mamajoanI am not participating in tomorrow's protest action (whereby, if you haven't heard, LJ users are being exhorted not to post or comment, by way of trying to make a "statement" to the new LJ owners about their recent actions).
I gave it a lot of thought, but it boils down to...I can't see much sense or purpose in protesting the removal of the "Basic" account option. Yes, they did it in a slimy underhanded way, and yes there are many things about the Russian takeover of LJ that bother me and make me nervous...but this protest just doesn't feel like the right way to address it all.
That said, I have a busy day at work tomorrow and might not end up posting anyway. heh. But here are a few tidbits I wanted to mention, in case I don't get the chance:
* today I had a minor panic over the fact that Ruthie's birthday party is Saturday and I hadn't gotten her anything. So I ran out to the toy store (once again the joys of working in Harvard Square!) and got her a book and a cute toy broom, because she looooves trying to sweep with my broom and it is a severe hazard when she swings that handle around. ;) I still want to get her a play kitchen, but no way is that going to happen between now and Saturday, ah well.
* ever since![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
abbylee confirmed for me that the Cadbury Creme Eggs sold in the US differ from the ones I remember from my childhood, I've been pining for the "real" kind. It seems that as of a few years ago, Cadbury started outsourcing the US production of the eggs to Hershey, which is when the eggs decreased in size and, if you ask me, quality. So I was pondering whether it would be feasible to ask one of my many online pals in Canada or the UK to send me some. But then I remembered, again, that I work in Harvard Square! Where we have Cardullo's! Which sells every conceivable kind of foreign chocolate imaginable, at a ridiculous markup. Anyway, so I went there today and got two "REAL" Cadbury Creme Eggs, with "Made in England" right on them. For $1.19 each, but ah well. Anyway, I haven't tried them yet but shall of course keep you posted. ;)
* Ruthie's constipation trouble is back with a vengeance. :( Luckily her 2-year checkup is next week, and I shall definitely be asking our new doctor to help us out here.
* um, I think there was one more but can't remember it now, oops. ah well.
