After nearly seven (seven? Really?) years on LJ, I'm seriously considering checking out DreamWidth for future blogging purposes. There's a rumor going around that LJ will within the next year be discontinuing paid accounts. I don't know what that means, or how the heck they plan on making money if your only options are free or permanent, but . . . ick.

Each year for the past several years, when renewal time has rolled around, it's been a fierce consideration whether or not to renew, lapse, or shut down completely. If LJ is going to get rid of paid accounts anyway, there's no reason for me to renew when the time comes, is there.

If anyone knows how to transfer my LJ archive to DW or even how to archive those years on my hard drive, I'd much appreciate it!

Because I've been getting a stupid amount of spam on my LJ the past few days, I've changed my comments to "registered users." I have a friend or two who occasionally post anonymously to some of my entries (you know who you are), and I apologize that spammybots have forced me to do this.

But ick. I'm sick and tired of having multiple jibberish posts posted to my LJ. Blech.

Anyway, just FYI.
feliciakw: (Dr. Joel scream)
I've been reading through my entries for the past couple of months, and I'm ashamed at how many comments I've failed to reply to.

Please be assured that I read and appreciate every one.

And many, many thanks for all the congrats on the adoption approval. We're currently working on our profile album, and the continuing quest to line of financing . . . continues.

I'm also aware that I still need to write me long and rambly of "Time After Time." There is much to love about the episode, and it seems something of a daunting task to go through it with nothing but squee that will no doubt render unintelligible anything intelligible I might have to say.

So, my apologies dear f-list and readers. I shall try to do better in expressing my appreciation.

With the wonkiness of LJ in the past week, a lot of us have been really frustrated with not being able to post, to communicate with one another, to contact peeps we only contact through LJ.

It seems a viable alternative might be prudent.

I know several of my LJ peeps really have no interest in Dreamwidth. I've also seen it indicated that DW users don't want DW to be inundated by LJ users.

It occurs to me that there is another alternative.

Long before I was talked into joining LJ, I was active on a number of Yahoo Groups. For those unfamiliar with YahooGroups, they act in a very similar manner to an LJ comm. I'm not sure about posting vids, and photos are posted in a photo folder available to the group.

Groups can be open or moderated, membership required or not. I spent many, MANY hours on my YahooGroups list. Too many. It's simple, convenient, and serves most of the purposes we use LJ for.

If anyone is interested, let me know. Perhaps a couple of us could start a group and co-mod or something.

Hello? Are we back on-line?

Oh, f-list, I have missed you so.

I've been freaking out and wanting to share. But no LJ.

I've been watching S2 of Show with nostalgia, and wanting to share, but no LJ.

I've been wanting to read fic, but no LJ.

I've been going a wee bit stir crazy at work, but no LJ.

And some of the people I've wanted to get in touch with, I can't do any other way but LJ.

Ack!

*clings*
feliciakw: (Dr. Joel scream)
What the frell? Been down since Monday, sporadic at best. Izhi and Val tell me it's a hacker attack. What possible agenda could their be for knocking out LJ? To incapacitate the fandoms of the world? Is someone out there really that concerned that fandom will take over the planet? Seriously?

I've got things I want to talk about. Thoughts I need to process. People I need to touch base with that I can only do on LJ.

Oy!

Btw, adoption training session this weekend. I'm expecting it to be informative and exciting. And maybe a little nerve-racking.
feliciakw: (Jensen promo)
Here's the post I made last spring when I first heard mention of Jensen voicing a character in the new Tron video game. There's a link in the post to the convention vid. It was, in fact, at the LA con . . . which seems so long ago now.

Anyway, now that the movie and game release is getting closer (has it already happened?), the publicity is getting out there.
feliciakw: (Dean loves his candy)
So, now, for your convenience, you can crosspost to Twitter and FB. Great. I won't be doing that. I have different peeps on my LJ than I do on my FB, and there's a reason they're separate.

But wait.

You can crosspost comments, too. Including comments in flocked and screened entries. NOT. GOOD. I won't be doing that either. I like to think I have more respect for others than that, to purposely open their private journals to people they don't know.

