Aug. 17th, 2010 03:58 pmBefore I get to the obligatory talking about myself: Things that confuse me about this (I would say NSFW) True Blood Rolling Stone cover:
- why did anyone think that was a good idea
- why does ASkars have hair that just walked off a Disney teen show set?
- does that count as a vampire party foul, like when you waste booze by tipping it over by accident?
- no really, why did anyone think that was a good idea?
I spend a lot of time playing solitaire. I used to play with actual cards, and when I was in high school, my dad and I developed something of an addiction to Spider Solitaire whenever it was that they added it to Windows. When I was stuck in an office with too much free time, I started working my way through FreeCell games, by number. When I felt like I needed an extra challenge, I'd try to win while uncovering the aces in order, spade-heart-club-diamond. If that was impossible for some reason, I'd do diamond-club-heart-spade.
I bought a solitaire app for my phone, and I've been working my way through the games. I've beaten all but two of the 30 "skill" varieties in the past couple days. There are still 63 other games that are either "balanced" or "luck" left after that.
A week or more ago, LJ announced the option for people deleting their accounts to also delete their entries in communities and/or their comments posted. The part of me that says users should have tools to manage (including removal of) their content likes it, but I just saw someone on Latest Things post that they'd deleted their journal and all their entries in communities, by way of breaking up with fandom, and that made me sad. Not quite sad enough to start saving copies of stories rather than bookmarking, but I sort of suck at bookmarking, too.
I don't know that I could do that, click a button or three and make everything disappear. I keep everything, for serious, until I am absolutely positive that I will have no use for it in the future, and even then I give things away rather than throw them out. We're talking borderline Hoarders territory, only balanced by the fact that I very rarely buy things.
Sort-of-related: The two other units in my building both have two occupants, but they routinely produce 3-4 times as much trash as I do in a week. I seriously don't understand how. My only idea is that they eat a lot of take-out, and don't finish most of it.
From the memery the other day: Top five films that cheer me up. I'm still thinking about the other question, and it'll probably get its own entry by the time I'm done circling it. Feel free to ask me something if you missed it the first time around.
