  "Most people know enough quick-and-dirty html to give their LJ posts a wee bit more formatting without having to work in the dreaded Rich Text Format.
  
  But DID YOU KNOW that there's a right way and a wrong way to use these wee bits of formatting and functionality?"

  "i said in my comment to cimorene that it kind of boggles my mind to think that in fifty or a hundred years we could actually have a genre movie where the studly captain and his stalwart first officer would be each other's love interests-- that some day we could have movies about two guys or two girls falling in love while also being chased by zombies or flying through space or having duels with magic. that maybe some day we'll have books, movies, tv shows and comics where "omfg, i'm gay!" isn't the issue that takes over the entire story."

I need to pack. Fuck.

Sibling needs to come home and tell me where the suitcases are, too. (Accidentally went into work even though it's Memorial Day. Oops.)

I also feel like I should burn my mom some new CDs - I'm really her best source of music. Maybe I should just bring a bunch of blank discs and play music for her, then burn what she likes. I've been listening to a lot of stuff she probably wouldn't like, lately. Too much screaming.

I keep my iTunes library on shuffle when I listen to music on my computer. It keeps things interesting. Today and last night, it's been providing me mostly with Thursday and Bouncing Souls. It's never been quite this good at guessing what I want to hear before. I'm torn between appreciating it and wondering if the laptop is getting a little too sentient.

Dangers of having one's brain inhabited by fictional characters, and other topics.

Gwyneira is making noises about wanting a shiny, but she won't tell me what. Might get her something to go with that gown she swears she's not going to buy because it's impractical (except that she will, because Salvatore was with her when she tried it on, and he told her she looked pretty).
