Lots of memes as well as some other updates

Ganked from many people on my flist...
If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Also ganked from lots of people on my flist...

List 10 or so.. of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, and if they're so inclined, to draw conclusions about you based on the patterns they've spotted.

Code Geass - Suzaku Kururugi
Gundam 00 - Saji Crossroad
Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series - Marik Ishtar
Sengoku Basara - Sanada Yukimura
CCS (and prob Tsubasa as well) - Syaoran(s?)
X - Kamui Shirou, and Yuzuriha Nekoi
Prince of Tennis - Fuji Yuuta
Gundam Seed - not Destiny since I don't really like anyone in actual Destiny Kira Yamato
Clamp Campus Detectives/20 Mensou - Akira Ijyuin
Princess Tutu - Fakir

Personally, I don't think it's that hard to see the connections, but that could just be me.

Things have been busy here. I managed to injure my hand in CA and I've had some unpleasant adventures with trying to get my car fixed and inspected. ;;_;; I have been taking garden pictures but have not been good about editing them. It makes me think I need a Flickr account just to make the uploading easier. >>; The green beans and scarlet runner beans are doing amazing and I'm excited to be eating fresh and local produce finally. I also now own my own dehydrator. It is made of win.

Other thoughts...

Does anyone on my flist know how to rip a R2 DVD onto your hard drive? I want to convert it to some other formats so I can share if with those people who do not have code-free DVD players. namely my in-laws

I'm addicted to The Comics Curmudgeon thanks to ee970
