| 12:41 pm | zomg? It looks like the LJ sky is falling okay, it must be Tuesday xDD I'm a little more worried this time, then I was, uh, the other times, though - and so I'm actually backing up my LJ as we speak. ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} liz_marcs has some great tools to do just that. Dude, I didn't even know you could DO this stuff! It's pretty neat. Like you can transfer all of your LJ posts to another online comm, or you can convert it to a PDF file.And actually, I just got an error message for LJ Book. I guess a lot of people are backing their stuff up right now. I'm hoping nothing too bad comes of this, although letting go the majority of your staff isn't too promising. But I love LJ, I've been here since *2001* and ... yeah. [clings] |

| 11:24 am | It's been forever since I posted anything substantial, and I really want to make it a priority this year to keep up to date with my LJ more. I miss reading through each post and commenting like I used to. I just want to say: Happy New Year to all, I hope it's happy, healthy, exciting, fulfilling, and that you get from it whatever it is you strive and wish for. I <3 you guys, my LJ homies :) My resolutions for this year are: 1. Learn something new. 2. Move upwards in my job. 3. Stick to healthier/smarter habits. 4. Walk the dog more. 5. Read. 6. Stand up for myself. 7. Stop caring so much about what other people think. 8. Make my bed. 9. Drink less pop. 10. Take more risks. 11. Be more social. 12. Don't put myself down (or let others do it for me). An ambitious list to be sure, but I figure if other people can do it all year-round without it having to be a resolution at all, I can do it, too. I didn't mean to put it in any particular type of order, but looking at it now, I wonder if I kinda did anyway. I've already sort of completed number 1. I recently ordered this from amazon. It's called "The Memory Book: The Classic Guide to Improving your Memory at School, at Work, and at Play". It's really interesting stuff. My memory's not the best for some things (while incredibly accurate for others), and I thought this might help me out. One of the exercises in the book is memorizing the 50 States. A while back I tried that name as many states as you can in 10 minutes game, and did ... okay, considering I'm Canadian ;) I think I got about 30-35 within that time frame. Now I can reel off all 50, in alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order, in about 3 minutes. For some reason, I keep forgetting Alabama :| It basically talks about associating words/things/whatever with pictures. So for "Alabama" I picture a photo album, because "album" sort of reminds me of Alabama. Then you link that picture, to a picture that you can associate with the next State on the list. So I picture the album falling into a snow drift for Alaska. The goofier the better. Like the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz clutching a bucket of Kentucky fried chicken, or a naked chick with a hunk of cheese on her head standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial xD * But yes - I definitely recommend checking it out. I'm only into the third chapter but already I find the methods they recommend working. It sticks, too. No forgetting it again in a few days or a week. And now - I'm off to the mall with my mom. I can hear my final gingerbread latte of the season calling my name. * For the record, it was Washington -> West Virginia -> Wisconsin :q |

| 9:21 pm | SGA, Shrine thoughts First off, I loved certain parts of this episode, I really really did, and some parts ... not so much :p Thoughts/spoilers behind the cut; no Keller love. So .... yeah, Keller fans might want to move on lol ( The Shrine ) |

| 11:36 pm | SGA Rant :BBB ( very minor spoilers (taken from Mallozzi's blog) ) ETA: Okay, not so much a rant as a ... brief, spastic vent. |

| 11:07 pm | After seeing the photographs strippedhalo has been taking (one a day for a whole year), I thought I'd give it a shot, too. Mostly because I think it'll be something really cool to look back on once the year is over. Hopefully I actually keep up with it, and/or don't end up with 360 pictures of Soda. But! To get started, here's yesterday's and today's:( pictures! ) Not much to report with me. Work is irritating lately because there have been so many screw-ups with my schedule/timesheet that it's not even funny, but I'm going to talk to the boss on Monday so hopefully everything will get fixed then. I did some spring cleaning on Friday so my room is nice and clean! Also - I washed clothing, always a plus :q For those who celebrate, I hope you all have a wonderful Easter ^_^ |

| 10:32 pm | "THE TWO COREYS"? RLY? THE COREYS HAVE A REALITY SHOW? Oh why. Why was I not TOLD? And Haim is the Oscar? :O?? My world. She is blown. My 80's world anyway. ETA: OMG it's so scripted and contrived, I know, but the Coreys are fighting :(!! And now Haim is leaving with his little bag and they're playing SAD WALKING AWAY MUSIC. And now they did just a montage of the Coreys all loving each other and hugging. xDD |

