Sep. 26th, 2011 02:38 pmSince the last time I posted my computer went away, and then came back actually working. Also, sucky things kept happening rl wise which I may talk about in a locked post later, but not now.
I'm a couple of weeks behind fandom wise, so catch me up. Has there been interviews posted I need to see? Have you posted something I need to read or see? Anything important happened in your life? Normally I'd read back and catch up/comment but at this point that would be insane, so you know, feel free to link, don't be shy.
I've also got an insane amount of new tv to watch, starting with Project Runway as that's the show I always get spoiled on for some reason.
Also, I have a question for anyone that uses thunderbird as their email client. I had to reinstall it and when I did so any comments from LJ show the same display name -- and of someone who hasn't actually communicated with me for years for that extra annoying touch. It's not really that huge of a deal because I do read them all anyway, but at the same time, I much prefer to know who I'm about to read before I actually open the comment. Any ideas how to fix this? I've tried messing with display settings but am getting nowhere.

_bettina_ is awesome and has told me how to fix the issue.

ladyfoxxx wrote me hot Mikey/Pete porn for her time stamp meme. Go read and tell her she's awesome.

Date: 2011-10-02 11:50 am (UTC)Also, thank you for the offer for TB help. Bettina managed to sort out what was wrong, apparently I'd replied to a LJ comment by hitting the reply by email button by accident, causing TB to match that person to every LJ comment and therefore display their name for every comment. It was very annoying.

Date: 2011-09-26 02:02 pm (UTC)As for Thunderbird, I had the same problem. What it did for me was that the LJ email address (lj_notify@livejournal.com) was in my address book with the display name "lj comment" so all the comment notifications were displayed with that.
Delete that address from your address book or alternatively click on the yellow star next in the header of the email notifications and delete it there. Once deleted, all the email notifications should have the LJ name + lj comment as the display name.
What I found out is that when you hit "reply" on an email it automatically gets added to your address book. So maybe, once upon a time you did that with a lj comment and just changed the email address in the header or something.

Date: 2011-09-26 02:47 pm (UTC)In bandom news, there was an interview with the boys and a cute video of Frank but I'm guessing you'll see those on
I want to make sure you see Frank dressed up as Dracula though: 1, 2, 3.
I posted nothing too interesting, but I did (re?) post the recordings of me playing/singing 2 Hush Sound songs: Hurricane & You are the moon if you're interested in listening!
In RL news, I'm back from the wedding weekend, which was awesome! And... nothing else happened *g*
no subject
Date: 2011-10-02 12:55 pm (UTC)I do go to that comm, but I liked knowing what to look for, so thank you!
And thank you for linking to those Frank pictures. They're awesome.
Also, for linking to your own stuff, which I'm off to check out now.

Date: 2011-09-26 03:43 pm (UTC)in bandom, I think you need to know that these things happened:
and
when you pick yourself up off the floor from that, let me know.
in the meantime, I made this post, which is semi-media heavy and full of...interesting stuff? I dunno.
I also found Jade Puget's twitter. I dunno if you follow AFI or Blaqk Audio at all, but his tweets are hilarious.
and finally, Pete Wentz did a podcast that I really think everyone should listen to because it's so sweet.
:D?
