Graphics Community

I came over here from the pace I shall not name, and I have brought with me my communities. one of them is [info]random_hotties.

This is a community for posting any and all graphics of your favorite famous people, from movies and tv, to music artists. I am currently copying a LOT of stuff over to it this week, so be sure to stop by and see what we have, and join if you like it enough!

UUs abound

I have happliy noted that there are many, many UUs here on Insane Journal (we'll leave off discussion of the appropriateness of that mixture...insanity, UUism...hehehe).
But, there lacks an asylum for us...
So I made that one, too.

Alien Nation fic - Stuffing Day

Title: Stuffing Day
Author's Name: [info]blackbird_song
Disclaimer: These characters don't belong to me, though my story does, and I don't own Los Angeles. No money is made, no disrespect intended. I'm simply participating in my culture by writing down my thoughts about this show in fictional form.
Warnings: None.
Ratings: General
Summary: Matt reflects on Christmases past and present.
Author's Note: Written for Ozsaur in the Yuletide 2008 Challenge. Set perhaps three years after the end of the series (including the TV movies). The Tenctonese Holiday adapted in this story was mentioned in passing in the fourth movie, The Enemy Within. I could not find any further info on it, so I've made everything up here. My apologies if I've done something wrong with the canon.

Many thanks to my husband for the beta.


Right this way...

something useful?

I added a third menu to the Tickle Therapy (tcl/tk Insane Journal client) interface called "Insert", with menu items to insert:
- an LJ cut
- an IJ user
- an IJ asylum
- a hyperlink

Now I can go to bed feeling like I've done something useful.

Hi!

I've got this cute bloggish layout on my InsaneJournal, and I'm a little puzzed - the layout looks great in Firefox, but in Explorer, it's really skewed. My journal is here.


Here's the code:






Any ideas as to why it's doing that? Is there a quick fix for this?

Many thanks in advance!

useless

I've done nothing intrinsically useful in several days, really.
I have had no new work come in at all yet this year...My business has gone all to hell.
This time a year ago I had just about forgotten what "sleep" meant, because I had been putting in 15 to 18 hour or longer days for all of 07, and it continued right up to about July of 08...but since then, I have less than half of what was once a monthly average for two or three year running...not good...The money has run out, and the work is not coming in.
There are several reasons for this:
1) The European Patent Commission decided that patents no longer need to be translated from French to English. Translating French patents was about 30 to 40% of my work from 05 to July of this year.
2) Banks, auto manufacturers, and everybody's uncle's dog going tits up.
3) Some of my regular clients simply no longer exist...

I went looking for a waiter job at Applebee's yesterday.
It's that bad.
I moved my office out of it's room into my living room, and am trying to rent the office out to get a roommate to help with the expenses.
Pretty soon I'm going to try to sell a kidney, or my virgin sphincter, to the highest bidder.
I have a child to feed.
I can't lose this apartment, either.
I was interpreting in Housing Court in a neighboring town just a couple of weeks ago.
There are thousands upon thousands of people in Connecticut being evicted.
Shelters are full to overflowing. People have no where to go.
I can't allow this to happen to my daughter. Not now. Not ever.
Clearly, this year will see changes.
In 08, my wife left me, my business fell apart, and my broker flushed 96% of my savings down the toilet.
I figure, what with the whole "wheel of fortune", I can't get too much lower before things start getting better...
So, anyway, I've done little of real worth...Okay, I went looking for a waiter job.
I showed the former office.new bedroom to a potential roommate.
I have one Brazilian psychology article to finish translating. I received it in November. I have about 3 hours worth of work left, and it's due a week from today, but I haven't even worked on that. I keep procrastinating. I have a pile of dishes to wash...I don't feel like washing dishes.
I haven't even painted anything in over a week, now, to tell the truth.
I've had a cold, but it's going away now.
I should do something useful. Things won't get any better if I sit around and wait for "God" to make it so...

New-ish!

I am Z. I've been out of the online-scene for many moons now, and I decided it was time to get back in and expand my social horizons. Plus I got tired of 'Work's Bitch' being my only hobby.

I can be crass, I can be bitchy, but I can also be caring and devoted. I like to give shit away (want a $5 gift card for tea? Lemme know, I have a buttload of them).

