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.

Yeah, I didn't think to look for Detroit, but I'm a bit surprised by that, too.

And ha, it is funny that it's almost cool to know a dangerous neighborhood. I have that feeling sometimes too.
