Just a couple of pics from a stop at the Cleveland, TN Salvation Army today.


( ... plus one )

A couple of weeks ago, I decided on a whim to check out the Salvation Army down the street... at 4:55, when they close at 5. Not my smartest impulse, but it did yield a few shots.

The empire strikes back

In recent weeks, we've taken huge steps towards blocking spam accounts on LiveJournal. In fact, we've suspended as many as 30,000 accounts in a single day! We've implemented several pre-emptive measures to prevent the creation of spam accounts, and we've honed our detection of suspicious content. Spam bots are a crafty lot, so we'll continue to refine our tactics and keep up the good fight to keep you safe from spam attacks on LiveJournal.

RSS feeds again

If you're addicted to xkcd_rss, icanhaschzbrgr, or other syndicated feeds, we're pleased to report that we've resolved the update error that was mucking up your RSS feeds. While content was being pulled correctly, it wasn't being posted to the feeds themselves. Late last week, we finally nailed down what we hope was the root problem, so content should post properly. We thank you for your patience.

Complete crack fic but adorable all the same. I hate to see this community inactive for so long so I finally cracked and decided to post something random. This originally started as an AU idea with fantastical-like creatures: vamps,werewolves, shapeshifters... etc. Anyway, a friend and I decided that Marco as a lion shapeshifter was too good to pass up and she and I did a little thing with her OC Tomo (bass tech) and Marco in a situation with the lion part of him. Hope you enjoy the cuteness, which by the way is very different from my usual smut galore. :)

Oh and I believe there are a few Japanese words in it because Tomo uses both it and English as she choses.

To start, three icons for you.
Want, take, use, credit.
