I think it's Nonian's birthday ... if so, happy day, Nonian!
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

LJ was acting strangely for me yesterday as well.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, so is Angel S5 better than S2? I'm a little disgruntled at the suggestion, but maybe I should rewatch.

I made it into the office today! Woot? I'm running out of steam, but am determined to make it to at least noon. Unless my lungs need a neb treatment before then.
Yesterday was pathetic. I loaded up the car with some stuff for Goodwill, drove over there, and unloaded it, and I was DONE. Lungs were tight as heck and I hadn't really done much. So frustrating.
Luckily the Goodwill drop off is next to the dojo, so I hung out there for a bit and snuggled a 2.5 month old baby. Almost as effective as a neb treatment.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Angel S2 is the best season of any Whedon show.

I'm gonna have to go with Firefly season 1 (wow, that felt weird to type), but I still feel pretty confident that Angel S2 is right up there, and above Buffy S2, which I adore to bits.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Angel S2 is the best season of any Whedon show.
Oooh, bold claim! I'd have to go with Buffy S3, or Firefly S1.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, so is Angel S5 better than S2?
No.
Angel S2 and S4 are about on par for me, but S5 took waaaaay too long to get good.
