6389 Hoping for a more fresh perspective, a day later.

There were so many elements last night conspiring to give Danny a hard time, and he pulled through it like a trouper. I'm glad that there were a few positives in a mostly negative evening. I *have* to make a point of taking him out someplace solo and just having a grand time without those unhappy elements. Maybe give him what he actually was expecting for his b-day, a sushi dinner and a nice movie, my treat. Hopefully I can take him to see Peter Pan before it leaves theaters. He deserves some good view of mermaids and pirates (and maybe a little Mai-Kai) for showing his colossal restraint.

Spoke with Doug Wu briefly last night... it looks like he's launching for Seattle next week, at last! I'm very happy for him.. he's been trying to make the exodus for what seems like a dog's age.

I'm glad that we have better security on LJ now. It was a minor concern of mine, but I never posted about it publicly.

Incredibly Bored? Want to see my current Work to-do list? (Gives an idea of what is on my plate right now.) Does anyone else use J's to do functionality?

Handy way to search your livejournal for keywords in Google (for public, indexed messages only, of course) -

site:livejournal.com username keyword

For example, if I wanted to look for entries that have been updated via palm, preferably pics and doodles in them, I'd try -

site:livejournal.com scottobear palm

It'll do until LJ gets a better internal search. Sorry, friend's-only journalists!

I want to see Peter Pan if only to see the Mermaids. I caught a glimpse of them on the tv preview.

Is there a way to hide a to-do list on LJ and make it private? I get kind of secretive and would have some sort of weird anxiety about my list being out there. I know..I know. ;)

you can set your items security like your entries... public, friend's only or private. (I don't think they have filters yet)

Nothing wrong about keeping notes to yourself private.. I do it all the time with some entries.. nobody needs to know about the cleanup in aisle 5. :)

Oh! I use Bollywhat too. I got a nice translation of Chunri there. I think I spelled it wrong, but you know what I mean. I tried to search for a translation of one of my favorite songs, but they didn't have it. I think it's because the song is so old.

actually, I think it may've been you or bohemianqueen that turned me on to Bollywhat. It's a pretty keen site!
