We’ve been having more router problems (the fix turned out to be something really simple, which I should have thought of myself, and I’m ashamed to have called miertam up in a panic about it, but I did. I admit my weenieness.) so I haven’t been online at home much this week. […]

So there are several ways of doing it:
1. A character leads a basically fulfilling life (I’m not going to say happy, because too many people think of happiness as inconsequential), and in the course of that life, things happen which threaten the character with the loss of some or all of the things that […]

Apparently I missed approximately 3/4 of a kerfuffle while I was gone - it had started, so far as I can tell, several days before I left, but didn’t reach its full glory until several days after. Sigh. I didn’t bother to go over and look at the forum where it all went […]

Sometimes I think I need a remedial course in nuance. Or better yet, I could become the ruler of the universe and force everyone to wear descriptive nametags. Or maybe there needs to be a shipping code like the Geek Code or the Bear Code, which not only identifies your shipping preference, but […]

As you may know, voting for the LJ Advisory Board is going on now. If you’re at all interested in the future course of LJ, I would recommend going here and reading up in the people who are running, and then casting your vote.

OK, you know when you see several cryptic references on your flist to something that is probably a Debate, if not actually a full-blown Kerfuffle? But no one will say exactly what it’s about or where it’s taking place or why it’s annoyed them? And then several days later you run across a […]

I was reading a post linked on su_herald the other day, which was lamenting the fact that fandom was shrinking and the difficult of keeping up one’s enthusiasm under those conditions. The author asked for recs, while requesting that respondents bear in mind that she only read stories about Angel.
Now, there’s nothing unusual about this […]

is holding a BtVS Spread The Love meme here. You can anonymously rec people on your friends list whom you think folks might like to read, and pick up ideas for people you might like to read. Feel free to pimp!
Spring is springing, the larkspur are starting to bloom, and the weather […]

1. There has been rain. Lots of rain! (For the uninitiated, ‘lots of rain’ in Phoenix = “3 + inches over the course of two weeks.”) This is very, very good. While our drought is not making headlines since it’s been going on for the last ten or fifteen years and […]

So I have been mostly incommunicado lately, nursing my stupid writer’s block and following the latest kerfuffle with appalled interest - appalled at the extent of the vitriol I’ve seen in some of the discussions, and interested because there are obviously widely divergent opinions among the Jewish fan community about Things and Stuff, none of […]
