When you came into this world, you were someone else's inconvenience.
When you first started sleeping on my doorstep, you became an unexpected, infested mess with which I didn't know what to do.
When you looked into my eyes, you became a reminder of the 18-year old dog I had just painfully lost to a failed liver--a dog who, like you, had also shown up on my doorstep many years before.
When you decided to stay, and insisted on this point, you became my responsibility.

Hard Candy (2005)

Occasionally there is an artistic film which slips through the cracks--be it through poor marketing, competing release times, or simply because it does--that really deserves attention. If this movie received much notice and acclaim outside of Sundance (and the occasional horror community, where it is awkwardly placed as it is not a horror film by traditional terms), or even vocal disapproval, then I was oblivious.

My FatDog

!!! This runs on about six printed pages. I don't expect any of you to read the whole thing, and wouldn't be offended if you skip it completely. I at least owe an update, and so to spare you from reading my brain dump, I will just state here that I think my dog is going to live. And now, for the brain dump. !!!

In 2000 a stray dog showed up to my door. He was in terrible shape, covered in mud and his ears so full of ticks that he couldn't hear. He was tender to the touch and very hungry. He wasn't the youngest thing on the block, either. But I took him in and have loved him since. He is now probably 15-20 pounds heavier...my tubby old puppy. That is your backstory. Now to today.

I thought I would expand the reach of my /. friend tmasssey's journal entry by reposting it here, since I figure one of you probably have some relevant experience with GPS solutions similar to the one desired here.

Respond in the original entry, please.

From the entry:

...of ponies, I like the new April Fool's Day look. (Assuming that the splashes of green and lack of titles on Amigos pages were fixed.) But I am weird like that.

It is certainly nicer-looking than some of the other theme pages.

Can we keep it as an option? Perhaps ponies.slashdot.org? :)

It's that time again. Just like last time, I ask you:

Tell me something good.

Preference is that you tell me something good in your life, but if you want to just say something good in general, that is fine as well. I like to read about the good going on in people's lives.

Hello everyone. How are you? I am great. I also have a lot to say, so if you aren't looking to read a lot, I suggest you skim through the subject headings for just those things that interest you, or skip this entry entirely. This entry is several pages long (four, I believe, actually) and so I apologize for the length; were this livejournal I would have used the cut feature.

TOPIC: They Clean Up My Messes and Call Me Sir (or Ma'am)

Does anyone reading this still play Nationstates? I have a region that could use some new members.
(Yeah, yeah. Call it lame, but the game takes me a minute to play, and it's not every day that one can safely refer to a populace as "my little playthings," Ms. Dragon excepted)

Hi Hi!

I am posting in "Plain Old Text" (as I have for ages.)
I can still use HTML, despite selecting "Plain Old Text," and it will still display properly in Firefox (and I imagine every other browser.)
