Dang...LiveJournal is down

Guess we’ll all have to come back to the boards now. :smiley:

(For the newer members, or those who simply weren’t paying attention, during the famed Winter of Our Missed Content, when the boards were down for…what, a couple months?..a lot of us migrated over to LJ and found it quite hospitable. There’s a virtual expat community of Dopers over there, many of whom aren’t even around on the boards any more. I’ve found myself spending more and more time there and less and less here over time. But I guess I’ll need to reacquaint myself with the SDMB now. Gotta get my fix somehow!)

Oh, and for anyone who’s wondering what’s up with LJ: http://www.livejournal.com/powerloss/

I know. I can’t get to my To Do list now because it was in an entry there. :frowning:

[Imagine a picture of a coelacanth here]

Music: Car Talk on NPR
Mood: tired :frowning:

Went out last night with the Chi people for dinner. Had fabulous food, drank of the wine, talked about how long it would take to drive to Alabama. Got drunk enough that I misplaced my Midwestern accent and rediscovered my California accent.

Now I have to get dressed cause I’m going to Wisconsin to go shopping with Eva Luna in 40 minutes.

I have Monday off! Hahaha! I mock everyone who doesn’t! Mock, mock, mock!

I know. The update page looks like they’re working on it as fast as they can.

If it’s not back up soon, a lot of us LJ’ers may need to come back to MPSIMS and I know NObody wants that.

I’m really bummed because I can’t see the result of my last “You must choose” poll, or post a new poll! Man!

Ok, I’m sorry I did it but it was the only way to make him finally shut up.

This is what happens when livejournal is down.

Oh the humanity!

I even thought of starting a thread like this. I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to post last night!

But, on the plus side, I got to spend some more quality time with the SDMB. :slight_smile:

I do stil lhang out here a lot, but, geez, I’m suffering from LJ withdrawal. I can’t quite subject the boards to the same level of oppressively boring constant comments.

Yesterday I worked for 3 hours. I spent a lot of time doing things that needed to be done but didn’t count, though.

Y’ain’t kiddin’. Plus sometimes there are those lj posts where one part would go in here and another part would go in the Pit.

[sub]I miss mah journal.[/sub]

I want my journal back. :frowning:

wow, for somebody who doesn’t even post that much, I really miss my journal,sob. :frowning:

I actually woke up earlier than usual just to check the status of LJ.

I’ve been spending more time here lately anyway, but yea, I spent most of last night on the board.

I didn’t have much of an update, other than I watched I, Robot last night, and Will Smith is smokin’ hot.

Oh, and something bit my eyelid and I was convinced it poisoned me.

Dang, I only bought the upgraded subscription yesterday!

You broke teh LifeGerbil!!

Yeah, they say it was an unexpected power failure. But really, how does all the power, *even the supposedly redundant power, * all go away at once?

Not that I’m trying to point fingers, but it’s rather odd that this should happen so soon after the sale of LiveJournal.

And I don’t believe Oswald shot Kennedy either.
(In case anyone’s curious, I’m stagemanager over at LJ, too.)

Even though I don’t update as often as I’d like, I am at LJ more than I am here.

During The Winter of Our Missed Content, I was really active here.
And when things were fixed and the Dope came back, over 200 posts of mine had disappeared.

And they were good ones.

No, really.

I’m desperately missing LiveJournal right now as well. A post, if I could make one, would probably follow something like this…

*Last night I actually got some of my reading done for the next week. ::shock and amazement:: My roommates went out, and I was cool with that. I really didn’t need an extra night of not having time to catch up on work.

Right now I’m stressing a little bit about what I need to graduate with a degree in anthropology, the idea of going to grad school, and the fact that Florida State doesn’t officially have fieldwork for anything besides archaeology, which sucks for my cultural anthro-focused self. I’m at 89 hours currently, and I wonder if I’m going to be able to get into classes I need for the summer… the offerings for most schools over the summer really suck, and honestly, if I could’ve afforded it, I should’ve taken summer courses after my first year at college. Also, as far as grad school goes, there’s a reason why I’m taking a year off before going to grad school, granted that I can get in. Liberal studies may haunt me for the rest of my academic career. Oy. :smack: *

Ah, the joys of LiveJournal and its assistance in helping me dick around instead of getting actual work done.

Yes, but the board is just as effective as livejournal in that respect;)

You want to hear pathetic? … I was right in the middle of an entry when the whole thing went down. I’ve got it saved as a document, and I’m just waiting for the site to come back up so everyone can read the exciting story of how my car insurance almost got cancelled.

Oy . . . this would happen just after I clicked the reply button.
