Amezri's other journal space

I am super-bad at checking the email attached to my Livejournal account, so I always miss my v-gift notifications. Just wanted to post and say thanks to:

- springwoof for the gingerbread man

- forcryinoutloud for the gingerbread, pumpkin cookie, panda, and bronze lj pencil.

<3 you guys!

I seriously need to start writing Livejournal posts of substance. Today was probably not the day to be doing that, though, since there will be some server move at 8am PST. It's scheduled to last 4 hours.

But, hey. I'll throw in an actual post.

Been listening to some new music lately. Latest Doctor Who and Torchwood soundtracks are fab. I like Pink's new album, Funhouse, as well. A lot of good songs. One album I'm not that into: Flyleaf's self-titled. I think queenmaab likes them and I get it, but the lyrics bother me. There are some not so subtle religious things and... eh. I'm not into that so I think I'll be dumping the album except for a few tracks.

In other news... massive DVD release day today! I'm heading out in a minute to pick up some new releases and some other great deals, like La Femme Nikita for $14.99 each. Sweet. Out today are Tropic Thunder, Wall-E, and Doctor Who season 4. Best Buy has a steelbook edition of DW, but I'm not sure I'm going to like it. I'm not a huge fan of steelbooks, so it'll depend how bad I want a copy of it on hand right now. Otherwise, I'll just order it from Amazon for $5 less.

Also stopping at Target to pick up Tropic Thunder as their special edition includes a patch. Must have. Target is also apparently selling Tim Tams and I need a box of those liekrightnow.

Okay, off I go to the store! WHEEE!

Hmm.. what did I do today...

After a really, extra long day at work (well, it felt that way anyway) I decided to head over to Joann's to see if I could find containers for the lucky stars I've been folding. No luck. Apparently they don't carry jars/bottles/covered containers anymore (wtf?!). I got some nice scrapbooking paper, though, which was half off and I think I might have enough patience to cut them up and use those for a while. I did manage a couple containers -- bath items from the $1 section. The large test tube ones for bath salts and soap bottles. All plastic with no labels. Perfect for some trials and stupid gifts!

After that I headed over to FYE. I'm going to Edgefest with queenmaab, so I had to get a ticket. Easy. Of course, I stopped in their clearance section to rummage through $3 used DVDs. Came back with 4 XD One of them was the fourth Lexx TV movie. Sweet!

Stopped at Hannaford on the way as well. Got some Compleats, which make a yummy lunch, and some yogurt. Boooring stuff, I know.

After I got home, I had some dinner and fiddled with the stereo system. Apparently, my father did actually set up right and all I had to do was plug the cables into the new TV. So now we have an adequate surround sound system for watching movies and whatnot. I think the levels and stuff still need to be tweaked because it's not exactly right, but damn, the thing actually all works!

crushw_eyeliner brought to my attention LJ's more aggressive use of Omniture. You can read the entry about here, but basically, they're going to be tracking hits, links out, referrals, etc. Basic site statistics, actually. But if you would like to opt out:

• Go to the admin console.


• Input Command: set opt_exclude_stats 1


• Execute

If you have Semagic, you can do it directly in the client by going to Links -> Console
