i'm a pixel here, myself

Once upon a time in LJ land there was a person who found a show called Supernatural. She liked to take screen captures from the show and write things on them in MS Paint; things that she thought were funny. She showed them to her friends and they, being of the same humor type as she, laughed. Thus emboldened, she posted them in every fucking Supernatural image community in LJ land so others could see them. When [others said "oh, but we don't think these are funny" she whined and cried and said "but my friends do!"] which she thought made it all okay. The mod intervened and said "look, leave the poor girl alone" so everyone continued to be subject to "funny" pictures that were not funny.

Until now.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you [Drew's guide to making a killfile]. With this handy text, you too can be rid of the aforementioned girl and her "funny" pictures. It worked for me and it can work for you!

A killfile is a modification of your style layer to include a little snippet of code. That code says "never display posts by the users I specify" -- which works even if the user is posting in a community. I would be glad to help out those who are less coding-savvy. Comment to this post or email me for specific help if the killfile how-to is confusing.

Gosh, another day of work. Who'd have thought?

Today's plan: work for another hour and a half, then go home to brush teeth, go to the dentist to get a cavity filled, and then go home again. Dick around for a little while (hee! I said "dick"!) and maybe go back to work, or possibly work from home. Of course as soon as I set foot outside it started raining. ::shakes fist at weather::

My statistical progam is mocking me. I can tell. Also, Gmail is being a bitch.

My Day So Far, a play in one act by Drew

Drew: [wakes up before alarm, answers email, checks LJ]
alarm: [goes off]
Drew: [smacks alarm]
rain: [starts]
Drew: fuck. [bikes to work in the rain]
work stuff: [gets done]
rain: [continues]
Drew: [bikes home, has small lunch, goes to dentist]
dentist: meet mr. novocaine!
Drew: that's a really big syringe
dentist: you're a big boy I'm not going to use all of it. we just need it in case you start to feel something.
Drew: oh, okay.
dentist: [uses enough novocaine to knock out an elephant]
Drew: why can't I feel my nose?
dentist: [brandishes a drill]
drill: whirrrrrrrrrrrr
Drew's tooth: OH GOD NO AAAAAAAACK!
Drew: [doesn't feel a thing]
fillings: [materialize]
dentist: now y'all come back in another two weeks for round two!
Drew: my insurance is going to hate me.
rain: [goes really fucking hard]
lighting: [flashes]
thunder: [crashes]
Drew: um. [zips up jacket and starts home]
rain: [stops]
Drew: ...? not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but wtf?
rain: [starts]
Drew: sigh. [refrains from returning to work]

So what could make a shitty day into a good one? How about more you-know-what? Have at it.

Sending my roommate home from work with Krispy Kremes was possibly the most wonderful thing you could have done for me today.
