Blogiversary, etc.
2007-04-08 20:15It's three years today since my LiveJournal account went online. I haven't been posting continuously for that long; in fact there was a period of over a year when I didn't post at all. I began posting regularly about one year ago.
It's been quite a weekend. There is some good news, but that will have to wait for another post. Also, I saw Grindhouse last night, and ... wow! That movie might get its own post too. The soundtrack for both segments - "Planet Terror" and "Death Proof" - is phenomenal. Robert Rodriguez composed the pounding PT theme himself, proving once again that a Latino with a guitar can be very dangerous indeed.
(Side note: Angelo Badalamenti, who composed the score for "Mulholland Drive" - one of my all-time favorite films - also appeared in MD, as one of the Castigliani brothers.)
Passover is almost past and over, yay! Back to croissants with my coffee and beer with my ... er, beer, soon.

kefiraahava, just learned of the passing of a member of the LJ community.
Also, a familiar TV figure has passed on.

Around and about.
2007-02-28 06:02So I got up at my usual 5am after getting to sleep at about 1am. But I slept about an hour earlier in the evening yesterday. So I should get through the day all right.
Nothing quite like getting all your bills paid at 1 in the morning!
The new job is going better than I first thought it would, and the work day generally goes pretty quickly. They let you wear headphones on the job, which is nice, and it allows me to study my Arabic and Farsi while working.
Going to finally, really and truly, finish writing that new chapter to The Queen's Courtesan today. I'm taking my writing pad on my coffee breaks.

I've been getting traffic on the Stephanie tribute site, which is immensely gratifying.

Finished editing and tagging all my old entries.

stilken's comment got me to thinking about the intersections between my LJ life and the rest of my-life-in-the-world. More later .....

stilken's comment got me to thinking about the intersections between my LJ life and the rest of my-life-in-the-world. More later .....And because I have no life, I've just gone and updated the tags from my last year's worth or so of entries. Every post now has at least one tag.
"Random Trivia" is just what it sounds like, a catch-all for updates, anecdotes, and so forth.
"Life" tends to include posts that are a little more introspective.
Posts relating to a certain person are now tagged with the inital letter of that certain person's name. (It falls somewhere between "F" and "H" in the alphabet.)
Current events (international and domestic) are under "World", except for Iran which gets its own tag. Jewish-related stuff is under "Hebraica". Obituaries and memorials are under "STGM" ... if you're a Latin geek you can probably figure out the abbreviation.
"Friends" refers to friends in general, LJ and non-LJ alike. "In Pro Per" (more Latin!) is for those all-too-rare occasions when I get to meet LJ friends in person. And TNG ... well, TNG needs no introduction.
I've also modified the visibility on a few old posts, generally in the direction of more openness. As you know from my userinfo, I like to write open posts as much as possible and I'll only friendslock when the stuff is unusually personal, or when another person's privacy is involved.
