The Cookie Jar

A new season of anime is here. I sort of skipped last season, but I'm back on the boat. I'm gonna talk about what I've been watching under this cut because there will be some spoilers, mostly for Kuroshitsuji.

( I'm a big spoiler cut! Click me! )

I made a super yummy quiche last night. I really love quiche. It's a great way to clean out extra cheese and veggies from the fridge. Unfortunately, there's always a lot of both in there taunting me, My mom typically keeps two or three packages of feta in the fridge at once. One is not enough. *sighs* Anyway! This quiche disappears quickly. Every time I turned around, there was less and less of it. Even Andrew, who doesn't like quiche much, couldn't keep his hands off of it and had a full plate full.

( Warning: This quiche is very garlicy! It is not for that special sparkley vampire in your life. )

LJ is being douchey again. See what they've done now over here.

Stolen from Kat:

If you & I woke up in jail together...using only FOUR words...what would you say to me? (If you comment, you should post this in your LJ too. Fair is fair!)

So, I've been poking at Google Wave and it's...interesting. Confusing, but interesting. Originally, they gave me eight invites and I used up about four. Well, I just signed in and they gave me 21 new ones! D: So I'm inviting a few of you at random. And if you want to give it a poke, lemme know your gmail address in the screened comments.

Mwa ha ha ha! I have the power!

So, I love my Firefox Add ons. I LOVE Ad block. Add Bookmark here is awesome. My lj add ons are awesome and there's just a whole bunch of them that I can't imagine browsing without. I used to have Greasemonkey, but then it just stopped working for me. I dunno why. It just broke. And I'd tried intermittently to get it to work without luck. So I hadn't had it for a while. I found a reason to get it again today!

Briefly shifting gears, I don't like Twitter. In fact, I almost kind of hate it. Yes yes, I have a Twitter. But if you look at my Twitters, I'm sure about half of them are about how I do not like or forget I have a freaking Twitter. In fact these days, I spend more time on Twitter blocking serial adders than anything. Twitter is awash with inane little comments and one sided conversations. That drives me nuts. Ugh! And what's worse is that now they want you to crosspost yoru twitters everywhere. Hey, crosspost to myspace! To Facebook! To Livejournal!

NO! No I say! Spare us the horror of twitters! If I wanted to read those little crunchy bites of nothing, I'd read twitter. I don't, so I certainly don't want to see a whole slew of them bundled up and tossed onto Livejournal. Lately, it's been driving me NUTS! Yeah, I can scroll past, but it still drives me nuts as I do so! It's my friendlist. I want to hear about my friends (just not their twitters) and it seems stupid that I'd have to remove or filter them to not hear that particular part.

Enter Greasemonky! I have found a Greasemonkey script that blocks out Loudtwitter posts on LJ. *does a dance of victory* Take that Twitter! You can fine it Over Here. You still see the post itself, just not the whole list of tweets, so you don't have to ignore your friend, you just don't have to hear their tweeting XD And since I have greasemonkey, I poked around at some other scripts and found a nifty Killfile script so you can hide or block the comments of certain people on lj or various other blogging sites. Very handy for ignoring idiots and trolls. There's an lj comment unfolder script drifting around. I don't have to worry about that with a paid account, but changing accounts makes me miss the features, so using that script is also handy if you don't fork over money to lj. It can also work on other lj clones like journalfen.

Anyway, now that I have successfully slain Twitter on my LJ, I am going to take a victory nap. It's like a victory dance, but better! In closing, I'd apologize to all my twittering friends except that....I'm not sorry! I love you, just not your tweets.

Oh, and in related news, I found some chick on twitter who decided that my name was awesome and wanted to be For-Chan Fabulous. *smirky eyeroll* Whatever.

Because we all know that I am omnipotent, I present you with this message from lyiint about y!gallery:

There was a mix-up with the server company, which has been sorted out, but since we were down anyway, we decided to do an upgrade rather than shut down at another time.

Y!Gallery should be back online, bigger and better within the next 24-48 hours. ^^

The message was posted a little past midnight central time, so do your mental math.

Last month, I posted about United Airlines breaking Guitars. Well, three songs were promised and I checked tonight and the next one is up! In fact, I was the first view on it :D It's wracked up over a hundred since then. But anyway, here it is:



I can't decide which one I like better. They're both amusing. I'm leaning towards this one though.

Wow, another embedded video. I couldn't help it though! You need to see this!



More info from the band on the situation is here. And unsurprisingly, once the song hit the airlines did a massive backpedal which the singer talks about in this video response. Well United, that's what you get for fucking around with people. And there's still two more songs to come. HA HA!

Thanks to the lovely Jo-Jo, I'm now the somewhat befuddled owner of a Dreamwidth account! I'm somewhat befuddled because suddenly I have to set up a layout and decide which 6 of my hundreds of icons to use. I don't even have my hundred plus icon spots filled up on LJ, despite making hundreds and hundreds of icons. So right now I just put up some Niku and cookie ones for the time being. As long as I'm fiddling around with a Dreamwidth layout, I should probably consider changing my LJ one too. I love the Nyankos, but I think it's time for a change. I'm tired of the pinkness. Some blue would be nice. Anyway, if all goes as planned, this should crosspost to LJ. That's nifty, though I don't expect to post here much. I already have an insanejournal and honestly I forget it exists. Oops! But Dreamwidth is supposed to be hot stuff for fandom. If nothing else, as I told Jo-Jo, I'm squatting on my name so you can't take it! Neener neener! XD
