Thanks for all the cookies, you guys! I missed out on sending some back, I AM LAME, so I just wanted to run in here and say thanks. Happy Holidays everybody!

Now I have to go play peacekeeper in my family before my sister-in-law and my mother throw blows. Good times.

On why_me_why_not's holiday wish list, she asked for: MUSIC MIXES! Yall, I love music. And I love hearing what yall are listening to. SHARE!

I had two ideas for this (both rather lame, sadly) and couldn't decide, so I just uploaded both.

FIRST! I am one of those annoying people who wakes right up in the morning. My alarm goes off and I get up, get dressed, take care of the dogs, make some tea, get in my car, pull out of the driveway...

And then.

This is where the problem happens.

Since 2003, I've had a long commute to work. From 45 to 75 minutes, one way. When I get in the car, I have a bit of highway hypnosis and sort of....drift. If I let that happen, then I'm sleepy and tired, grouchy and a bit out of it by the time I get to work. BUT!! If I can make myself wake up and focus, then I arrive at work happier, and ready to face the day.

My solution? MUSIC. My current Drive to Work Mix is all bad rap. And Kelly Clarkson. I don't know. But it really gets me going in the mornings. It is mandatory that you turn up the volume on the radio loudly enough to sing without hearing yourself. And, to get the full effect, you really need to choreograph some driving-friendly dance moves to go along with the tunes too.

For the second mix, I wanted to do the top 30 songs most frequently played on my ipod. Well, that turned out to be a HILARIOUS list, I kind of love it. All of these songs are from several years ago, when I traveled all the time and would listen to the same ten songs on repeat for five hour plane rides two or three times a month.

An also fun fact about my questionable music taste is that all of these songs (except the two IG songs) are fandom-related to me, in some way. SO, it's like a little trip down memory lane for me. Which always is fun!

Yay music?




Over and Over and Over and...

Thanks so much for the snowflake cookies rejeneration and queen_haq. I love you guys and I'm trying my best to get some christmas presents of the fandom variety sorted. Free time went AWOL again as my sister had wrist surgery and I now have 1.5 babies to take care of over Christmas. Hopefully this means she won't have pain all the time any more. Merry Christmas to her. I hope everyone is having a great holiday period and if I don't manage to get online and post my pressies *KISSES KISSES KISSES* to you all.

*hugs*

PS - I can't help it. Whenever I see this icon it makes me smile and reminds me the years are </i>passing</i>. Heh. Remember when there was a Gremlins ride at WB Movie World? Last time I was there it was replaced with Scooby Doo. Sigh.

got rid of some more stuff today - now the computer desk is gone (that shit is heavy lol) Pretty soon, we're going to have an empty living room - but hey, it'll make vacuuming that much cleaner!

**EDIT Wed Dec 9 00:28:16 UTC 2009 **

The notification system has been fixed in the new release... we are currently processing the queue, which is upwards of 12m jobs... please bear with us while our workers chew through this large queue and get your notification / emails out. Some may come more quickly than others due to weights on the notifications themselves, but we are hoping in the next 24 hours to have all the queues cleared and all notifications delivered that had been queued up over the past few days.

Again I apologize for this inconvenience, but we are almost out of the woods as soon as we are done clear cutting some of the forest ;)

Thanks,

** END EDIT**

Hey Guys,

Unfortunately with our last release, and its instability, we were forced to roll back releases. Unfortunately in doing so, it would seem that our notification system has been broken somehow. Our engineers are working on this issue as quickly as possible. We hope to have a patch within the next day, so we can deploy our code and fix the notification system at the same time. Please *bear* with us ;)

Currently all notifications are being queued up so they can be processed as soon as the fix is pushed and verified to be working correctly.

Thank you,
