Murphy puppy photos

I've just found the partial backups I had of some of my photos. There's not a lot left, but there's a few of Murphy that're quite cute. I'd like to have shot a few of these differently, but then most of these ones weren't actually shot by me.

Still! Cute, furry, and lovable. And in roughly chronological order. I don't think these need much more explanation.

OMGWTFtextentry!

Except it's mostly just more of me going on about my layout. And, in honour of today's IE issues, of my new icon.

Today's changes include the earlier issues with the taglist (it's now a hierarchical menu in Firefox), a narrower sidebar, a collapsed calendar brought into line with the colour scheme in the rest of the layout, and me remembering to mention the randomised icon in the sidebar to those of you who haven't seen it yet.

Also, there's a link in the link list for my icon post, which has now been updated to just before I made this icon. (Is nothing up to date in this journal?) No link here, I'm afraid, since there's a perfectly good one in the sidebar. Or you can find it via the taglist, I suppose.

I'll still love forever anyone who can tell me how to code in quickreply on the comments pages, too.

Another semi-plan is to add a randomised quotebox in the sidebar; the thing slowing it down is I have no idea what I'd put in there.

And, to finish off, a meme stolen from princesslaurene (See? I can code LJtags!) and tweaked for no particular reason except that it seems like fun to do it this way and I'm amusingly not much for playing with other people's characters (though their worlds may well be fair game).

And what is this meme? I want you to give me a concept, phrase, word, sentence, quote, or object. A fandom is optional for the request, and optional for me to scribble about¹.

Beyond that, the concept, phrase, word, sentence, quote or object must be somewhere included in what I write for you. For your part, you have no say in what you'll get back; needless to say, I'll probably try to squeeze something out of it that you mightn't have been expecting².

And why am I doing this, you ask? For fun. To entertain my flist. For attention. Because most of you haven't seen much at all of how I write Stuff. Because I want a little bit of a break from prodding S2 code with a sharp mouse pointer. And I suppose that if you like it then you could always tell your friends to try, and get them to tell their friends, and watch my comments page explode.³

And now I'm off to bed. I'll see what you've come up with in the morning.

¹This will probably depend most upon my familiarity with the fandom. Firefly, Old Kingdom and Keys to the Kingdom are almost definitely going to meet with a favourable response.
²No, I won't find a way to turn petunias into the Spanish Inquisition, no matter how little you would've been expecting it.
³Maybe one of them knows about coding in quickreply. That'd be shiny.^4
4No, I don't miss an opportunity. Yes, my normal speech is slowly shifting closer to what you hear in Firefly. Yes, the second part of the Project is on its way. No, I made up the questions all by myself. No, I don't think the answers are that necessary. Yes, I thought it was fun to include them anyway.

Do memes deserve the Lemmings icon? Discuss.

This meme nicked from crackedwraith. No amoebas were harmed in the making of this meme. (Don't you just love that word? Amoeba. Amoeba. And appropriate to memesheepage - A meme? baa.)

Rules are as follows: Bold the following that are true about you, italicise things you wish were true, add one true thing about you, and then tag five more people. (Comment in parentheses, if you must.)

• I miss somebody right now.
• I don't watch much TV these days.
• I love olives.
• I own lots of books.

More memes

Turns out, I've been tragically behind on memes. These things are bound to happen occasionally.

Before I start, I want everyone to know that the writing thingy is still very much open. And will probably never close. It is here. Anyone can play.

And now on with the sheepage. This time, here's one for which I was tagged by salzara_tirwen.

The meme? To write 20 random facts about yourself, and then to tag as many people as the number of minutes the meme takes you. So! ( OMG cut bling bling )
