Well, that's that.
I went to add a new RSS feed to my LJ account today (since aside from a sparse handful of people, I use LJ as an RSS aggregator), and discovered that unpaid accounts can't add new RSS feeds by URL. Reasonable, no doubt, but means that my last excuse for using LJ is gone. I don't post, I don't read people, I'm pretty much just here for the RSS ( Read more... ) -
For everything else, there's VISA.

I think I'm done with LJ.
Only in silence the word,
only in dark the light,
only in dying life:

Ursula K. LeGuin - The Creation of EaI have been silent a lot lately. I've taken this summer to watch myself change and grow slowly over time, considering where I've come from and where I want to go. It's not as self reflexive or ( Read more... ) -

Spring break, and going on hiatus
The last two weeks have been great. I didn't do everything I was planning to (when do I ever?), but I did get quite a bit done, and got to relax a lot.
I kicked things off in style with a Sisters Of Mercy concert on the 22nd, followed by dinner with a few close friends on the 24th, and a housewarming party at sunyata__'s.

*quivering ball of jelly*
Ok, quarter and finals are over, as of 10 PM tonight. I'm going to go fetal for a bit. *Can't sleep, homework will eat me, can't sleep, homework will eat me...* -
A little for Angyl and a little for me
This one's been kicking around in my head for weeks now, but something being-angyl said made me think it was time to finish it.

V for Vendetta
woody77 and I went and saw "V for Vendetta" tonight. It's really amazingly good, but it breaks my heart to watch it. I am too young to personally remember the Berkeley riots, or Stonewall, but I am old enough to remember Ruby Ridge, and Waco, and educated enough to know about the Bonus Army march during the great depression. And I have not yet ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So, as anthologie rightly points out, before you commit a really dumb crime, you should consider if you really want a headline that says "Moron Gets Caught in Stupidest Heist Attempt Ever" plastered across the front page of the news, alongside your photo. However, really, I think that criminals should have more flair than that. You should design a really ( Read more... )
