Well, today is the much-vaunted LJ Strike of Doom. The fact that I'm posting probably tells you what I think of it.

In other news, today is apparently not only Good Friday but also Purim! Purim was one of my favorite holidays as a kid; basically celebrating it involves using groggers (noisemakers), eating pastries shaped like hats, and watching a Rocky Horror-style reconstruction of the Ahasuerus/Esther story. (Seeing Rabbi Zedek in drag, on rollerskates, was possibly simultaneously one of the awesomest and one of the scariest things I've ever seen. And we're not talking "old lady" drag, we're talking "dressed like Daisy Duke" drag.) It's WAY more fun than Good Friday. XD

Other news:
- I've trying to teach myself Flash animation;
- I just set up a WordPress blog on my website where I will probably review any/everything I decide to review (but don't worry, I'll still have links to it here on LJ; it'll probably also mirror all my [livejournal.com profile] baketothefuture posts);
- and I'm currently reading volume 2 of Sex Love Pistols, which I got from Prairie Lights not too long ago.

There's always something unsettling about buying shrinkwrapped gay mpreg manga from Prairie Lights; the cashiers always look at me funny. D:

Now I think I'm going to play some more SSBB. :D

Yeah, that LJ strike is kind of bogus. People have many options for spreading their fanfiction, drama, and pet/baby/intoxication pictures on the internet. If you're pissed about Six Apart, either get over it or get out...is my feelings on the matter.

My main problem with it is less the reasoning behind it (though I have issues with some of it, I sympathize with some of it as well) as that they way they're going about it seems completely pointless.

It's like, "hay guys you are aware of the definition of a strike? This is more of a boycott than a strike, since you're consumers and not employees, but even so a one-day boycott is not exactly going to do shit."
