Yes, I am still alive. I just haven't been feeling much like posting anything here for some reason. Perhaps it's just the psychic contamination from the mass exodus leaving LJ. I'm not interested in shutting down my blog, but I would like to do something else creative online in another forum

I know the feeling... but am persisting nonetheless...good to hear from you!

I've gotten into Tumblr recently. It's an excellent platform, both in ease of use and community.

What? mass exodus from LJ? I didn't notice it. Let me guess, they went to Facebook. And those same folks will change to the next big thing when it appears too, right?

Those strange polaroids sound kind of interesting - it's all in the selection process: 700 pics would send me to sleep but perhaps if you selected and combined a subset (a montage of them?) it could be regarded as "an art work" . . . .
- Not that I really know a darn thing about art !!!
Things like those 'orrible swans made from tyres are symbols of another world, a different, darker reality to me . . . . lit by yellow filament bulbs, smelling of cigarettes and warm beer . . . .

There has been a bit of a dropoff in the use of LJ. It is a worry, because we know that internet companies do close down suddenly and take all their content with them.

I see you know that dark reality as well. Plastic seats on the concrete slab under the carport. Mozzie coil smoke twisting around the staghorn ferns wired to the bare steel uprights. The men have got the hood up on the Kingswood, drinking golden cans of KB. The women are sipping cask mozelle from plastic cups and talking cancer cancer cancer.

LJ - not dead yet. Just about to go out for a walk!

LJ is owned by Russians, and heavily used in the former Soviet Union as a social platform. Probably not going away anytime soon, would be my guess.
