PSA: Is anyone out there?

It's been my observation that LJ has been very quiet lately. Most of which seemed to happen during or after the whole hacking incident, which is understandable, many felt uneasy when the place was constantly shutting down and trying to repel the hackers who were causing so much trouble. I know some have migrated over to Dreamwidth or Tumblr because of that, however these days it feels like all my flist either aren't posting or just aren't online anymore, which might not be the case. It is summer hiatus, after all, and I know most of you have lives outside of the online world. But still, it feels like I'm kind of alone on here and that it makes me sad.

So please, my lovely flist, let me know that you're still alive and that you haven't gone anywhere, even if you just lurk/read and don't usually comment. I just want to know who is still alive out there in 'ole LJland so that I don't feel abandoned get worried.

LOOK, I CAN ACTUALLY UPDATE!

++ LiveJournal seems to be underneath more DDOS attacks, this has been the second major hit the site has faced within a week, hence why they have been abruptly not loading properly for anyone that has been wondering. I'm hoping they can get this situation properly fixed so there aren't anymore attacks, because I'll be honest....I would be devastated if this site was to be down indefinitely. I would miss you all sfm, like for real. My heart would be broken. :( lol @ my life being all dependent on ELJAY. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU GOT UNTIL IT'S GONE, BBS. *clings to you all*

++ UPLIFTING NEWS HOWEVER! For or all you Dean/Castiel shippers out there: "Some Hunters Marry Pretty Boy Angels. Get Over It." T-Shirt which you can purchase now. \O/

++ I am majorly disappointed that no store anywhere (in my area) carries the Sucker Punch soundtrack. I mean yeah, I have it on my computer but I would also like the purchase it for real, physically in my hands as I walk out of the store and play it in my car as I'm driving home. Oh well, that is what Amazon is for I suppose. Still, I pretty much sadfaced after each place I went to the other day and I left empty-handed. ;__;

++ Currently in love with this song right now. Catchy and upbeat with a positive message. Everyone needs to hear it. If you're feeling down or just need something to get through your day, listen to this song. ♥

Not cool, LJ.

So. LiveJournal decided that they are no longer accepting "/" in their tags, which means everything in the tagging system for pairings and others including the forwardslash is completely nonfunctional, thus making things even harder to identify and locate.

NOT COOL ELJAY, NOT COOL AT ALL. FIX THIS ASAP OR FEEL THE WRATH OF MANY USERS.

*silently fumes at douchenozzles responsible*

ETA: It seems like this was an unintentional fluke and they are currently working on fixing it, so problem somewhat averted. Although many of the new features added seem to be of much annoyance, and rightfully so. Sometimes when they add something new it can be something I don't care for so I ignore it, but it seems like they keep adding new stuff that isn't really necessary and without options of turning it off and yeah, it's understandably annoying.

I'M FEELING THE LOVE, U GUISE.

++ First of all, this V-Gift Snowflake Cookie sending thing, which is of no charge whatsoever? THE BESTEST THING EVER CREATED! Of course it's only for the holidays thus limited time offer, but dammit it's made so many people happy just to get acknowledged and have that kind of love from their lj-friends. This is why I love this time of the year. Spreading the love all over the place. It's contagious. THANK YOU EVERYONE! SERIOUSLY, SO MUCH LOVE I'M ABOUT TO BURST! ♥

++ SciFi's Alice premiered this evening, the first part, and it is SO FRAKKING GOOD YOU GUISE, OMG. Of course it would be good, it was developed by the people that did Tin Man which was awesome in itself so this was definitely going to be amazing, too. Plus, I really enjoy different takes on these kinds of stories, of the Alice in Wonderland story and recreating an entire universe based around it, just like with what they did with Wizard of Oz for Tin Man. A futuristic alternate universe kind of fairytale, with its own legends and mythology. I love it. I'll have more thoughts once the miniseries is all wrapped up by tomorrow night.

And...I kinda ship Alice/Hatter. Oh come on, you all agree with me, don't lie. The chemistry and UST is scorching, like whoa. And Hatter is quite hot, not gonna lie. *g*

++ Is it pathetic of me of actually waiting for SciFi to air a freaking preview for Stonehenge Apocalypse? Between the awesome Caprica previews, I am not ashamed in saying that I was waiting for them to show at least something. WHEN IS IT COMING OUT?! I WANT AND NEED MY MISHA COLLINS FIX NOW, DAMMIT! IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT MISHA MUST BE ON EVERYTHING ON DEMAND, RIGHT NOW.

