TEST 2
Did I finally get Facebook to stop importing my LJ entries as Notes?! Here's another test! -
Test test test
I am trying to disable a Facebook feature that is automatically creating notes out of the entries I post on LJ.
If you see this and you have advice, please let me know. -
Sometimes all you have to do is ask
I was thinking about recycling the other day, and how there doesn't seem to be any way to recycle at the apartments where we live. There's a big ole dumpster where people put their bags of trash, but no recycling bins. So I emailed the landlady, all like "What's up landlady? Let's save the planet, woddya think ( Read more... ) -
so far
So far, the action is not living up to the intention. Will someone please come to my house, disable Netflix (actually, how about just ALL of the Internet) and give me a swift kick in the rear end? And then duct tape a pen in my hand? -
Roots & Wings: the beginning
What's this-am I actually (gasp) writing something in my journal?!

Books of 2009
I stole this idea from many other fine people who do the same thing: keeping track of the books I read (in order) throughout an entire year. Here is the list from 2009. I am very disappointed in it. There is practically nothing on there that was read later than November, because I got so busy, and the content of the list is, in my opinion, less ( Read more... ) -
Blast from the past
There was this tape that we listened to over and over when I was a little kid. In the manner of children, I didn't know what the name of the tape was, or who was on it, or even the names of the songs, really; I just knew that I loved it.
The subject of this tape recently came up in conversation with my mom, and I remembered how awesome this music ( Read more... ) -
xkcd
I've been reading xkcd for a long time, and I love it. But it was not until tonight that I discovered the cherry on the webcomic cake-the reason why this comic is so damn good.