I'm sure I don't need to tell my flist this. It's more of a gentle reminder. But I'm going to say it anyway. (This is probably more for folks who are going to set their default to crosspost anything so that it will happen without even having to make that decision consciously, but it applies to everyone.)

Please do not x-post anything from my journal to other media sites. Even if it's a comment you make, it's still my journal, and that's like handing my diary to everyone on your FB and/or Twitter, and even if it's a public post, but especially if it's a locked post, I'm sure I don't need to tell you what a breach of trust that is.

As it stands, should I make a locked post, until LJ gets their head out of the sand and realizes how they've violated our privacy (which, when used in context with the internet, I realize is something of an oxymoron), it's quite likely the only way you'll be able to respond, should you so desire, is to send me a PM, as I am seriously considering disabling the comment option on locked posts.

If anyone has a more efficient suggest (preferably one that does not require creating another account on another social website elsewhere . . . though I suppose that suggestion is not off the table . . .), I'd be interested.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] janglyjewels, so I'm not sure what's up with #5. Does LJ know something I don't?

In 2009, feliciakw resolves to...
Give some movies to charity.
Find a better farscape.
Go cooking three times a week.
Take evening classes in csi.
Stop dancing with janglyjewels.
Start a spn fund.
Get your own New Year's Resolutions:


The first three? Actually aren't bad advice.

The last two? A) Why would I resolve to stop dancing? Silly LJ. B) Does that mean I should start saving up to go to a con???? O.o
feliciakw: (Family)
Geo and I are back. The kitties are still here and have not destroyed the place with wanton partying.

Though the circumstances were sad, it was still good to see the fam again. And traveling with Li'l Bro and SiL is always fun. Stories might be forthcoming.

A couple things I've decided while traveling:

1. Sam is a Rob Orbison fan, or at least he was when he and Jess were together.

2. The Chumbawamba song "El Fusilado" reminds me of Dean in the narrator's resilience. Well, with the exception of the chew toy thing. (Btw, it's based on a true story. It's also off one of the the most depressing albums I've heard in a long time.)

I don't know if I'll get caught up on the ol' f-list, so if there's something you think I need to know for my continued good health and peaceful existence, point me in the appropriate direction in case I miss it, 'kay?
feliciakw: (Say What?)
So . . . is this another change in internet networking trends?

First, it was a mailing list (angus, I think). And I was happy there.

Then, it was YahooGroups. And that was good, too. Particularly since I could read it as a message board without having it come to my e-mail if I wanted.

Then it was LJ, and things became less centralized and more spread out and not so easily accessible, but I can record my own thoughts and activities, but still . . . not as focused . . .

Now there's talk of the Dreamwidth thing. Are people jumping ship from LJ for the next trend?

I mean, I'm already on Facebook (mostly for family), and [livejournal.com profile] whitemartyr caught me on a low day and utched me into joining Twitter. I don't need one more place I'm not gonna keep up with . . .

Btw, I'd still be interested in an easy way to download or save my LJ to my computer. Any suggestions?
feliciakw: (Dean loves his candy)
I'm not scolding anyone. This is just a preemptive strike.

I am allergic to spoilers. If I don't mention as knowing it, assume I don't know it, and please don't say anything.

I did not recognize a certain guest character in the recently posted clip. Maybe I should have--in fact, yeah. She was right there in front of me. Duh--but I didn't.

In this particular instance, it was a matter of misunderstanding and miscommunication. It was assumed I picked up on something in the trailer that I didn't because I was so freaked out about something else entirely.

I just wanted to point out that I am adverse to spoilers.

You might also notice that from time to time, I'll put what once upon a time was called "spoiler space" in my comments. This alerts the person that there are potential spoilers in the comment, since we can't put spoiler cuts in comments.

