LJ Hacking Update

I haven't been hacked, nor have any of the communities I frequent, but that doesn't mean that my flist won't come across it. I've had this journal for damn near 10 years now, and though I wouldn't be absolutely distraught if it were to go, I certainly wouldn't be happy about it.

I went through this and did everything I could to tighten up the security of my account. And boy did I have some things to do.

So I present to you, how to protect yourself from low-tech, fairly ingenious hackers. )

this is from facebook. I'm just late to the party.

Rules: once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

Meh.

Applied to two more places today. Thankfully this week's been pretty busy so I haven't had time to mope around about not working. I'm just -- so done with LB; I'm tired of the bullshit and the fact that unless you're "in" with the managers, in part of their little popular clique, you're stepped on and overlooked. The week leading up to New Year's, all the managers could talk about was what they were going to wear when they went out to Bourbon Street for NYE, which made me glad that I didn't run the risk of bumping into them since I'd be in Covington.

However, in an effort to scrape together what piddly little hours I can, I did sell a credit card on Sunday (we're supposed to get one per shift, but who's counting in a fucking RECESSION?). One per shift means I got all of my required credit for the week, so if the powers that be don't decide to shit on me again, I'll see some work next week, on the four days I'm available to work next week, since school's starting. Almost done with LB, and as far as Delgado, two more semesters and I'm outta there.

this is my care cup |_| <-- it's empty

My care-o-meter on the fact that Livejournal/SUP fired 12 of 28 employees with no warning - citing the fear of current economic trends? Is at 0%. I'll have had this livejournal for 6 years on February 4th, but if it were to dissolve tomorrow, I don't know that I'd really miss it. Sure, I've made some friends here and it's a handy way to keep up with everyone, buuuuuuuut ... keeping up with people is what real life is for, and most of my lj friends are people I know in real life anyway.

Going to get a haircut, I think, on Saturday, in case Tulane happens to call me back. I'll need to look my best for the hypothetical interview, and I've needed my hair cut for awhile. Hopefully I can get an appointment at Aveda. I think the stylist's name was Jeanne -- the one who did my hair last time. She's excellent with wavy hair. Hmmr. Also, I need to dye it to cover up ALL of the fucking grey.

I need to register for school, given that it starts on the 20th. >>; I need to actually get on that. Reminder to self REGISTRATION STARTS ON THE 14TH OF JANUARY.

Gamed tonight - we're doing Changeling: the Lost. Not sure how I feel about it. I always feel like a mediocre roleplayer after gaming with my normal group. I kick ass at text RP, but I kind of suck at tabletop. I think it's because the one-on-one attention between GM and gamer kind of freaks me out.

Debut Album Meme



1 - Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3. The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. (If you want to do this again, you'll hit refresh to generate new quotes, because clicking the quotes link again will just give you the same quotes over and over again.)

3 - Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

My Band's Name: Disco 2000
My Album: The Love Of Ourselves

discombobulated


So I'm sure that any of you who talk to me over AIM or WoW heard me whine and cry yesterday about studying for my dreaded math final -- which was to be at 8am this morning, right? WRONG!

I had biology this morning, which I thought was Wednesday, which means I didn't study for it. However, my lowest test score in that class was a 78 (which is a high C), since they dropped the LOWEST test grade (which was a 54 -- I bombed that test), plus I have a B quiz grade .. I think I did okay. The final wasn't extremely hard and I recognized a lot of the questions asked. I was certainly not as unprepared as SOME people in my class, despite thinking the final was on Wednesday.

Now I'm sitting in the CATT lab waiting until 1pm for my brit lit final, which .. should be interesting. Poor sir Gawain (not Gawian >.< ) is a little smeared from where I not-so-judiciously used whiteout to correct his name, but other than that he looks really good. I forgot to take a picture of him, so hopefully Dr. MacArthur will let me keep him.

TBH, I don't think I'm going to take any more online/hybrid classes. I don't like the splitting up of the class between online and here at campus. I like more structure. I enjoyed Dr. MacArthur's class a lot because of the subject matter, but I really hated the hybrid aspect.

I re-did my livejournal layout for the holidays. I rawther like it.

if they hate then let 'em hate

I'm considering moving on to a new journal. I already have a name picked out and a journal made, buuuuut it's going to be the packing up and the moving that will come later. Or won't come at all. :| I mean, I've had this journal since February of 03. That's almost six years of entries, right? But -- I think I'm outgrowing LJ itselfthe name.

Work's finally feeling the waves coming off of the mess that is the economy right now. My hours got shot down from 35 to about 20 a week; last week I had 14. After this coming week I have no more school 'til finals (and 'til January when it starts up again), so hopefully I'll pick some back up. We still have no a/c or heat. And today the guy came to replace several tiles in the store, but brought the wrong kind of tile .. so we have gaping holes in the floor. Lawsuit ahoy. It's a good thing I wear flats every day or else it'd totally be me to fall and bust my ass.

Uh. School's going well. I'm a grade higher in Biology than I thought I was - I have a B instead of a C. I made a 97 on my last math test. I'm trying to push to get my GPA as high as possible this semester, since I don't think I'm going to make the Dean's List again. OH WELL NEXT SEMESTER. ♥

story of the day

Well, crap, my paid account wore out. Didn't stop LJ from putting a $19.95 charge in my account -- pending, and it'll go away, but still, that's $19.95 I could use.

Life has been very normal. I went out to eat at the Doson Noodle House with Jodi, Jackie, Carl, Bruce and Lil Chris; afterwards we went to Angelo Brocato's. I got cannoli (of course!) and what may have been the best Italian soda I've ever had. I guess Doson/Brocato's is the Carrollton version of our sushi and ice cream out here in Metairie.

A couple of days ago Jacko and I went to King Buffet and I picked up some new beads and some eye pins at Hancock ... also a new bead box so I can now obsessively organize my "special" beads. We also began sending out the invitations for the Baby Barbeque and Pot Luck Pool Party, as it's called (note that we are not actually barbequing babies).

Getting a pair of jeans for $10 is full win. I love associate specials at work.

I was gonna write a more serious entry about stuff, but my head hurts and it's kinda late. I'll write some more tomorrow.
