I likely will be asleep tomorrow morning and not posting, so I wish you all a very happy turn of the year! May 2017 prove to be kind.

Also, just because there's LJ kerfluffle, I do have an account at DW that I don't currently do much with, but if LJ dies, find me there as 'cairistiona'. For now it's simply a back-up account to LJ, but if LJ goes away, I'll move operations there. Feel free to friend me there if you haven't already. :)

I know, wow, right? I had a thought! I have those, on occasion.

And it's actually a somewhat serious thought. With the situation between Russia and the Crimea, etc, and LJ being owned by a Russian company, I thought it might be wise to more frequently import my LJ content over to my DW account (I'm terribly lax about that). Hopefully LJ won't be affected, but I can see the possibility of, well, any number of things happening that might affect LJ, from denial-of-service attacks to economic sanctions blocking access, who knows. It's a tense situation, to say the very least.

So. For what it's worth, if you have a DW account, which I know a lot of you do, you might want to do an import of your LJ content if you haven't for a while. Right now it's very quick... I think it took about five minutes when I did it this afternoon.

If you haven't found me over at DW, I'm simply "cairistiona" there... no "7" on the end like my LJ account.

*fingers crossed*

Hey there hi there ho there...

LJ is messed up again... why, I don't know. But I decided since it was moving in fits and starts to try a cross-post from DW ...aaaand ...it didn't work. And then I found a notice over there that says cross-posting with LJ is a little balky at the moment. *sigh* But the A-a-day *is* posted over there, and I will repost it here if it doesn't ever show up on its own. (EDIT: or you can just go over to my DW account here to see it if you don't want to wait...)

Posting pics at DW is a bit of a pain, but not impossible, I found. I just have to go to photobucket first, grab the codes and then past them in myself, whereas here at LJ you just hit buttons and it takes you straight to photobucket and lets you "paste media" all from the comfy recliner of LJ. I'm soooooo hoping that getting photo capabilities upgraded at DW is high on their list... although I think at the moment that DW is a little overwhelmed by the mass panic importing of everyone's LJ content. Which makes me think that maybe everyone should hold off on importing for a week or two and let things settle down a bit on both ends. Of course, I realize I'm only making that suggestion to about, um, 30 people, not all of whom even have DW accounts, and there are probably 3 million people madly hitting "import content" over at DW, but hey... I said my piece to the audience I have. LOL

And in case the "official" A-a-day never shows up, here's a second one. Hey, why not turn all this headache-inducing mess in our favor, right? Look at four Aragorn pics today? Works for me. *g* And yes, these are smaller... I didn't want to scare you with too much SpookyGorn! *g* The ones at DW are related but different pics.
