Fuck you 5.30am

...and so I guess the lesson I'd have to say I've learned, here, is "No matter what, 2 Jägermeister/Cokes & a Fin du Monde do not a substitute for dinner make."

I woke up about 10 minutes ago with a body demanding water and "Ask" by the Smiths, stuck in my head. Yeah, fuck you 5.30am.

I want a cigarette. So badly.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I found out the following, via karma_aster:

'I’ve been wondering what’s up with all the DDoS attacks LJ has been receiving lately. Signal boosting ingridmatthews:

'"Just in case anyone thinks LJ's downtime is just TPTB being incompetant, read this:


'"LiveJournal, Russia's blogging platform of choice, is sustaining biggest cyberattack attack in its history. Bloggers say the Kremlin wants to crack down on political discussion.


'"LiveJournal, Russia’s most popular blogging platform, has been under a massive DDoS attack for the past few days. The attack has effectively wiped out Russia’s main refuge for unbridled political discussion, a hugely lively and extensive domain frequented by politicians, opposition activists and social commentators alike...


'“The reason for attack is more than clear in this case — someone wants LiveJournal to disappear as a platform,” Ilya Dronov, development director at SUP, wrote in a post on his LiveJournal blog earlier this week. He said the hackers were hoping to push bloggers from LJ to social networks where “it's easier to fight individual users.”"

So there's the scoop, as it were.

Good morning.

Processing takes Time

This morning, my friend Rob sent me this, with the note, "I Think You'll Like This":

Do note the song title, and the band name.
A few hours later, razelore sent me this with the note, "I think you needed this today":

"...the universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. Therefore ... there is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist before you closed them. Therefore ... the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it." -Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

They were both very right.

These days? They are crazy, tumultuous days.

Communication is most definitely my ruling passion.

Either that, or I just like hearing myself talk.

You be the judge.

Either way, keep talking to me
