THE BLOG THAT CAME IN FROM THE COLD
Dec. 4th, 2007 01:04 amA few notes of social and political importance:
1. As of yesterday, this blog is breaking cover and going public. Not the whole thing (not yet – free accounts can’t change past security settings en masse), but from yesterday on. The crisis is more or less over. Details are forthcoming, but suffice to say it’s not really necessary to keep this thing Friends Only anymore – though of course anything tagged “The Job” will still stay locked in the cabinet with the guns and liquor. After the last couple of months of testing LJ’s security, I feel pretty safe opening it back up again. Plus, I’ve learned a valuable lesson in being judicious about what I put on this thing.
If I make the same mistake again, of course each and every one of you has advance permission to come to HK and carve the words “DOES NOT PAY ATTENTION IN FUCKING CLASS” on my forearms. I’ll even spring for the air fare.
Why go public? Because I’m an attention seeker who is convinced that one day, ONE DAY, I’ll post something that will impress the characters at BoingBoing, or at least Fark. And because some memes don’t work if yr entire blog is Friends Only. That’s how sad a person I am.
2. As you may have noticed, LJ was just sold again. To Russians this time. Welcome, new owners. Please don’t make me regret blowing $20. Or try to make us competitive with fucking Facebook.
3. I’m on the road to Singapore later today. Mission: deliver crystal statues and host game shows. That is all ye need to know for now. Transmissions will continue as normal.
4. Hugo Chavez makes me smile.
HUGO: “Okay, let’s vote – can we change the constitution so I can be president, like, forever?”
51% OF VENEZUELA: “Fuck no.”
HUGO: “Cool. Just asking.”
It does make me wonder about the other 49%. But then Hugo was selling it as, “Voting no is like voting for Bush”, so you can see the appeal when you put it like that.
Lame ducks of a feather,
This is dF
