Ok, now *that* is weird...

Seems Livejournal is mirrored to mylj.ru.

try entering http://[user]/mylj.ru and see what you get (for example, http://kengr/mylj.ru )

Anime Music video from hell...

I Wish I Was A Lesbian

Do I have to tell you it's not worksafe?

(The images are mostly fine, but I don't think the lyrics would go over well at most jobs :-)

Modern technology...

... gets weird.

I just got off the phone with a friend in Aberdeen Wa. She was calling to try to figure out what exactly was going on in her area.

You see, the big storm that hit the Oregon & Washington coast over the weekend and is only now starting to die out had kicked out their power this morning. And even though they have a battery powered radio for emergencies, they couldn't pick up any stations that had any info.

But they still had phone service so they called me.

After some digging, I was able to tell them that their county and an adjacent county are without power, and there's no estimate on when it'll be restored. Mostly because *all* the roads into the area are either flooded, blocked by fallen trees or have downed power lines.

Ya gotta love it. Calling almost 200 miles to find out about *local* conditions...