A post, on Friday? OMG!

Much happened today, I was really busy and preoccupied and wasn't online much because of it. You all know my feelings about this whole "content strike" business, as quite obviously I'm not partaking in it. For those that did, good for you for believing in wanting to do something. And that's all I'm going to say about that topic, since everyone's probably tired of hearing about it. Besides it's over for most people anyway, so whatever.

Okay, I am completely consumed with the BSG hype that's going on so I figured I do a theories post about it. Or rather, what I believe might happen come season four. I know no further spoilers than what's been shown from the previews and clips that's been released.

I've been to Earth, and I'm going to take us there. )

Sorry if none of those made any kind of sense that's logical or coherent! I've been having thinky-thoughts for a long while and I needed to get them out there. Hee.

It also appears that Caprica, the prequel series, has been greenlit and is ready to go. They say it's going to be much different than BSG, but that's to be expected naturally. I'm just happy there's to be more expansion of this universe that I've grown to love and appreciate, and I have faith that RDM and David Eick will create a show that, while different, can please viewers as it goes fifty years prior. Either way, yay!

Oy, the drama.

All this LJ strike drama is giving me a headache. This whole thing is ridiculous. I have nothing against those who want to do something in regards to SUP's actions, and I understand their frustrations and intentions with this, however this "one day strike" business is just silly and pointless. It's not going to accomplish anything other than it being another one of those slow days on LJ. Many are going to not post, while many others are. No big difference is going to be made. If you want an effective strategy to fight for something, try contacting those in charge by writing well-written angry letters describing the problem instead of boycotting one day. Or, y'know, accept the changes even if it sucks and live with the fact that these new owners are going to do what they will because it is their business now and businesses have to make sacrifices for more profits. Even if they're shitty at it.

I'm tired and cranky, and I'm going to be frank about this: I won't be participating. I'm not leaving LiveJournal. I'm going to post Friday if I want to, and if anyone has a problem with that can shove it. M'kays?

Sidenote: I don't mean to disrespect those who are participating, if that's what you want you have every right to. I'm just in a ranty mood because all this wank and whining has exploded and it's driving me absolutely mad and I don't want to be called a "traitor" or whatever just because I'm not following suit with everyone else.

Adding my voice to the masses.

Word in recent LJ News updates is that Basic Accounts are no longer an option as of yesterday, March 12th. I have already voiced my displeased opinions with others who've posted about it, and while I am, along with others, are in the clear what concerns me about this whole ordeal is that this wasn't announced before yesterday nor was it even officially announced at all. And I think, being users of this particular site, the new owners should respect that even if they don't deem it "important" for all users it should at least be mentioned so everyone can know what's coming before it actually happens. Hell, even Brad the founder of LiveJournal is not impressed with this change that even he didn't want to happen, and which his concerns are basically being ignored by the advisory board that he is a member of.

This is going to raise a whole lot of uproar, as it already has in the short timespan of several hours now. Let's just hope SUP listens and take into consideration to their customer's complaints, because while I understand it's a business and they've done stuff like this before and this won't be the last stunt they'll pull there are certain responsibilities on their side to those who use their site.

But to take one's mind off of this recent drama, I present to you: ACHMED THE DEAD TERRORIST! I was literally LOLing at this for the longest time the other night after watching that, so hilarious.

O Hai LJ, Where U Be At?

In the midst of the power outage that effected LJ/Six Apart operations, while I busied myself with other things/chores I'm glad that LiveJournal has returned. Fwee.

So I've been watching CSI on SpikeTV, because nothing else interesting is on and I'm waiting for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to come on. So far I've seen guest-appearances by Zachary Quinto, Tricia Helfer, Mark Sheppard, and Ian Somerhalder, all three episodes back-to-back. Quite a treat, actually. And I find it interesting that Mark and Tricia have worked before, in this as well as in the third season of BSG. Yes, I like making those little connections of fandoms colliding. I am easily amused and entertained by those notions, so sue me. This makes me really want Zachary and Tricia to work together giving me ideas for Sylar/Six sexiness. Okay, I'll stop now.

After seeing those previews for the movie I Know Who Killed Me, it does look mildly intriguing. However, I'm certainly not rushing to a theater to see it. Perhaps if they'd gotten a different lead actress instead of Lohan I would feel more interested. But I don't want to waste my money on that trainwreck.

