Love is a word that is constantly heard,
Hate is a word that is not.
Love, I am told, is more precious than gold.
Love, I have read, is hot.
But hate is the verb that to me is superb,
And Love but a drug on the mart.
Any kiddie in school can love like a fool,
But Hating, my boy, is an Art.

"You arrogant, self sufficient bastard."

...I do not think this word means what you think it means.

I'm having another one of those days where everything seems beautiful and I'm soppily in love with the world.

the shapes of cirrus clouds are stunning

and the cold, straight line of a slightly rusting lamppost

and the wind tangling my hair seems affectionate rather than annoying

and the light bouncing off the cold, dark grey asphalt of the parking garage floor lights up every white California license plate with its own inner glow.

advancements in post filtering

the_lj_herald claims:

"Users will be be able to filter their entries according to their security settings by appending the argument security=friends, security=public, security=friends or security=customgroupname to their journal URLs. Style System 1 users will see filtered pages in the style that is used to display their tag pages and not in their own styles."

YES FINALLY

When this is implemented I will be thrilled. I have wanted this feature forever, the ability to see what posts I posted within a certain filter. Now that I actually use tags, if I am careful to tag entries as I make posts to custom filters, I can use that to gain sort of the same effect, but, for example, I don't tag my posts locked only to friends-in-general as "friends", so I don't currently have an easy way to display only those posts when looking at my own journal. Security=public will be useful too -- right now what I have to do if I want to see what my journal looks like to someone I don't have friended is to either log out, or open Internet Explorer (where I am never logged in anyway).

yaytastic!

Some more messing around with walking while taking relatively long exposures (~.5 second).

Some photographic equivalents of doodles. The one of the palm tree and the parking garage is actually with the "long exposures" ones, but I was trying to hold still while taking it rather than purposely moving. Of course, without a tripod, camera shake was inevitable, but at this size and with some sharpening it's not quite as visible. Also, it's not visible at thumbnail size, but the one out the window with clouds has some bizarre moire patterns from the window screen I was taking the picture through.

Last one. I have no idea what this sign was supposed to really mean. It was stuck to one of the pillars of the only "condemned" building on campus (i.e., there are signs which say "this structure is not built to seismic safety codes; enter at your own risk", and it is generally locked, disused, and full of junk, dust, and spiders).

I assume they mean that the scene is brief, but... yeah. lol.

this just in:

My mom: So get over it!
My dad: I'd like to get over it, but I can't climb the ladder.


Now you know where I get it from. ;)

Aaaa, aaa, aaa!

Besides nehalenia appreciating one of my ficlets/drabbles a little while back, I have now got a comment from mysduende re "Epitaph" which she specifically inspired, that she was pleased with it and moar plz. I can't possibly provide moar. I am blushing at the mere suggestion. I wish I was a real writer. (Is there a Blue Fairy in the house?)
