04:00 pm - this is what happens
When people post a quote I really like on LJ or DW:
I don't remember who posted it. Possibly thnidu, but I could be misremembering.
The border is taken from a book I photocopied the pattern from about twenty-five years ago, and the colors are not the original choices of the designer, either. Anyway, it only took about four evenings to stitch up, the frame is a $4 document frame from a discount store sans glass, and it's now added to the wall of cross-stitched quotations in my bedroom [g].

02:52 pm - ohhhh
So that's my current problem.
Getting closer to feeling sure about getting another cat, anyway.
But I couldn't write while married to save my life [wry g].

05:14 pm - well, *that* was fun
I could have done without "mewling quim" and with a few less explosions, but other than that? Wow, what a ride.
The Avengers wins, with the exception noted above, the Oscar for Action Movie with the Best Dialog. Period. End of discussion.
Joss Whedon and Robert Downey, Jr. should make lots more movies together, but everybody else was terrific, too. Esp. Tom Hiddleston. Ye godlings. There's just something so Wrong about falling for the villain every bit as much as I did the heroes. Seriously.
My inner ten-year-old (not to mention my adolescent fangirl) is extremely satisfied right now.

06:56 pm - on the efficaciousness of ibuprofen and a hot shower
Something out there is pollinating (actually, a particular something -- whoever decided to import Scotch broom to the Pacific Northwest should be shot -- in the kneecaps -- and left to die). Which hates both my sinuses and the little jerk with a jackhammer (the one who causes my migraines, and the one who will die slowly and painfully by my hand if it's the last thing I do).
Anyway, I was extremely lucky that I actually made it home from the museum with me and the car both in our one pieces. Managed to put some food in my stomach so that I could take the ibuprofen, then went and boiled myself in the shower long enough for the ibuprofen to kick in.
Feeling some better now. At least so long as I don't bend over...

Okay. Uncle. Switching themes seems to be making my computer lock up when I try to read LJ for more than five minutes at a time, and I can't figure out how to get back to my old theme [sigh]. No, I didn't write the name of my old theme down. I wasn't that bright.

10:44 am - ask and ye shall receive, so here's another question
So. I've always had a small problem with the typefaces that some Bujold list messages had been coming in, but I'd always thought it was a problem that couldn't be fixed. But I decided to ask why, on a supposedly plain mail email list I was getting different fonts from different people. Well, it turned out it was an easy fix.
So here I am to ask the DW and LJ equivalent. Ever since the last LJ "upgrade," when I click on individual entries (where I can read the comments or make a comment), either in my journal, or in my FL, everything is printed in Arial (my theme just basically goes away and everything becomes some sort of default, which is a white screen with pale blue accents). I find sans serif fonts a real abomination to read. Is there a way to easily change *just* the typeface and nothing else?
My theme is set up so that my FL itself and my own blog read in Garamond. It's only when I click on individual entries that Arial shows up.
If you have an easy answer, I genuinely want to know how to fix it. If it's more complicated, then consider it rhetorical [g].
ETA: I have another, plus LJ account (sojourn_town) that I use for NaNoWriMo and that sort of thing, and when I do the ?style=mine on a FL entry, it puts it in my own style instead of the white with blue. So there's the explanation, apparently. I can either have the individual entry pages in white with blue (what LJ interprets as "my style" for a basic account) or I can have them in whoever's style the entry is in (many of which I find unreadable -- light type on dark background, too small type, etc. -- but that's my problem [g]). So that's the explanation. Okay. Thanks, folks.

12:28 pm - a techie question (again)
Does WordPress.com work well with IE8? I don't want to pay the money to upgrade to Windows 7 (which is the only way I can get IE9) or switch browser brands (the last time I tried that it was a disaster), and apparently you can't just contact WordPress and ask (their contact form says it's limited to people who pay for extras, which in itself is something of a red flag to me). Looking at their help screens and googling were no help, either.
Failing that, does anyone know of a good blog hosting site that will work well with IE8? That pays for itself by some other way than charging its bloggers cash? (apparently I can't customize LJ or DW to the point that I'd need to without paying extra, and I haven't had to do that so far...).
Please, someone? Anyone?