| 10:33 pm | I'm thinking about participating in sgabigbang, but man ... 40,000 words is a LOT. I mean ... a lot a lot. I've been in fandom for a really long time and the longest completed work I have is my eXistenZ story which clocks in at just over 17,000. Still, it seems like fun, and I like the idea of having someone do fanart for something I write :> |

| 7:01 pm | I'm making this post from my iPod, wee! It is pretty nifty but this keyboard will take some getting used to. I look forward to a time when wifi will be as easily and widely accessible as radio signals. But for now I thank Second Cup for their consideration ;) |

| 4:28 am | Kindred II ( spoilers )<3 |

| 11:57 pm | iTunes iPod users! Is there any easier way to get album art onto your iPod other than dragging and dropping it onto each individual song? Like, if I have an album with 12 songs, I find I have to drag and drop the art to EACH song for it to register. Isn't there anyway just to do it an album at a time? Thanks! |

| 5:41 pm | FLIST FTW!! [hugs my beautiful smart flist] Thanks for the help on the previous riddle posted, it took a good FIVE YEARS off my life. But luckily they came off the end and those are probably crappy anyway. The thing is, I got as far as: case = x (300 + x) + x = 310 AND I COULD NOT MOVE BEYOND BECUZ I'D BEEN DOING PUZZLES FOR TWO HOURS STRAIGHT AND MY BRAIN WAS MUSH & IT WAS COLD & I HAD NO CHOCOLATE & THE LIGHTING WAS ALL WRONG IN MY ROOM & [EXCUSE EXCUSE FAIL] :( But yeah, it wasn't computing. Hehe. It all comes from this DS game called, wait for it, Professor Layton & the Curious Town. Yes. Hi. I'm 26 years old :D |

| 3:14 am | INSANE I AM GOING INSANE. TRULY TRULY. JUST CRZY. OMG. Okay, so normally I'm pretty good with the puzzles/riddles, and I dunno, guys, I DUNNO, maybe it's because it's late and I haven't had enough sleep but I just can't figure this one out and I swear to God I'm just - I'm going to lose it. You are all very smart, SO PLZ - PLZ HALP: While walking through a market on vacation, you notice a small stand selling cameras. A camera-and-case set is selling for $310. The seller tells you that the camera costs $300 more than the case itself and that the case costs the price of the set minus the cost of the camera. You decide you'd rather wait on buying a camera and opt to just by the case alone. You hand the seller a $100 bill and see his eyes light up. Think fast now! How much change should you be getting back? The answer is an actual dollar amount, so it's none of that 'oh they don't take $100 dollar bills' or something like that. And omg, I just know it's going to be something so painfully obvious I'll feel like even more of a dumbass afterwards. Help me! Help me before I lose my mind [cries] [hobbles off to bed] |

| 6:33 pm | -__-; I have the dreded 1-9PM shift at work all this week and next week, and boooo - sux0rs, I hatez it, I does. And the week after that I have Wednesday off and work the Saturday. So yes, expect another rambly post from me at that time. The only good thing about workng this shift is that I get to sleep in and it gets kind of quiet around here, less people calling definitely. But still, starting so late just sorta fills up your whole day, 'cause from the minute you wake up you're just waiting to go into work! I look forward to Kindred II this Friday, I enjoyed Kindred I but it felt a lot like build-up for the last two episodes of the season, which I can understand was necessary. I hope we get a nice pay-off!! Looking back on the season so far, I can't help but feel like the first half was way stronger than the second, but overall a good year. I hope next year we get more team-focus though, and that we see some more variety in the type of planets/aliens they encounter. [watches clock, twiddles thumbs] |
| 12:08 am | Last Man "Last Man" pic behind the cut, it's just a shot of John Sheppard (looking hot and awesome), just very slightly spoilery. ( Last Man pic ) |

| 12:48 am | gunmetal grey I love how that colour sounds, all steely and aggressive and powerful, but really - it's just grey. Still, it brings forward all kinds of connotations :q And it's one of the colours you can get the Motorola Razr2 in. I've had this fic in my head for ages, and maybe one of these days I'll even write it, but in it Ronon wears a black jacket, black slacks, and a gunmetal grey coloured shirt, topped off, of course, with a pair dark sunglasses. For he is Ronon: the bodyguard. |
