And you can subscribe to tags, so you can see the most recent things people have tagged. Which is mostly how I find fanfiction-- I click on, say "harry/draco" and I read what people have tagged lately.

Some blogs also use del.icious for link recommendations -- you see something that you think the blog would be interested in covering, and you tag it with that blog's name. Slightly easier than emailing links.

Thanks, Liese! I think it's good news, but am generally not actually moderating, just facilitating.

And the tumblr is convenient because they make it easy to link various kinds of things -- you don't need any HTML yourself.

I can't work out how to make that submission form use a URL to an image--I have to download and upload it. What am I missing? The forms for my other tumblrs let me.

Yeah, no idea. I can use a URL, but the submit form doesn't let you do that? You can submit it with info for me to change if you'd rather not download...

On War: Animals in War

All I know is that horsemeat was forever forbidden in my grandfather's house because he had been present for the entire Battle of Verdun.

I just got back from the repair place. They replaced the speed control chip -- and billed me for it -- but according to them, the speedometer wasn't working (which I could live with, for a while). Unfortunately, what they told me had been fixed -- the Check Engine light AND the cruise control light blinking -- ISN'T.

They already told me that the speedometer repair will need a dealership, because the transmission has to come out to get deeper into the guts of whatever is wrong.

My question is... when they TOTALLY failed to repair it whatsoever, and in fact spent $250 of my money doing it... do I have reason to ask for my money back, or for them to try another chip insertion gratis (because there's always the possibility they may have put a faulty new chip in, or damaged it when they were inserting it)?

I really don't know how to proceed.

This is how this day is gonna go. The McDonald's drive-through was closed. CLOSED.

The McDonald's drive-through was closed. CLOSED.

I thought they only did that on rare occasions - like the death of the Burger King.

I'll keep downloading and uploading Jesse, but I'LL GRUMBLE.

Delicious ROCKS (they don't have the irritating punctuation anymore). That's where I keep all my good fanwork links, and that's the simple way to share them with different people (my sister just checks the inception arthur/eames tag and ignores the rest of the stuff) plus bookmark stuff from work to home. And it's so much fun trawling strangers's tags for new stuff.

Aargh. The grill on my car is broken. How the fuck did that happen? And I'm sure it will cost a stupid amount of money to fix, dammit.

So, anybody else have tomorrow (Veteran's day) off?

And I'm sure it will cost a stupid amount of money to fix, dammit.

Maybe you could get one from a junkyard? or have your mechanic search for a used one?
