Dude, seriously? LJ fucking up is not surprising to me at this point, but damn. I know some people have to have access to all your posts for security and maintenance and shit, but...sketchoriffic and uncool (scroll down to the comments, not the "news"):

And one more reason I'm pro-switching to Dreamwidth, and am now contemplating deleting my old LJ entries, since...eesh. And I've got them over there anyway: The Dreamwidth folk explain themselves, and where they stand on this. And take suggestions:

Oh yes, I am still watching this show...though my love for it is soooo diminished, and my obsession has been far surpassed by SYTYCD. But still, new season! Crazy girls! Andre Leon Talley! Traumatic hair cutting! ...and TyraMail in TEXT SPEAK? Oh, oh sad.

More Books!

291. The Asylum Prophecies - Daniel Keynes (randomly, two things--(a) from the description I thought this was going to be way more scifi, and it was actually much more of an FBI/CIA/terrorists international thriller, and (b) I didn't realize until I got to the author bio at the end that it was written by the guy who wrote Flowers for Algernon. Very random and SO different)

In the library, with another booklist update--this is from a paper list I've got, but there's a huge stack of books on my dining room table, as a reminder of "I've been read, don't shelve me until you've written me down as read!" Perhaps not the neatest system. Erm.

204. Failure to Appear - JA Jance ( tldr )
250. Princess Ben - Catherine Gilbert Murdock (YA)

251. The Girl Who Played With Fire - Stieg Larsson

Woot! Ellen is judging? I'm not sure how I get that, much as I love seeing her dance on her own show, but...I'm looking forward to it nonetheless!

Also I am frowning at knowing that Kherington is in the new Fame movie. Ewww. Now I'm WAY more looking forward to Step Up 3D, since that has ex-SYTYCD dancers I actually LIKE.

Also...Katie Holmes is on the show tomorrow night? I knew this was coming but...still weird.

And on to the show! ( Read more... )

OK, a bit late...was a hectic week, and then even while relaxing Saturday, I just didn't have the energy or focus to watch. But that left me something to enjoy on Sunday night! And once I finish watching, I know I get to go read what others had to say, which is cool. But OTOH, I do like watching slightly closer to real time so my reactions are more in synch with other peoples'...

( top 12! )

Sad they don't get to do a MJ tribute, that would've been awesome.

While I'm returning these to the library...

196. The Brass Verdict - Michael Connelly
