Check out the new beta navigation system LJ is talking about launching and give 'em hell feedback. Myself, I think the organization is actually a lot better but the look and useability are crap.
It's been a while. Last week my car broke down while I was trying to get down to Boston, find a room, and go visit people (all within two days.) I ended up hitchhiking - which was a lot easier than I expected. The longest ride I got was with a band on a bus driving to play a show. They were very nice if a bit of a cliche and they dropped me off not five minutes walk from my friend's house. It was pretty sweet. Unfortunately I found out on Sunday that my car needs a new engine... which may cost on the order of $2500. So, I guess I may get good at the hitchhiking thing. :-\
Things I've done this week:
- Moved into my new digs
- Got lost multiple times in the city at night
- Ate lots of Chinese food (including noodles with something in it that made my mouth numb - the hell?)
- Had my first class at summer school
- Got wireless internet working... and if I'd known it was as easy as flipping a switch on my computer, I'd have done it ages ago.
- Due to that last, downloaded a bunch of vids and porn (I watched gay porn! For the first time in my life! Except for that time at the gay club in Quebec but I was trying not to watch it cuz I was there with my cousin.)
- Capped Boa vs. Python and made some icons. Am I the only one who noticed the slash potential in BvP? There may be picspam later on...
Also, I'm pimping the Classificathon. If you're interested at all in Classical (Greco-Roman) mythology/languages/culture/whatnot, you might like this. It's a multifandom ficathon for fanfic inspired by or related to such. To paraphrase the mods: Want to read a fic modeled on Ovid's Metamorphoses? A fic wherein Jack and Teal'c have to decline nouns? Request it. Have the Doctor and Rose go back to ancient Rome, Atlantis's translators suddenly translate into solely ancient Greek, Jim and Blair go undercover at a high-school certamen, compare Fraser's life to Pandora's, anything that is classical works. (A couple people have also requested historical RPF, if you're into that.)
Sign-ups have been extended until Sunday, July 2nd, and fics are due August 15th. Come on, you know you want to!
