one seems to hear words of good cheer from everywhere

So... I felt really good on Thursday and Friday. I'm guessing it was the ketamine that they used to knock me out for surgery, because I have NEVER felt that un-depressed.

Just making a note of it.

(Edit: something really shitty happened on Friday that I'm not prepared to talk about yet, so this isn't the fairest trial, but the reasonable moods continue fairly unabated as of yet.)

nothing could bring me near

Facepalming all over the place.

It doesn’t take much time on self-help-oriented web sites before one’s i.p. address is registered and tracked by something as innocuous-sounding as a ‘cookie’, and the person owning the computer is officially tagged as one of THOSE people—someone who is desperate for relief from a horrible condition, who is tired of the failures of modern medicine, and who is starting to wonder if anything will help.  Talk about ripe for the picking—and in no time, the spam e-mails begin to appear.

The sheer technical wrongness of this is of such a magnitude I don't even know where to start correcting it.

I turn to my computer like a friend.

Massive security breach at LJ.

As soon as this is over, I'm deleting all former entries from my LJ and I will stop crossposting. This is completely unacceptable.
