Is LJ down too? I couldn't get pages to load on the phone las night and it doesn't seem to be loading from my laptop today either.
ETA: except now it seems okay from the computer. Still nothing on the phone. "The server failed to communicate."
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This site says it's just you, brenda. But it's been getting DDoSed a lot recently.

I see the Republican plan for the 2012 and beyond budget is tax cuts for the highest incomes and covering fewer poor via Medicaid and pretty much dismantling Medicare. Awesome.

Brenda, LJ was acting strangely for me yesterday as well. It seems okay today, though.

I seem OK on the computer, but not on the phone. This is seriously hampering my ability to read fic.

Because books.
I think it's Nonian's birthday ... if so, happy day, Nonian!

There's some indication about the DDOS being something about an assault on some of the Russian bloggers; whether it's the Russian government or just some hackers pissed off, nobody seems to know.
I understand that in Russia, the word for "blogging" is the word for LJ: that's how big LJ is in Russia. And, tangentially, that's why the LJ customer service on the English-speaking side has slipped. They don't actually care if we walk off to Wordpress or Dreamwidth: they've got an enormous market in Russia and don't really need the English-language part of the site.
Or so I hear, anyway.

Many, many people are wrong on the internet.
Last night's storm finished destroying a trellis that a branch partially squashed a few months ago. It's going to take a while to undo the tangled mess of vines. Blerg.

I am so tired of being sick. I was nearly asleep at my desk yesterday afternoon: I ended up standing at my desk for some time to keep from just nodding off. When I got home, I forced myself to stay awake long enough to finish a book I was reading, and then went to bed at 9. And I slept through to 7:30.
And I'm still tired, and I think I have a sinus infection again. And because of the job change, I don't have a doctor I can call.
Bah.

Okay, so is Angel S5 better than S2? I'm a little disgruntled at the suggestion, but maybe I should rewatch.