Dude, you're gettin' an upgrade!

Whoa, holy LJ mainpage makeover Batman. It's certainly...interesting. Convenient yet, weird. I like that I can see who's birthday is arriving next, though.

I should probably place this stuff in my college posts, but it's very brief and I don't feel like separating it from everything else. Concerning this summer, I had decided some time ago after thinking it through that I wasn't going to take any summer classes despite wanting to get ahead of myself in certain subjects (i.e. mathematics). I'm also considering taking online courses for the fall semester as a possible alternative so I can deal with things happening in my life right now. Which is a nice option so I don't have to deal with the stresses of having to attend classes, I can just do it from home and still keep myself from having a complete meltdown by overworking.

In other news that isn't college-related, I'm listening to the cast commentaries for the Heroes episodes, and I have to say they are absolutely hilarious, and very informative too. I hope these make it onto the DVDs, or as extras or something. This is what makes this fandom so great is not only is it just purely amazing, but the cast and crew are entirely invested in the show along with the fans. I just think that's great, a very rare gem to find these days.

ETA: Dude, LJ, I know you're undergoing changing things on the site and whatever, but not giving me comment notifications? Not cool.

While I should be going to bed...

Frakking yeah is right: Battlestar Galactica is scheduled for renewal of a fourth season. Totally exciting, of course there was hardly any doubt on my part about it getting another season. The series is phenomenal, and with what's being revealing this season it's completely top-notch and worthwhile television. Oh yes, there are spoilers in the article if you scrow downward, but they also warn you in bold text too, so be cautious while reading.

Also, am I seriously the only one that doesn't mind the LJ Valentine's layout? I think it's cute, personally speaking. Not to everyone's tastes I understand, but it's the thought behind it that counts.

Trigger Happy Wednesday (for the most part)

Holy frak, LJ changed its posting format for updating. It's all, strangely new and wonked out. I don't know how I'll get used to it, but they need to do somethig with how it's formatted, it's annoying how it's stretched all over the place.

Battlestar Galactica 3.10 - 'Passage' Episode Thoughts )

Oh, and in other fandom news, it seems that our little Heroes fandom has grown up in the land of wank! I have to say though, the argument over Zach's sexuality is kind of a moot point, isn't it? In my view, whether it was intended or not given from the hinted clues and statements from the network, I stand by my opinion that he's clearly bisexual. Case closed, now let's move on with speculating about the storylines of the show, shall we?

Pretties of the Weekend

I. So, as I mentioned before LiveJournal's been going through some new changes with features, in case anyone hasn't noticed. One in particular hover-menus over userpic icons, which most people aren't thrilled about having. If you're displeased with this feature, as I was, then you can go to the Viewing Options, turn it off, and voilĂ ! Problem is solved.

II. Why is it that the House fandom mainly attracts the most amount of trolls and immature twats? It's just too weird.

III. Since it's been announced on the official website and other sources, Medium will be premiering it's third season on Wednesdays, starting November 15th. This is primarily due to the new series, Kidnapped, which has been doing poorly, has been moved to Saturdays. Thankfully, NBC had taken the wise decision of allowing Medium to be boosted up in its season three premiere date, as it was originally supposed to have been midseason sometime in January. This is fantastic news to hear! All my shows are returning! All there is now is Psych, which will be returning midseason.

IV. Very interesting. I spotted the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) on Poirot earlier today, in the episode "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe". It's funny because I've seen that episode numerous of times, and I just realized it was him. Huh.

V. All new Heroes tomorrow. Yay!

When Hell freezes over, Satan has an ice-skating party!

Ah, happy Friday the 13th everyone, whether or not it's been the luckiest or unluckiest day of the week.

Okay, so LiveJournal's been making itself up with some new features. I sometimes wonder if these changes are for the better or worse for the site in general. The LJTalk is okay, not something I plan on doing anytime soon, but it's optional since one has to download the feature in order to access it. However, the one newest feature that's quickly becoming a pet peeve is those little information popups whenever you have your mouse arrow hover over someone's username headpic. Not only is it pointless, but slow things down. There really should be an optional change whether a user wants that feature or not, because it's really starting to bug the hell out of me.

New episode of Battlestar Galactica tonight. Plus Anthony Stewart Head will be on the episode of Doctor Who, showing before BSG. This just makes my night so much better with this lineup!

I may be getting addicted to Prison Break, as well.
