The Veteran
You scored 90%!
|
You've picked up the majority of the classic rock basics. You probably
have a classic rock collection and can sing along with most of the
songs on your local radio station.
This is not the highest score, but it is arguably the best: that subtle combination of impressive knowledge and not being a pretentious geek.

...I decided to go with Blogger for the main blog. I'll keep this one around so I can keep commenting on all your guys' journals. Anyway, just useless FYI. Hope everyone's enjoying their Saturday! |

Well, since I never backed up my index or template for the Blue Lemur blog, it looks like it's gone. I can still access the control panel, so all those posts can be retrieved, and copied elsewhere.
I'm just not sure if I should use this as my main blog again, upgrade it to a paid account, use my inactive blogger account, or go somewhere else. Yes, this subject is fascinating only to me! Anyway, I'll make a decision this weekend.
Not much going on, aside from having a sort of tough day at work, but that's just the way it goes. |

Cary Grant
You scored 16% Tough, 19% Roguish, 33% Friendly, and 33% Charming! |
You are the epitome of charm and style, the smooth operator who steals
the show with your sophisticated wit, quiet confidence and flirty sense
of humor. You are able to catch any woman you want just by flashing
that disarming smile, even if you're flashing it at a kindly aunt or
engaging child at the time. When you walk into a room, women are
instantly intrigued and even the men are impressed, but you're too nice
a guy to steal anyone else's girl...unless the guy deserves it. You're
stylish, yes, but you can also be a little bit nutty. However, you're
primarily seen as dashing, suave and romantic. Your co-stars include
Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace Kelly, stylish women with
a sense of fun.

Just got this info from the marvelous and talented ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) mkhobson, where uppityliberal will donate $5 to Red Cross Hurricane Relief for everyone linking to the journal. (It was originally another done by dude, but he got all the pledges he needed, so Uppity Liberal is taking up the slack.)
Just link to him, then comment in his post that you linked:

Looks like the Blue Lemur domain got attacked by "black hat" hackers, and my main blog may be finito. Not sure what course of action to take now. I like the livejournal platform, especially since it's exploded in popularity around the time I actually stopped using it regularly. lol. But I also like having vertical links in the Typepad-y, Blogger-y sort of way. If it really is hosed, I'll have to let a bunch of folks know to de-link....
Anyway, I'm mainly revising a major project right now, a labor of love. I hope to have it done very soon. Aiming for Sunday. While I've been revising, I've been listening to the new Garbage album, Bleed Like Me like all the damn time. The album helped me reclaim my love for the band, and seeing them in concert last Saturday turned it into a raging exercise in obsession. Seriously, the album fraking blisters and they were absolutely incredible in concert, playing my anthem, "Only Happen When It Rains" so I got to headbang for the first time in, oh, a decade.
Eh, but then this is all just idle talk. Life is going well for a person when the only thing you've lost is a freaking blog. I've been indebted to folks like my homeboy douglain for his coverage of the hurricane aftermath. I donated some money, and will donate some books, but there's that middle-class guilt. Lucius Shepard wrote this really beautiful and shattering passage about how the hurricane just exposes the truth about this society: Here
I mean, that just about says it all. That sort of encapsulates why I've always had a hard time blogging: what do I have to complain about? I mean, I may get pissed about having to work for someone else, doing something I don't really want to do and not even get paid holidays, but so fucking what? A family just lost their house and their city. Before the hurricane hit, I blogged about a woman in town, Lisa Shannon, and how she was trying to raise awareness about the genocide in the Congo. 4 million people dead in 6 years. My insignifcant crap pales next to that. So I don't know. Not having a full online "home" is probably a good thing for a bit. I'm just sorry for all of you in the Southeast. It sounds so fucking lame, but my thoughts really are with you, and you have my eternal admiration for weathering this. You're true heroes and heroines. |

Hmm, something is wrong with ye olde Blue Lemur site. 'Tis showing an error page. If this becomes a terminal condition, I'll have to migrate back to livejournal, or use my dormant blogspot site. I've been thinking about "going dark" for awhile anyway. For a lot of reasons, which I'll go into (lucky you!!) later on, when or if Blue Lemur comes back.
I'll update Doug-style:
Writing: I have a good rough ten pages/3,000 words done on a new story. I cut 1600 words out of the story I used to call Story 5, and which is titled, "And if it harm none ..." I'm also working on one of them funny mimetic-style story dealymabobbers. Yes though I have no trace of Southern to my accent at all, I sometimes like to say dealymabobber like a true Oklahoman.
Wedding: We met with our planner today, and for me, the wedding is transmogrifying from frightening and nervewracking to fun and exciting.
Work: After a blissful week of showing up to work and not actually having a lot of stuff to do (my bosses were on vacation), things will return to their usual nose + grindstone. Or as nose + grindstone as one can get in the land of business consulting.
Etc.: I'm becoming enamored of modern architecture, and acquiring a taste for shows like 'Househunters.' It must be dementia.
Hope all the rest of you are having a good Sunday! |

Well it's obviously been awhile since I wrote in this journal. And I've had quite a few additions to Ye Olde Friends List (TM). So I wave to you all!
My main journal will remain this weblog ... but I'll use this one from time to time.
In reading news, I'm about a hundred pages into William Gibson's All Tomorrow's Parties, and enjoying it greatly. In writing news, still working on the novel mentioned in past entries, and some new stories. Onward, and upward! |

I went home to Oklahoma for a couple of weeks to see my sister get married, but I'm back now. It was a lot of fun, but I'm still a bit tired from it.
I bought, and read Caitlin Kiernan's new novel, Murder of Angels while there.
I know Ben is not a huge fan of her previous work, but I think Angela and Peter would dig the book. Her prose style is excellent, and she knows how to construct a plot. I'm trying not to say too many "reviewy" things about it, because I'm mulling writing a review of it. But suffice to say, I recommend it highly.
All is well on this end. Just need to write more, and pick a new book to read.... |
