Answer for question 4198.

I’ve certainly watched a few series one episode after the next, but the only show that I think really counts as a binge watch was when Gillian and I discovered the first season of Better Off Ted. We were up watching until 3am.

Answer for question 4186.

I do enjoy dancing, though I’m not very good at it; I’m so-so at propelling my body where it needs to be, but I’m awful at footwork and always have been. Gillian and I have started taking lessons in Scottish country dancing which has been a lot of fun.
I do remember the last times went dancing. It was the Monday before Christmas at the holiday party for the Livermore branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. As beginners Gillian and I only know a few dances, and I was feeling a bit ill as well so I only danced a single tune.

Answer for question 4158.

I know it’s not what you meant, but I’d love if I could have fully working and bendable limbs again.

But more in the spirit of the question, I’d say Popoids and Construx. A few days ago I looked up the Universal Connector Kit to see if any more pieces had been added (there haven’t been) and got to thinking about my favorite building blocks from when I was a kid. Popoids were these plastic tubes, like the bendy bit of a straw, that attached to plastic blocks. And Construx were kind of like plastic construction beams that could be built up into three dimensions.

Why? Honestly, just for nostalgia’s sake.

New LJ feature – Tumblr feed on the new Friends Feed!

I’m giving LJ’s new layout another try (it’s ~80% of the way to convincing me to switch permanently) and took a look to see if there have been any changes to the new friends feed (~95% done, in my opinion.) And right at the top of the widget sidebar was a big “Login to Tumblr” button. Holy crap, they made my idea a reality. Now if only there were a way to repost from Tumblr to LJ like you can do with the Twitter and Instagram feeds and I’d be a truly happy camper.

If you want to check it out, first you need to be using LJ’s new site design (click on the link on the homepage to test it out.) Then, you need to use the /feed page [ http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/feed/ ] instead of the /friends page [ http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/feed/ ], making sure to use your own username – the feed widgets are only visible to you on your own /feed page, not anywhere else nor to anyone else. And if you find the colors too bright/awful/distracting, click on the gear icon on the left of the page to choose your own colors for the /feed page.

Waiting…

Waiting for the car’s oil change to be finished.
Waiting for the numbness in my hand to go away.
Waiting to buy our tickets back home for the holidays.
Waiting to hear back from some co-workers.
Waiting for something…