I like to make stuff by hand. I like to read and write, and I like to RP (I've found that Private story lines tend to be better) and I'm always open to new friends. I like taking pictures and I plan to try that 365 days of pictures thing. Don't worry, I'm polite and I'll keep it under a cut.

I'm into some weird shit and my beliefs are kind of out-there, but if you allow me mine, I'll allow you yours.

I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none. I'm a chef. I'm a musician. I'm an author. I'm a crazy son of a bitch and I'm an open ear.

My cat thinks I'm God. I'm not that narcissistic, but I just don't bother to correct him. Then again, he also thinks he's a dog and it trying to get me to play fetch while I type this.

I like things that make me think. I spend my down-time trying to learn something new or feeding the addiction du jour and I love the odd and obscure.

If I sound like someone you'd get along with, you're probably right. If I sound kind of stuck up, please forgive me, it's kind of weird writing up an advert to sell yourself with. I can also be found on AIM. Show me yours and I'll show you mine.

Oh yeah, and this is X-posted about and around.

el jay

LJ is assuring folks, much time after reports of their lay-offs, that they aren't going down the tubes, but just "restructuring".
I think that's what they call it in the corporate world when there's a hole in the boat and they're shovelling bucket-fulls of water over the rails with both hands. no?
In any case, I've decided that I just like it here, even though LJ does have some nice features that haven't shown up here yet, like post titles are links to the specific post, and the little previews when mousing over a link.
Do we have voice posts over here? Over there it's only for paid accts, which I have, but I haven't ponied up the $25 over here yet, so don't even know.
I like having a fresh start.
Also, on LJ I maintained two journals, which has become tiresome, playing two different roles, photodharma, the artist, photog, poet, philosopher guy, and tonytraductor, the translator, linguist, hacker guy. I feel like those who were friends on only one journal were only seeing a portion of who I am. I started to crosspost. I wondered if there were a way to consolidate or merge the accounts, and, to my knowledge, there isn't. I desperately wanted to be whole, to reunite these fractured parts of my online soul...
Here, I'm just [info]tonybaldwin. Just me. All whole, in all of my humble geeky artsy splendour...and I like it that way.
So, I'm going to stick around.
I just wish I could bring all of my favorite LJ friends over here.
So far, I have but one of my old LJ friends here, [info]gardenwaltz, which is co0l, but I want my other friends, too, to come over here, where it's less corporate, more friendly, and all so shiny and new-like. To get a clean start.
Well...that's enough drama and babbling, I suppose.
be gro0vy,
tony

TITLE: Devil May Cry 3 Code 1: Dante
AUTHOR: Suguro Chayamachi
CATEGORY: Graphic Novel
AGE GROUP: 16+
NO. OF PAGES: 149
COVER PRICE: $9.99
PUBLISHER: Tokyopop
PURCHASED FROM: Borders
OTHER BOOKS BY THIS AUTHOR: Code 2: Vergil, Togainu no Chi

I FOUND THIS BOOK BY: Being a fan of the video games
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO: A fan of the video games, anyone who reads graphic novels.
OVERALL RATING: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★



Summary: Dante is a demon slayer and bounty hunter with a demon haritage of his own that haunts him. He's currently unemployed--and bored to death. Opportunity knocks in th eform of a missing-child case, which his friend and manager, Enzo, offers him. But a four-million-dollar reward, an unexpected demon attack and a little girl named Alice all conspire to send Dante through the looking glass on a nightmarish adventure beyond his wildest imagination.

The art of this series is really great, and Dante's potty mouth makes it wonderful to read. Vergil's such an ass, which is more or less to be expected of him anyway. I do like how the manga goes into more specific detail about the opening of the seals and such than the game does.

In a laboratory run by Dr Fendelman, a twelve million-year-old skull is being examined, an artefact that glows with unearthly power. As death and destruction follow, the Doctor begins to think the unthinkable — the Fendahl, a nightmare horror from the Time Lords' own mythology, is about to awaken

but, but...

I don't understand why I can't fix posts that have xml issues.
Neither the web interface, nor logjam, nor my client, will allow me do edit certain posts, saying they have some xml issue...but how am I to repair them if I can't access them to edit them?

That's annoying...

I used to watch this when I was a kid. I don't if it came of TV or if I watched in on VHS... But I do know that the older I get, the more hilarious this cartoon gets. I still CAN'T believe it was banned. Tex Avery was a cartoon genius.
