, the legendary Desert Bus for a certain number of hours, with the number of hours based on the donations they get. The donations continue while they play, adding more time. Each hour costs more. They have live streams of the bus, the drivers, and a chat where you can talk to them. Every thousand dollars there's a bit of macrospam on the site in celebration. As of when I'm posting this, they've been playing for almost 22 hours, out of 101 currently paid for with over $13,000 in donations, and have one point, working on 2. Last year they got $22,800 and six points, the world record. They're looking to break both. It's good fun for us, torturous for them, and hey, if you're going to contribute to the suffering of others, might as well do it charitably. ETA: Well, they broke the important record. They just broke $25,000 and counting, committed to 110 hours, of which they've played about 64. They haven't gotten more than 6 points though. They keep crashing. ETA2: So Gabe and Tycho decided to match the next $10,000 that came in after about $25,500. Current count since the announcement? $5000 has already been donated, bringing them up to 30K and something like 113 hours. There will be at least $5000 coming from PA, probably more as more donations come in. The boys almost cried when Tycho called and told them about it. |

2:12a | Does anyone here watch The IT Crowd? It's a very, very funny show that's on British TV and is currently in its third season. The second episode aired tonight and I laughed so hard, I nearly broke something. Here's the link of the new episode. This has been an incredibly funny series. That there episode? Pushed it into "legendary" status for me. Apparently a lot of other people feel the same way. Just wondering if any of my favourite wankas share this special love? Current Mood: Amazed |

8:03p | Chocolate Pie! I know most of us are still stuffed from Thanksgiving, but I tried a pie recipe from the newspaper this year and it was really om nom nom, so I'm sharing. ( And then there was Pie and it was good! ) ( Dragons ) |

7:58p | Odio el español, excepto por el chico 2D. Axis Powers Hetalia is a tiny, cute little fandom about a Japanese webcomic that features the relationships of several countries's personifications. It's a very sweet and peaceful fandom... but that could potentially change. If you don't beleive me, scroll down until you reach secret 114 If you're too lazy, here's the exact link *sits on hands to watch the "RACIST!" "IGNORANT!" "MORON!" screams unfurl and then see if it grows enough to move it to F_W or maybe unfunnybusiness * Current Mood: cranky |

5:49p | "So long, suckers!" Zac, aka Anime News Network's Answerman, has announced his retirement in the form of an epic flounce. As a crusty old douchenozzle myself, I gotta say - I LOL'd. |

6:25p | Welcome to the "Least Intelligent Student Union in the Country" The student council at Carleton University in Ottawa has made a shocking discovery*: Cystic Fibrosis only affects white men, and is therefore not an "inclusive enough" disease to raise money for. Needless to say, this causes a leeeetle backlash. In response, the person who originally made the motion to remove CF from their charity list is "currently not able to live happily." How sad. :( ETA: *And by "shocking", I mean "completely false". Current Mood: S-M-R-T |

4:49p | All of my favorite sites are having sales Sarracenia Northwest is having their holiday sale now. Most items are marked 15% off but some are marked as high as 30% off. (I can't find the 50% off items they mention in their banner but I don't mind much.) ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} txtriffidranch recs these guys all the time and I have to rec them as well. I've gotten carnivores from them and then gotten what are basically rescue carnivores from Lowe's and let me tell you, the difference is amazing. Even the pitcher plant I got from a local nursey can't hold a candle to the plants these guys send out, even after being shipped across the country. So if you're looking to try something a little different, I reccommend picking up a Cape Sundew. They're really attractive, super easy to keep (mine live in an Ikea glass thing with gravel on the bottom and peat on the top and catch lots of gnats that bounce off the window they sit in.) and just plain interesting. I got these and some Asian pitcher plants as gifts for people last year. |

12:53p | My house smells really good right now. Too bad it's because I'm seasoning my cast iron skillet instead of making food. Actually, I think while the oven's on anyway, I'm going to go make those cider cupcakes. |
