In winter I get up at night

[sovay]

It is barely even thinking about dawn outside: the sky is a kind of drowned jewel-blue through the trees. Tomorrow will be the solstice.

I do not understand what the hell misguided upgrades Livejournal has decided to inflict on my comments pages—although it renders individual posts of mine essentially unreadable, which will not switch me to Dreamwidth, it will take me out of online interaction entirely if someone doesn't fix it—but I'll have to deal with it when I get back. I'll be out of internet ambit for most of the day: I am meeting rushthatspeaks in New York City in the early afternoon, after which we hope to interface with handful_ofdust in time for tonight's reading at KGB Bar. There's no point in bringing my computer on a day trip, so I'll be carrying a computer bag full of books. What else is technology for?

(My current music is no longer visible on my main journal! Seriously, what does that serve?)

Finish tea, catch a bus. Happy Hanukkah!

Happy Hanukkah!

(Disliking the comment changes so very much.)

What the shite is this shite?

Hate. Haaaaate.

Much like that you are going to NY, though. I will put out a bowl of mangoes for the gods so that the Fung Wah Bus lets you and yours arrive home intact.

I have no idea what LJ thinks they're doing. In addition to everything else, the search function on the icon screen doesn't seem to work correctly.

Have a wonderful time at the reading! If you have energy to burn afterwards I know there there's a channukah party where you'd be welcome and probably know at least some of the guests.

...OK, yeah, this comment page is weird. *I* may switch to DW.

Anyway: Wow, only recorded occasion when you got up before I! Happy Hanukkah and Solstice, and good luck.

The comment page is completely fucked. I recommend using Firefox, installing LiveJournal Addons, and selecting "view all pages in my style". Then (if you haven't already) pick a journal style that still has the old-fashioned comments.

Or switch to Dreamwidth.

Also meant to say: I will not be at KGB tonight, alas, because of Chanukifying with friends in Brooklyn. Sorry to miss seeing you!

Happy Solstice and Hanukkah!

Give my love to Rush.

Happy Hanukkah! Safe travels, and I hope you have a lovely, lovely time in NYC. That reading sounds brilliant--if I lived in the city, I'd definitely be going.

I don't like this new comment page thing, either. I hope it doesn't drive you from online interaction, cos I'd miss your posts rather a lot. I've got an account on DW, but amn't much good at keeping up with both, and most of my friends are still here on LJ so I've stayed here.

Finish tea...

At first I thought you'd written "Finnish tea", and I was going to ask what was in Finnish tea and if it was easily found in your part of the world.

Happy Hanukkah!

(And gah, what the heck is LJ doing???)

[ashlyme.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this seems to be screwed. Usually when I check out LJ on this phone, it's quite readable. Now everything's in letters an inch high - gah!

Happy Hanukah to you too.

I would miss this journal.

Have a fantastic time in New York at the reading!

[ashlyme.livejournal.com]

Hope the reading went well.

Glad the journal seems to be back to normal. It's nice that I know some of these icons (now) without pestering you (Quizzical Morell? Wow).

Also, thanks for the wee bit of advice re: Street of Oracles. It's shaping up to be somewhat bleaker than I thought, to the extent that I've promised a friend that I will produce a story with a happy ending soon.

Hope you had a good Hannukah?
