Because I'm a miserable so and so at the moment...

Something that made me smile:


see more Political Pictures

I know I've read an "Obama is told about the Stargate" fic (which I'll have to post to storyfinders about if my Google-fu continues to fail me) ETA it's by ladycat777 and is here and is genius (thanks xparrot), and there's also hllangel's Obama meets Jack fic: Smooth Transitions. What else should he know about?

ETA: I'm also in love with the a-cappella version of Love it when you call (TERRIBLE recording, but you get the idea) that my wonderful husband put on a happy playlist for me. Just glorious :)

ETA2: He also put "Eye of the Tiger" on it, so of course all I can think of is this. Tears of laughter are definitely preferable.

Dreamwidth

[Um, this is flattering myself but stuff turns up in unexpected places so just in case: this post mentions fandom but is really about me, so please no link to metafandom, thanks.]

I know I've spammed everyone today, and I promise to be quieter tomorow, but with Dreamwidth going into open beta* tonight, I wanted to get this posted.

*BETA=not everything will work. Join the getting_started comm if you're not sure what's a bug and what's working just not in the way you expected

It occurs to me that I haven't actually done anything with my Dreamwidth account since I got it, save importing my entries. To be honest, the closed beta has been a little too buggy for me, with my complete lack of technical know-how. Things I want to do, like changing the style of my journal, don't really work yet, and things like setting up a properly organised place for my fic, I haven't had time for.

( Cut because I know there's folk who really don't care although they're missing the Yes, Prime Minister quote. )

I do know I'm biased though, because although my main interaction is here on LJ, it's not necessarily the stuff that's the most personally significant. That would be the postcards I sent a bunch of you from Morocco, or the stuffed animals I get through the post, or the hand-drawn cards, or the care packages, or the flailing email when I'm struggling to write or the favours you do me or the private messages or the arrangements to meet up or the disappointment that we can't or the secret projects we work on to reveal to the world later. They're the things that make the strongest impact on me, and they're not LJ-dependant. LJ facilitates them, but if everything goes dark over here, I still know where a heck of a lot of you live.

Actually, thanks to Google street view? I can see your house from here ;)