If I run across a spoiler in someone else's LJ, that's my own fault for reading. However, if I find spoilers in the comment threads of my own LJ, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

So, please. I've never had to come up with official policies for anything before. Just be aware.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

Tomorrow is a big day in the US--Election Day. As I've stated before, politics is not one of my favorite subjects, but there are a couple things I think everyone needs to see before heading to the polls and punching Chad or pulling the lever or tapping the electronic screen:

First, everyone should watch the NX episode called "Democracy in America." Here's why . . . (Be warned for spoilers)

And then there's this rousingly patriotic musical presentation )

Well, yesterday did not become as spammy a day as I had thought (sorry, [livejournal.com profile] kalquessa). I spent my down time yesterday writing a post about the thing that's been on my mind the past couple of days, but actually posting it might be counterproductive for a number of reasons. The people I sort of want to see it 1) won't see it; or 2) don't know me and will misunderstand; or 3) don't know me and won't care anyway. If I post it f-locked, well, only a very few folks are familiar with the fandom in question. Then I asked myself, "What does it matter if anyone knows my thoughts on the matter anyway? In all the vast Interwebz, what does it matter what I think? It is what it is, and life goes on." And writing out the post--even if I never post it--sort of helped get it out of my system.

So, yeah, no spammy.

I did finish up the transcript of "Gravity," but I need to clean it up when I get home tonight.

And Geo and I watched the new season of The Unit! Holy moly!!! That deserves a post all it's own, because, DUDE! Talk about coming back with a bang!
feliciakw: (Snoopy)
Just a warning: Today might be a spammy type of day. I've got to compose my thoughts on SPN, I watched the season opener of N3 last night (thoughts there will probably end up on [livejournal.com profile] real_numb3rs, and I'm very proud of myself that I figured out how to count out the rhythm on Led Zepplin's "The Ocean." Nothing's missing, I discovered, but the syncopation is brilliantly whacked.

Now, about the fic . . .

Geo sent me this via e-mail with the introduction:

Need a new fic idea? Check out "The Cotard Delusion" below:




Dude, if anyone adopts this bunny, I want to read it. K?
feliciakw: (Snoopy)
It feels like it's been a while since I've posted. Been busy with RL, and not much new to say on the fannish front.

I have now created an index page at the top of my journal, listing my Still Life entries and my SPN fic. It's not a 100% comprehensive list of my SL entries, but it hits the (obviously) important stuff. All SL entries are tagged accordingly, if you want to go looking for all of them.

I didn't go to the NAVCC last week, and it felt kind of odd. I've gotten used to going one afternoon a week to watch an ep of Still Life. But now that I've had a breather, I'm going to try to get back at it this week. I'll focus most of my efforts on "Dead Serious," since that one got seriously gypped the first time around. Since these will be more transcript-y, it will probably take me longer to get them posted, but I hope to have something for you by Friday.

I've agreed to act as production manager for the play I didn't get a role in, Something's Afoot. I've also agreed to be in the cast of a murder mystery/dinner theater/fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity. It's audience participation, and that always makes me nervous.

Still waiting to hear from the insurance company on the repair of our kitchen ceiling. Grrr . . .

Hot off the snaggle-press, this meme swiped from [livejournal.com profile] ficwriter1966. I've been going through a bit of stuff lately, and I think my squishy sparkly peeps need to be acknowledged.

If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Top honors go to [livejournal.com profile] izhilzha, whom there is no way I would have met without the combination of fandom and the Internet. Period. We met on a mailing list in a previous fandom, and we have been mutually hooking each other on shows ever since. But it's more than that. We share real world concerns, and faith, and things that go deeper than fandom. She has been there for me since Day 1, and I love her for it. We met in RL during one of my trips to LA. We yakked all night to the point where we both changed plans (I think) so we could get together and yak all the next night, too. And when we disagree, she's still there. She honors me with her friendship.

It comes as no surprise that I met [livejournal.com profile] kalquessa (and most of the rest of my f-list, though not all) via Izhi. Laughter, fic, and three-way (shut up, Dean) phone calls resulting in much squee have followed. Sadly, we have yet to meet in person.

The rest of my f-list? There's a reason you're there. Whether it be my enjoyment of your profound thinky thoughts, or your writing, or private correspondences, or just keeping track of what's going on with you, you've been supportive and funny and I've enjoyed "meeting" you all. Maybe someday, I'll get to "meet" you for real.

If you get this, please comment. I'm not getting your posts, and haven't been since about the irony entry. Any idea what's up?
feliciakw: (Default)
Okay, so I've been trying to figure out how to get to my own LJ "home" page . . . you know, the page that lists most recent responses to your LJ, and birthdays, and most popular FAQs and stuff. And I just can't find it. It's probably staring me right in the face, but I just can't find it.

Help?
