"Last week, LJ came under attack and was down for three days. I missed it horribly; I went over to Dreamwidth, but it just wasn't the same. When LJ came up, several of my good friends posted to say how much they missed LJ, but several also posted to wonder whether this wasn't really the end for LJ, whether they wouldn't just move wholesale to DW or Twitter or Google+, for so few people post now and so few comment.

Let's make this week Show LJ Some Love Week! If a friend posts to LJ, and you've read that post, comment. Even if it's just a silly three-word comment going 'that's really hilarious!', 'your boss sucks' or 'get a divorce', show that the community's still here. I know I have many friends on my list whom I do read every day, whose lives I do know about and care about, but whom I never comment on, because it doesn't occur to me, or because I don't think I have the time, or because I'm on my iPhone and typing is a pain. This week, that's going to change. Are you in?"


hattip to [livejournal.com profile] firinel who got it from a friend who got it from someone else.


Today is full of T-storms (yay!), housecleaning (boo, but necessary), much anticipated doorstops waiting to be read (yay!), work (not objecting, it means $$), Witch finishing (ugh, but also necessary), and the squee that comes of happy tomato plants (yay!). Sticky's second tomato came off while we were repotting him; 1 day later, suddenly he has 5 itty bitty tomatoes on him. Icky still has two big 'uns but they are now turning yellow/orange and looking happy. I'm guessing in a couple of weeks I'm suddenly going to have more tomatoes than I know what to do with.

Wellp, that's enough of a break - off to finish scrubbing the kitchen and cook up some dinner.

I wish we could have a thunderstorm. We had one Saturday morning and then the humidity it produced caused a sweaty afternoon. Today it's about 112 with the heat index and it'll be worse tomorrow.

We have thunderstorms here too. Yay!

I had no idea that we were due freak thunderstorms here (I say freak because it was very sudden, and fucking torrential, sounded like it was going to cave in the roof of the store I was in at the time) - did you get hail, too?

I'm jealous of your thunderstorms. We've been deprived of rain lately and our grass is getting crunchy.

T-storms are cool.

I don't believe that you will have too many tomatoes... make salsa or sauce...

The Cape has had rain forecast for the past three or four days, but not a drop.

And the storm has arrived in Harwich.
