Huh.

I seem to have got something on magatsu.net linked from a Russian fic site named snapetales.com (whose banner features Snape, Captain Jack Sparrow, and someone I feel I ought to recognize but don't), but as it's all in Cyrillic, I have no idea what. I don't think they're hotlinking a picture, it's probably one of the generators, but I can't tell for sure, as the referer just goes to the main page there. Living in the future is interesting, yesno?

Last night's Trazodone dream:

Not quite as spectacular as the two previous nights. Er, well, I think when I say "spectacular," I mean "spectacular and interesting to me," as there were large sets and lots of fire. It had something to do with a giant auditorium in a mall, with large monsters kind of like fantasy-RPG dragons, in that they were four-legged and breathed fire, but they weren't dragons. They were large, and out in the audience, balancing on the seats, and breathing fire at the stage, and setting the whole place on fire.

I think that Project Runway was having a show there, actually.

Anyway, I got out of there, and at one point was with a few other people outside the auditorium and looking back at it on fire - it must have been at least partially open-air as we could see the stage - and helped other people get out of there, and then there were firefighters coming in. And at some point, I was out in the mall that the auditorium was attached to, where there were punks (as in people into the punk scene, not as in "You little punk!") on roller skates.

And then I woke up at 5:20 and never really got back to sleep, because I think I took the Trazodone too early last night. In an attempt to make it easier to wake up in the morning, I figured if I took the Trazodone earlier, it'd wear off earlier. It did. Too early. It will take a while to work out the right time to take it. Eating has a lot to do with it, too - I took it right before I made dinner (large bucket o'popcorn, because I spent all evening in frustration wrestling with iTunes to GIVE ME BACK MY PLAYLISTS AND TRACKS after the most recent update), and that was a Bad Idea - I almost passed out before I could get the popcorn made. But once I ate, I woke up. So: eat dinner earlier, take Trazodone a bit later, but not too late.


ETA: Does anyone have a clue how to rename tags? I keep trying, but it doesn't work. I pick the tag I want to rename from the list in the Tag Management page, then type the new name in, and click Rename, and it completely ignores me.

isn't the third person Charlize Theron (sp?)? No idea in which movie, though. So no help at all here.

Have the same problem with renaming tags. It works that way when the new name doesn't exist already, but if i want to rename two different tags into one new name, it works with the first one, but not with the second because the name already exists. So I have to go to each post that contains that tag individually and edit the tag in each and every post. Frustrating as hell. :(

Ack, phooey. I've got "dream" and "dreams" as tags and wanted to combine them, but I'll have to edit them individually, it looks like. :P

I hope it's just my Lj ignorance that works against me... will keep searching for another solution, because editing those posts one by one is seriously annoying my rsi-inflicted wrist. :(

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-02-28 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
:(

I only had 7 to edit, so I just went and did that, but I've got enough tags like "death note" and "death_note" that I want to combine, that a better solution would be wonderful.

merging tags

[identity profile] pir-anha.livejournal.com 2008-02-28 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
no, it's not _your_ LJ ignorance, it's LJ's ignorance working against common sense. because nobody would ever want to MERGE tags, would they. or at the very least get an informative error message.

you cannot merge tags at this time, which means you cannot rename a tag to a name that already exists. there is no better solution other than changing the tag on each entry that uses it.

:D Thanks! I'll keep on hoping common sense will someday finally enter the LJ building, then.

Hopefully it'll show up sometime, then. :D

I can't get the tags renamed either. Drives me nuts.

[identity profile] meganbmoore.livejournal.com 2008-02-28 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
LJ and I have had many arguments over it not letting me merge tags. But yeah, if you have a tag already, you can't rename things by that tag, and you can't rename two tags at once.

Because, you know, that's something people would never ever want to do, and if they did want to do it, they would never want to to be easy.

If you want to know what the site says, I can try and read some of it for you. I'm only taking Russian in school, but I could try and puzzle it out.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-02-28 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're willing to try, go right ahead. Although I ph33r the fangirl-Russian that might be in there, when you look at the fangirl-English on sites like ff.net. XD

Oh yeah! Remember the 11111-in-Russian thing? Where people (like me) who had schoolbook Russian couldn't figure it out because they were spelling "one" in Russian phonetically?

XDDDD

Anyway, the site just seems to be a fansite complete with fanfiction and fanart. the sentence on top says: "Story, which was told to us before (?) (some word I don't know) by the professor of (something) Severus Snape." Maybe. I'm sorry for the rough translation but I just don't understand some of the words and I can't find it in my dictionary. There are several fandoms represented in the fics, like Buffy, Jane Austen and Harry Potter. There's some more stuff, and even a FAQ, but I'd have to look at it later to understand it more.

Interesting, huh. Thanks. :D

Wonder what made them link to me?

Well, it does have some anime fandoms-I spotted Bleach and Weiss Kreuz. Maybe it's cuz of that?

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
They'd have to be either hotlinking a piece of art, or linking to one of the generators, so it's a bit more complicated than that. :D

Huh ... what the dream machine at lifetreks.com said:


Dragon Dream contained: dragons

Dragons symbolize issues of long standing.
Fire Dream contained: fire

Fire represents consuming feelings, situations, and a sense of intensity about some life situation.
Mall Dream contained: mall

Malls represent the social environment.
Monster   Dream contained: monsters

Monsters usually represent a side of your personality.
Stage Dream contained: stage

A stage reflects a situation of exposure.


Um ... like, maybe you're sick of being exposed to the noise from upstairs, so you've decided to torch that whole situation and go play with your friends?



Certainly that's much more interesting than anything my subconscious has shown me for quite a while!

Hee. :D I should transcribe the one wrote down in 1994 and let you and that site loose on it. XD

I sometimes game it a little when I use it, because I know it'll only give up to 6 symbols, and I already know some of them. (And then I feel bad, because they are using these for a study, supposedly, and here I am judiciously editing the dreams and making up a certain amount of the other information they ask for ... but they've got to be including a fudge factor or two, given that they've posted this thing openly on the Intarwebs and aren't demanding anything like an e-mail address for verification.)
