The Antisocial Socialist

Announcement the first

You may have noticed that I'm screwing around with the layout again. It's a work-in-progress. Ideally, I need a format that allows me to customize background or title bar images and ideally lets me change comment text (because I love my molotov cocktail/return the empties thing) and keep a tag list. I really like Freshly Baked Bread here, but I can't seem to change the bread to something cool, like gears or zombies.

Consider this your invitation to snark about my layout and suggest ideas.

I also changed the name. Bonus points to anyone who gets the reference.

Still working on it, ack. New layout should be up soon, I hope.

Regarding this:



It appears that I share an apartment with pure evil.

Bad kitties!

In the old days, before the invention of this series of tubes that we call teh intarwebs, communication was far more difficult. For example, I would have said unto you: "Verily, today mine eyes beheld the most wondrous kitten." (And by you, I mean those of you within shouting distance.)

And would you have replied, "O sabotabby, tell me of this fair beastie!"

And then I would have wasted an enormous amount of time describing unto you the kitten's diminutive stature, the magnitude of her yellow eyes, her most delectable pink nose, and her paws upon which were bestowed a most unusual number of toes. By the end of this description I would have still failed to convey the astonishing cuteness of the kitten.

Fortunately, we live in an information age, and I can just ( do this. )

Um...help? I found something extremely awful and disturbing. I'm not sure what to do, and if what I did do was the right thing.

( Cut for horrible involving a cat. )

Right, so I've got tickets to go see Flogging Molly. Squee! And I'm having an extra kitty for the weekend. More squee! And about 10 prisoners in Missouri just mailed me wanting copies of Ye Drunken Sailor. Squee! No...wait, that makes me really sad, because it's that kind of thing that inspired me to keep the 'zine going long after it should have died, and I'm feeling vaguely guilty that I won't have anything to send them after this issue.

::sigh::

emak_bakia managed to get the split in the AFL-CIO and the disarming of the IRA into one post. Awesome.

Warning: I might post-spam today because I ought to stay home with the kitties and make sure they don't kill each other, and it's a good excuse for gratuitous cat-blogging later. It is a Friday, after all.

In other news, why am I such an incompetent ditz who can't figure out how to book a flight to Halifax and back online? Both WestJet's and Air Canada's websites are utterly confusing and the rates seem excessively expensive. Help?

Never mind. I figured it out. Well, the booking-a-flight bit, anyway, though the website and actual reality are confusing and contradictory when it comes to Aeroplan. Ah well. At least I'm going to Halifax next weekend.
