Stuff!

[brigdh]

1. I finally succumbed and paid LJ for another year. I know, seriously, at some point I am going to figure this Dreamwidth/LJ thing out, but I keep putting it off, and the ads were making me sad. As was the fact that I only had 5 icons. I have resisted the temptation to buy extra icons, so I still don't have all 140 or whatever, but at least I know have 65, which I tell myself is really all the icons a reasonable person needs. ...we'll see if I manage to keep to that.

2. Other stuff I am doing: Flikr! (Which, unlike LJ, I have not paid for, so now I can't upload more photos until next month.) I've been organizing some of the pictures I've taken recently; I don't claim to know much about cameras or what I'm doing, really, but I quite enjoy taking pictures, so I thought I'd share:
The Bronx Zoo
The Brooklyn Botanical Garden
New York Botanical Garden
Cardiff

3. A Monstrous Manifesto by yuki_onna. An amazing poem, absolutely worth reading.

4. The 25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in the USA, 2010. Unsurprisingly, none of them are in NYC, while three are in Ohio. Hahaha. I am totally sending this link to people I know who keep telling me how dangerous NYC is.

It is!

And yes, I keep trying to tell people that, you know, things can change in two-three decades. But since it is mostly old, distant relatives who tell me to watch out for NYC, they just give me the "yes, yes, innocent dearie, you don't know what you're talking about" routine. But now: proof! Mwahahaha.
