Your Score: Hamlet
You scored 54% = Tragic, 35% = Comic, 24% = Romantic, 32% = Historic
You are The Tragedy of Hamlet. Highly regarded as the best play ever written by anyone ever, Hamlet tells the story of Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, and his desire to enact revenge on his Uncle for the murder of his father. When performed in its entirety, Hamlet is just under 4 hours long and contains many of the most recognizable phrases in the English language. But enough of that - let's get back to you. Your results tell us that you are no doubt of high intelligence and cultural grace. While sometimes a bit dark and moody, you still have the poise and respect of a royal noble. Your tragic flaw, however may be that you tend to over-analyze situations and think too much when you should act. You also may be a bit long-winded, but we like you anyway!

09:09 pm - TDK Viral Marketing is Cooooool
Today I went in to Boston following the viral game going on for the The Dark Knight. And I got to see the knewest trailer at the theater! Woohoo. And I got a Joker card. The scanner is hooked up to another computer but I'll post it eventually. Here's a picture of the clown who met us in at the Boston Common and gave us our cards. And a trailer description for anyone interested.

11:23 pm - Because Hieroglyphics are Cool
I always wanted to know about hieroglyphics (and yes I am a Stargate fan), and was poking around on the net. They are pretty interesting: a strange mishmash of alphabet and logograms with no vowels. If you are royalty you get a fancy cartouche.
I tried to write out my name. It's probably completely off-base, but it was fun:

10:45 pm - I just watched *the best* episode of Enterprise
I can't believe I didn't watch this show more prior to its syndication, because there are some nice gems I missed. Tonight: everyone is infected with crazy (except T'Pol) and obsessing over 'trivialities'. Tucker is trying to fix the Captain's Chair ("The most important component of the ship is the crew, and the most important crew member is the captain, and in an emergency he can't be thinking 'This chair is a pain in the ass'!"), pimping it out with cupholders, head-gear, etc. Reed is ready to shoot on site anyone not presenting their new security code and is turning the ship into a Death Star. Phlox won't let poor Travis leave sick bay until he solves his headache ("I have to go work, I'll be court-marshalled" "What if you have a protocistean spore and infect the whole crew?!" *kocks Travis out and prepares to lobotomize him*).
T'Pol: "The crew has been acting more erratic than usual...even for humans."
Meanwhile, the bleach smell is almost entirely erradicated.

10:23 pm - Out Out Damn Spot
Today mum had me cleaning the vinyl siding of the house with water and bleach. I was using rubber gloves but they had holes so I eventually took them off since they were keeping in more than they were keeping out. I've washed my hands hardcore three times already and I cannot get that bleach smell out. It is driving me crazy.

12:01 am - I'd be a Monk
Your Score: The Monk
You scored 21% Cardinal, 79% Monk, 44% Lady, and 21% Knight!
You live a peaceful, quiet life. Very little danger comes your way and you live a long time. You are wise and modest, but also stagnant. You have little comfort, little food and have taken a vow of silence. But who needs chatter when just sitting in the cloister of your abbey with The Good Book makes you perfectly content.
The Who Would You Be in 1400 AD Test
I really like that picture too. It's very serene.

11:30 am - Content Boycott March 21st
LJ is up to fuckery with it's users again. There's a planned content boycott for the 21st (12 to 12 GMT).
I don't think this boycott will have great effect, but I plan to participate. I've been following this situation lately. This isn't just about people being angry about Basic Accounts going away. It also has to do with:
1) The fact that users were not informed of this decision in the news update on March 12th (the same day the changes took effect).
2) An employee posted in response to users bringing the fact of the Basic Accounts up, claiming that the decision was made in order to make registration easier. Even though a day later (March 13) LJ admitted it was for business reasons. So people feel lied to.
3) Recently a number of top interests listed on the stats page were removed - no official explanation or apology has been made. However the responsible 'filter' has been removed and there was at least one employee attempting to respond in the news thread.
4) The other day SUP head Anton Nosik gave an interview to the press, in which he accused disgruntled LJers of attempting to 'blackmail' LJ with their boycott and other demands. There still remains no official explanation for the mysterious interest filter, or any further attempt to dialogue with users about the Basic Account situation. Here's the google translation. And a Russian user's translation here. In my opinion it's extremely contemptuous.
5) Two members of the Advisory Board ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) brad (LJs former owner) and danahboyd advised against the decision to end Basic Accounts and were ignored. They have posted their reactions here and here.
If you are thinking of participating, I'd advise not visiting LJ at all on the 21st, so the site doesn't collect hits (and hence will have impact on advertisers), not simply not posting content.
EDIT: there's finally a response up in lj_2008

11:10 pm - Garfield Minus Garfield
There's been evidence for a while that the Garfield comic strip is much better if you remove Garfield's thought bubbles, turning the strip from a story about a snarky cat into a story about a lonely, pathetic man who's socialization is limited to his pets. (It doesn't actually change the interactions between Jon and Garfield, since Jon could never hear Garfield's thoughts, but it changes the focus of the audience).
Well, someone has decided to push the envelope further, by removing Garfield completely. It doesn't necessarily improve the strip further, but it certainly makes for something different and compelling.
As Garfield Minus Garfield notes:Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness in a quiet American suburb.
