3 things: BLTs, writing, and LJ woes
What I did tonight:
1. Ate a BLT sandwich for dinner. This is something I only do now and then on account of my food allergies -- I can get away with eating a couple slices of raw tomato very occasionally, provided I take a Benadryl first. Which also means I never do that for lunch, since then I'd be going back to work while fighting what might as well be a sleeping pill. But oh man, BLTs are delicious.
2. Wrote 300 words of the Hinata fic, which seems to be set when the gang are in their mid-thirties. So that will make three fics in the summer camp and politics AU, each spaced about 12-13 years apart.
3. Changed my LJ style over to S2 and kicked at it a little until it kinda sorta maybe-if-you-squint resembles a stripped bare shadow of my DW style (which is itself pretty damn minimalist). I would like, if possible, to kick LJ further until I can get my comments page to look the way it used to instead of the ugly and less functional version they rolled out in December, but I have a terrible suspicion that would require paying the site money, which, ugh, no. I bought paid time on DW because this site actually cares about user opinions, but I don't want to invest in a site that seems to take pleasure in kicking users around.
(It is possible that someone with more computer programming knowledge than I possess (i.e., any at all) might be able to produce a workaround without throwing money at LJ -- apparently I have an option to add customized CSS to my style sheet or something? -- but I would not have the faintest idea where to start on that project. *sadface* I really ought to look into learning CSS one of these days...)

and on Disable customized comment pages for your journal set it to "no", and the comment page will be in the same style as your journal. It's a workaround they might eventually disable though. :/
Might I add I'd be really happy if you did that because the new LJ page makes everything I type in the boxes appear at the rate of one letter per second or sometimes more, which makes long replies really frustrating. D: *kicks stupid lj*

Okay, that's weird! It's working fine for me. o_o; I'm sorry then, no ideas.
