I think I'm going to be leaving LJ for awhile.
This isn't in response to any problem or drama, online or personal. I just want to de-clutter a little bit, and get rid of some things that aren't working. I never did with LJ what I'd hoped to do- create an actual blog- and therefore LJ hasn't turned out to do for me what I'd hoped it would. I may revisit it down the road, if I ever have the time or the mental focus to devote to it.
I'm logging off a few other sites as well, but I can still be found on Flickr, Twitter, and via email, so I'm not disappearing completely. Those of you I know here, I know elsewhere too, so nothing's changing there. Thanks, y'all! It was fun.
The part of the video that starts at about 1:10 makes me incredibly happy. :)

weebull . I only know of ONE song with my name in the title, but at least it's a bad-ass song:There are older versions of this song, of course, but Nick Cave OWNS it.
Flickr user On The Set has built miniature replicas of classic (and some not-so-classic) sitcoms. These are wonderful. Ooh, and even game shows!
- 10:46 That American ship captain being held by pirates tried to escape last night. Good for him! You go, boy! #
- 12:18 Just broke down & bought Reese's cups from the vending machine. Thanks a lot, @Valette #

- 19:40 Wow, suddenly it's a MONSOON outside. #
- 19:52 @VideoNasty You're on the JGB mailing list, too! How funny that we're apparently on two of the same completely unrelated forums. #
- 22:37 My mozy.com backup finally passed 50%. At this rate, I'll be bulletproof by June. #
The bug is just so... sinister.
I also love how they've pulled down all the blues and greens, so that everything is just gray or red. Nice.
I haven't seen the bastardized studio edit of the film, which comes with this set, but as an editor, I can't wait to see it. Editing really DOES shape a story, and I think it's fascinating to get to see a movie classic in a bastardized form like this.
I do wish I could get the American version of this movie on DVD, though, if only for the scene where Lowry sees his mother being prepped for plastic surgery, after the doctor stretches her skin and paints in the lines, wheels her around, and Sam exclaims, "My god, it works!" I can't imagine why Gilliam left that out of the final version, because it always cracked me the hell up.

- 04:48 My alarm clock thinks the time changed this weekend, and woke me up an hour early today. Hilarious. *groan* #
- 06:16 @arratik Actually, my clock is several years out of date regarding DST. #
- 06:18 Listened to John Cale on the train ride into work. Am now walking around humming "Guts," which is both wrong & hilarious. #

- 15:32 Heard on NPR: "Google estimates that 94% of all email traffic is spam." Insane. #
My pics from the trip seem sort of random and jumbled, but then, the trip felt that way, too. There's so much sensory overload in a place like Vegas, I find myself processing it for weeks afterwards.
