Apollymi ::||:: Dark Passion Play

Okay, most of the weekend, I did my updating over at Thoughts of a Struggling Writer whilst squeaky the great updated IJ. It seems to be mostly back, even if I am still missing a few icons. I'll be glad when the site is completely back up.

Doc and I went to see Made of Honor (which I say of the good is, Kevin McKidd and the beginning, pretty much until Scotland) and Iron Man (which I would have to find the bads, because honestly this was one of Marvel's better comic adaptations). We got 2 weeks worth of laundry done, watched a few too many movies, ... and did a lot of reading.

We did not get to vacuuming or cleaning the counters. Whoops.

This week: nothing much planned, other than writing and trying to survive the day job. Both Doc's and my stimulus checks from the government should be arriving this week, as well as my check from Seven Seas Manga, so soon I'll be back in good financial standing.

But now, it's time to get ready for work.

Ciao, my freaky darlings.

Well, I'm obviously back in Florida. I'm still not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, I had to come back to earn money. On the other hand, my sister can be a lazy mofo and not stay at a job more than two months. Why can't I? But on the other hand, I know money is good and, if I want to continue to have money and spend money, I can't be like my sister and steal, beg, and borrow money -- I have to earn it. But I really want to be at home or at my grandparents' right now.

This is a dilemma.

In other news, the wank that never ends has made CNN.com. Yep, CNN, late as usual. We've been following it on Fandom Wank since November. Because Cleolinda is cool like that.

I don't know about LJ. I'm still debating on LJ. I might do a post in the next week or two, and determine how much I want to stay there based on said post's responses. In other words, leave it in the hands of the LJ FList. Maybe with a pretty gigantic Friends Cut, I could be persuaded to return on a more full time basis. There is a great deal of venom that circulates that list. Not like here. Here, we have kitties.

Since I was at the grandparents' having fun and stuff all weekend, I got no writing done. In fact, I barely got any reading done. I barely finished Dead Beat, but now I'm finally started on Proven Guilty. My gods, that book is HUGE. Maybe it'll actually take me a bit to finish it.

And I've been typing for a bit over an hour (I keep getting distracted), so I'm going to shut up and bugger off now.

Ciao!

So the verdict on the previous post is this:

Having more than one account does indeed solve the login issue. Clearing all the cookies from my cache does clear up the site scheme problem. Those two things are good and fixed. Hurray!!!

However, the tag problem does not resolve itself. On the Edit Tags page, all tags still have to be manually typed in, instead of being able to click on them on the list and have them select and save. Trying to do this leaves no tags selected. Tags must be manually typed in.

On the other hand, I do now have my back-up journals transferred over here now.
symfora - For job applications and moving news (always Friends Locked)
katherinebell - For writing and publishing news (will probably always be Public)
hekate - Not sure what this will be for, but it was free and I snagged it (no idea on visibility status yet)

Symfora is the only one with content (ported over from LiveJournal), but the others should have something on them soon.

This is turning into a right pain. At least the Permanent Accounts were fairly cheap.

The long and short of it is, InsaneJournal keeps losing information. I can't save my password, because if I do, then it'll default to this weird entry style, where I have to post things privately, then go back and edit the entry to how it's supposed to be. Sucks if I want to post to a comm. So I can't have Firefox save my password. ~.~

The tags will not selected from their drop down menu on the Edit Tags page. Each tag has to be typed in manually.

But the one that takes the cake is that my site scheme keeps changing from WorkSafe Sidebar to New Tweak.

I'm going to try completely clearing out my cookies and see if that will help. Here's hoping.

(And apparently another fix for the log-in issue is to create a second account. The possibilities of porting Symfora and Antania over here is worth considering.)

I still love IJ, though.

Okay, after a lot of debate, I've decided to upgrade my account here from free to Permanent before they take the option away in March.

I'm still digging my new layout, even if it's all green. Actually two of my three journals are green right now: my Tin Man layout on Live Journal and this one. Journal Fen is still blue, for a while, till I find a layout in green that I like.

And I don't even like green!

Lots to do today: go by the GMC dealership and pick up my touch-up pens for my car; go by Sam's Club and get some of our groceries and a new box of my contacts; go by the Parkway Wal-Mart or the Thomasville Road Wal-Mart and get groceries; maybe go by Books-A-Million or Borders and see if either of them have the Sandra Hill books I'm missing, as well as a copy of the 2008 Writer's Market book for less than the cost of my (eventually slightly possible) firstborn child; and WRITE.

I did pretty well last night and got about 1800 words written after I got home, plus the 1000 I did whilst I was still at Grandmother's, for a total of a little over 2800 words. I need to do another day like that, preferably without the staying up till nearly 1 a.m., but I already know I can do that if needs be. I'm running so far behind that it isn't even funny. If I keep writing over 2200 words a day, I might be caught by the end of the week, but the more I write per day over that, the closer I'll be to caught up and the sooner.

So, errands then writing. Game plan.

Okay, till all this brouhaha started on LiveJournal... again. Can't say for certain how often this will be used since I have the Caleida and GreatestJournal as well, but we'll see.
