Blade Runner, Weddings, Election 2007, Online Modifications
Excellent weekend; started Friday eve with Blade Runner: The Final Cut at the Astor with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
imajica_lj, kremmen, hathhalla, ser_pounce, caseopaya and Michael C. all in attendance. The new, digitally-enchanced film has a few minor modifications, perhaps most notable being the extra crowd scenes and the original, more graphic (but not gratuitious), violence. Personally, I still think it's a little weak on that regard, but overall it is still one of the greatest films of all time.
On Saturdayseverina_242 and _zombiemonkey did the marriage thing, at the Old Treasury Building. Unsurprisingly, they both looked fantastic in their Victorian-era clothing and with their many Goth-type friends, it was all a very appropriate scene. Small dinner gathering afterwards at Pure South was likewise enjoyable. The setting a little modern for my tastes, but with excellent food. Didn't go to the "drinks and dancing" afterwards, but I'm sure it went well. Congratulations to both of you...
Following the Auditor-General's porkbarreling revelations, an assesment shows the Coalition election campaign has been a debacle from start to finish. Just when you think they couldn't get worse, last night Howard brought out the most brain-damaged policy for the entire campaign. Meanwhile, AWA's in action: when you have few buyers of a product and many sellers the price goes down. That's what happens to hospitality and retail wages.
In recent weeks, I've ditched my membership to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
libertarianism and anarchists. With the former convinced I am some sort of communist and the latter convinced that am sort sort of capitalist and one full of aggressive frat-boys and the other full infantile punks, it is far better to spend time in the quieter, more mature, more pragmatic, socialists community. On a similar angle, having reached the point of boredom on Warbook and frustrated with Scrabulous timing out, I've ditched all my Facebook applications. Suddenly... I have more time.

It has apps like Warbook and Scrabble. Livejournal doesn't.
LJ's killer app is the friends list. I haven't seen any other social networking site which allows you to keep in touch with what other people are doing in such a easy and unobtrusive manner.

It's also not used by people to advertise. It's less well known, and better off for it...

True; but when ads are introduced they are annoying.
Quiet, softly, text-based, low-bandwith.. They're the ads I like.
Which makes many wonder why I have a yahoo! account. Damn gummy bear.

That's pretty much my reasoning as well. I've had it for so long that it just sits there and bubbles away....

Although I do intensely dislike MySpace,with it's whole 'you're gonna listen to what I like whether you want to or not' feature.

In terms of "social networking" sites Livejournal is still potentially the best; if they could integrate Facebook-like apps and change their membership it would be excellent.
