I have a like/hate relationship with my recs site. I like it because it's useful to have all of my recs in one place, I hate it because it's completely unsearchable and I wish it could be more organized. So I pretty much spent the weekend being bludgeoned by efiction and mysql and mods to turn efiction into a recs engine and just. I cannot do it. It was too much for me. Seriously. I'm giving up. If any of you are better at this than I and feel like lending a hand I would totally love you forever. And possibly mail you chocolates (or cookies!)

In fact, the only thing that gave me any hope at all was when I gave up and started working on a news updates page for the website for the infoshop I helped start; and wordpress is incredibly simple to install and modify and at least now I don't feel like a complete failure at all this database driven website stuff.

Although dude. I totally accidentally came out (as a slasher/complete and utter fangeek) when I emailed the test wordpress site to the other guy who does the infoshop's website. I totally didn't even think about the fact that I was testing it on my fannish website. Ooops?

Completely unrelated, I saw the movie Brick the other day and loved it. It seems like one of those movies that people are either going to love or hate. It's really stylized. I've been calling it surrealist noir. It's a noir style drama set in high school in this incredibly dark version of California. My friend and I thought it was rad but someone else in the theatre left partway through. Either way, the previews don't really do it justice but if you've ever liked noir or detective movies or indie movies in general, you'll probably appreciate the movie for what it is.

Also, this is a little late but I wanted to wish one of my favorite ljers a happy birthday, so: Happy Birthday saturn92103!
