10:25 am - TextEdit is my friend
|
I downloaded a version of iJournal from VersionTracker that was said to work with OS X 10.2 and later, but it just merrily crashed on launch, so I'm still writing blog entries in TextEdit and posting manually.
One of the cats gacked up a hairball on top of a project I've been working on. So now I need to reprint the masters and go back to Kinko's to replace the copies that are now icked. My video is almost done; I need to figure out the audio and add two or three titles, but then I'm done. Whew. And I thought I had a meeting today, but the reminder postcard says it's next Saturday; I'll call and confirm. And I need to start a posterboard project now... why do I feel like I'm back in high school?
Hypnohippiegirl is back from vacation and has discovered Derren Brown -- cool! Now I need to turn her on to Criss Angel, bwahahaha!
I wish I were going to Dragoncon this year: The Phelps twins! I can't stand the thought of Fred and George separated! I want to see them together as much as possible!
current mood: nervous

11:51 pm - Whew!

Cruisedirector posted that she spent the day working on journal stuff. I did that yesterday. Today, I actually got some "real life" stuff done. Tomorrow, too, I hope.
And I started a fic. I have no idea whether it will go anywhere, but gads, it felt good to write.
Maybe I'll work on some drabbles. I like those... they're like sonnets, with the tight form. 100 words.
Right now, I'm just trying to post so my old friends will re-friend me. Some are saying "not if you're journal's blank."
I am not a sockpuppet! I am a free fan!
I want to make new icons, too. Tomorrow I'll try to spend some time in Gimpshop and update my old Drips icon.
current mood: Fantastico

4:54 pm - Testing, Testingf
|
I got an LJ account so I could read Snupin more conveniently, and I quickly became addicted to the Leaky Cauldron RPG -- and I do mean "addicted" -- and sort of lost my connection there when snark_n_bark was created. My dad died shortly after I'd gotten comfortable with LJ... and now I'm here trying to set up another journal because of another "death," with the whole fetid foofahrah of folks being deleted. I mean, the Internet is for porn... porn makes money like crazy, and men buy Penthouse and women write and draw Snupin. And Snupin is so much more a threat than *real* kiddie porn. Uh-huh.
I'm not in a great place right now. For all that I love adventure, learning new software, trying new things, I like doing it on my own timetable. I'm in awe of the work folks (women) have put in to organize and move -- and just to keep each other informed. Some sociologist should write a dissertation.
I'm struggling right now to keep my head above a rising tide in RL, and I was always at the periphery of the community... never participated intensely... yet it hurts to see names I came to associate with enthusiasm, joy, creativity, playfulness, warmth... now angry and working so hard to archive and move and find new homes.
I'm rethinking my role as a reader and writer. I wish I'd been paying closer attention to the LJ stuff, even with the RL upheaval. It's amazing how there's quiet, business-as-usual, then one day, WHAM, and traffic explodes. I have a teeny FList and couldn't keep up.
I'm feeling pretty happy about being at journalfen, though. Gorblessum.
current mood: hopeful
