10:45p Release #43
http://community.livejournal.com/lj_releases/41072.html
Among the 'features' added:
Title of post in Last Post, Friends Pages, Calendar view (every page where displayed multiple entries) now links to entry.
One problem, though. The code broke the Smooth Sailing layout. The whole thing.
You're supposed to test these things first, boys and girls.
ETA: Looks like it was fixed. But how long until something else breaks?
current mood: annoyed

10:31p we thought your fate was sealed
I posted about this earlier under flock (mostly because I am still wary of posting publicly about work in any kind of detail), and I am kind of already worn out with thinking and talking about it, but I got laid off today. My last day at work is 12/15. (thanks again to everyone who's already been so supportive. I really, truly appreciate it, more than I can say.)
I guess I will have lots of time to write and bake holiday cookies.
fleurdeleo took me out for a tasty early dinner and I stuffed myself with nutella and banana crepes, and the food coma made me fairly sanguine. I am sure the real freak out is coming, but right now I am still in the "WTF just happened?" stage.
So my question (the first of many, I'm sure) is, those of you who have given up on having a landline and are only using cell phones, does that work for you? Especially while job hunting? I am trying to think of easy expenses to cut, and that is one of them, as the only reason I have a landline these days is for emergency internet purposes when the cable goes out, and I can give that up to save $40 a month (plus $24 on long distance I never use, and $19 on the back up dialup service I never use).
*
To cheer me up, romanticalgirl wrote me an adorable Frankentim ficlet: Five Finger Discount, which totally nails their season 4 car conversation dynamic. ♥
I did post a story yesterday, because what I really needed to write was a coda to 4.10 featuring girl!Sam. *facepalm* Ah, well, when the going gets tough, I write girl!Sam fic:
Quidquid deliquisti Supernatural; girl!Sam/Dean; au; spoilers through 4.10; adult; 1,620 words Sam can't throw stones.
It was much pornier in my head, but it ended up being more about the conversation than the sex. Funny how that happens. I also finally gave in and made a beggars would ride tag, so all the stories that go with that/use that as a background are tagged now. *facepalm* I am still stubbornly refusing to call it a 'verse, or a series. You can read any of the stories as standalones, I think, though possibly they make more sense if you've read the first story, because then you've got all the background I'm working from. I still want to write random casefiles with girl!Sam, too. I don't even know, guys, but I've given up trying to figure it out. It makes me happy.
*
I love the song "Keep Yourself Warm" by Frightened Rabbit (it was playing when I started writing this entry). I feel there is a story to be written in thse lyrics: I'm drunk, I'm drunk / And you're probably on pills / If we've both got the same diseases / It's irrelevant, girl. Possibly a Kara story I will never write. or maybe angsty Max/Alec?

The Office ( spoilers )

Meanwhile, I went to my manage icons page and saw this: Currently uploaded: 145 out of 195. 195! Woo! I misread the earlier post and thought they were capping it all - permanent account + loyalty icons and everything - at 150, so that was a nice shock. I know what I will be doing at work tomorrow. *snerk*

10:22p better get stuffing your piehole
Pushing Daisies
( spoilers )
Oh, show, I will miss you so much!
I watched Life, then, and I really do enjoy Crews and Reese's partnership, and I kind of love Ted a lot, but they need to get rid of Donal Logue. Also, I need to catch up on all the eps I missed.
And now it's L&O with Katee, and I am fading fast. I was at work late and I didn't sleep well last night, and man, I am totally going to bed when this is over.

current mood: exhausted current music: L&O: original recipe
