LiveJournal is back up? Mostly? I still can't post pictures.

And, hey! I finally figured out how to use the 'Friends Page' feature, so I don't have to bop to different journals to read. Yay, me!


Other fun and/or good stuff while LJ had the hiccups...
  • Dragon Age II: Legacy downloaded and was okay. Not sure if it was $10-okay, as it didn't take me long to play through. On the other hand... Anders is screwed with in delightfully angsty ways, so that's a pretty awesome fanfiction investment.
  •  

  • The WIP, Good Times Gone, now has another one and a half-ish chapters. (I'd like to say it was all me, but I smacked the Dammit Doll around a bit, and Shazam! I got some decent dialogue, a transition-type scene, and a short action sequence (complete with semi-snark). Love the Dolly.)
  •  

  • T2 finally finished its download. Can I get a whoop-whoop? Decided to buy TSCC DVDs; there are too many things queued up right now for download. Discs should be here early next week... *squee*
  •  

  • Alphas 1x03 is downloading right now... and, hey, my mom is actually watching this one. Normally, she's not a sci-fi fan, so... progress? LOL
  •  

  • Watched Burn Notice 5x06 in real time yesterday. No comments right now, was busy yakkin' with mom while it was on. Being a federal employee, she did spend a large amount of time mocking the County Clerk who would allow a member of the public into confidential records. ;-)
  • Daughter and I are up to Eat Me in Farscape-land. (Oh, and my dad stopped by and acted like Christmas had come early to Northern Idaho when I told him I had the entire series now, and yes, he could borrow the first two seasons. One of the few 'bonding' things we ever did  when I was younger was watching Star Trek: TNG together.)
  •  

  • Reading: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Little heavy on the exposition side for me, but still enjoying it.

 

  • Totally off topic. My power bill for last month really wasn't $316.84. It was $83.38. Not sure what happened, how I received an old invoice, but the nice lady at the co-op reassured me I didn't need to have a stroke after all.

Eeep. Ep#3 of Alphas might not have been the best one to start Mom off with, huh? hehe I dug it. Could've been for purely selfish reasons.

Glad you're liking "Dragon Tattoo." I thought it was slow to start, given all the business/financial exposition, and had waaay too many characters to keep a tight grip on. However, once things get going by the middle of the book, once the real mystery and plot take over, you're in for a ride.

As far as Friends Page setup and other LJ palaver... I'm still playin', may need some more learnin'. ;)
