Paranoia

Everybody's LJ will load but mine. Does this have anything to do with the guys who've been hacking into my files and putting malware there, in spite of unguessable passwords? Or the three Russian spam blogs that hit random tanbi entries on Sunday? Argh.

Oh, OK-- now incandescens' & petronia's LJs load, but none of my other friends'. Oh them wacky Russians, I suppose.

But I can still post, as you see.

As long as I do it from someone else's user info. Curse LJ's new style, because I used to be able to do it from comments.

In my daily blog reading, Aaronovitch has useful advice on dieting. He's losing slower than our mayor, but then our mayor is a loser. Stephen Pentz has some musical commentary I agree with.

For instance, I am willing to acknowledge (albeit reluctantly) that people are entitled to believe that "Imagine" is John Lennon's best song, and that it provides a possible blueprint for reality. (I, on the other hand, would opt for "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," "If I Fell," or a dozen or so other of his songs.)
