Round 35, Hour 2

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Did we all survive the transition to positive time? How about our word counts?

I've heard reports of one ironing injury and a universal take over bid by a horizontal race (or y'know, just me).

What's happening in your universes? This is my last hour, so it's now or never...until my next shift :P

I opened word documents and now I'm getting ready my lunch in the oven :D I'd say that's a little productive :D

I find lunch to be the most productive meal of the day, personally. Especially ones born of ovens.

I ate lasagna. WRITERLY LASAGNA.

My hand seems to be getting better, so I might try to finish ironing the kilt tonight. I've got 15 pleats left to iron. :D Then I can give back my mum's ironing board and actually walk in this room again! ;-)

And after that I'll probably go to bed, because I'm getting impressively dozy all of a sudden. I think it's all the extra exercise, lifting this flatiron so much. O_O

Lasagna yum! I made turkey lasagna for Thanksgiving yesterday. The recipe instructions for it were so easy.

Awesomeness about the hand feeling better. Good luck with the ironing.

...and the Writerly Italian restaurant is back in business.

Be sure to iron evenly between your hands, it'd be difficult to explain if you ended up with one really worked out bicep :P

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

Heh, my left arm actually doesn't have the coordination or strength necessary for this job, so I'm just ironing right-handed. Which is kind of a self-reinforcing problem, but... *shrugs* ;P

Everyone in my household has either a bad cold or the aftermath of a wisdom tooth extraction (er. Three colds, one tooth sufferer) so today has been... hazy. But I think I wrapped up the thing I was writing when we were deep in the negative hours. Probably going to post that and then contemplate what to do for the rest of the rush.

Also accomplished today: baked a second gluten-free, vegan apple cobbler because all the sick people just wanted to eat dessert all day.

Mmmm lots of cooking going on here, I might have to pull a stealthy midnight feast in honor of fic being written!

Bout to take something for this headache I have. It's probably left over from last night hassling with Photobucket (who wouldn't send me an email when I requested a password change), and having to go to an alternate imaging host in order to get a 20in20 in before the deadline.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

I've been caused many a headache by photobucket but I'm currently in 20in20 rehab. Worse case scenario, LJ still has the scrapbook idea. I haven't used it in years so I can't predict headacheyness but it definitely exists ;)

[juliet316]

I've sort of fallen off the 20in20 rehab wagon. I figured if the world ends in December then at least I've got some completed icon sets to show for it. ;-)

PB's whole site is in beta mode and it's a pain. I sent my first password reset request at 3:30am thereabouts and I still haven't recieved an email in my inbox.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm really hating the new one to be honest, I miss being able to hover for links, it saved so much time -.-

Did you try your spam folder, that's where mine usually end up?

[juliet316]

Yeah, it's also very very, uniformally astethic.

and yep every time. Not in inbox or spam folders.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Ugghh, verything's trying to be uniform these days, don't even get me started on LJ's new f-list =/

Huh that sucks, if you have a back up email you could try creating another one for temporary use (or as you said, try somewhere else). This is why I never willingly log out of anything. Ever.

[juliet316]

Yeah, the comment pages border on giving me a migraine enough as it is, I can't imagine the f-lists looking like that.

I hesitate to use an alternate PB for fear of the same thing happening to that one, especially as the beta model is almost impossible to work with. Sad thing is, I didn't log myself out of PB, somewhere along the line either my computer logged me out during a browser crash or PB did it. :-(

You haven't looked at (s)Crapbook lately? LJ "improved" it. Pretty much every feature it used to have has been stripped out and junked. I nearly gave up LJ for good when they killed it.

I tried the new PB interface for about ten minutes -- and found out that every one of my images had been randomly rearranged, and that the sort feature didn't work. Back to the old interface. Sent them a detailed complaint, got an answer saying "That's right, it doesn't work, it might never work, we don't know."

[juliet316]

When I sent a complaint about not getting a password reset I got an email (the only one I got and not the password reset I wanted), basically saying "please reply if you want to speak to a live representative; in the meantime please try our beta site."

Didn't want to deal with PB and make an alternate account, so I signed up for imgur instead of using my Tinypic account since A) it's owned by PB and B) it only has the capacity to upload only five icons at a time.

On second thought, I'm going to bed NOW. I'll finish the ironing in the morning.

*zzzzz* Good night, all! :D

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Night!
