And since Obama has blue skies and sunshine, and McCain is considering postponing the republican convention because of -- get this -- rain of biblical proportions, does that mean that God wants us to vote for Obama ( Read more... )

Stephenie Meyer fails at writing.  I must have read this, or something like it, at least a hundred times in the last few days.  I haven't seen author bashing like this since the epilogue of HP7.  And I have to say, just like after HP 7 it makes me laugh.

Ok, so maybe I get a little over-excited about organizational tools.  You should have seen me when sheer post-it notes came out. I have two accounts: a personal ( Read more... )

My paid account status expires at the end of this month, and with it, my extra icons.  As I will not be sending any more cash LJ's way, I now need to prune my icons.  Does anyone know how many icons you get with a free account?  Which icons are "must keeps"?
