Tweaks and enhancements

• As a number of you reported, a service interruption impaired sending and receiving notifications for a couple of days. This was due to an avalanche of snowflake cookies. We've removed the free snowflake cookie and unclogged the pipeline. Timely notifications should resume shortly. Please note that there's a backlog in our queues, so you'll be getting earlier notifications first. For more details, check out this post at lj_maintenance.
• In anticipation of the new year, we've embarked on a self-improvement kick to boost our backend (pun semi-intended). This will allow us to offer you a holiday promotion in the next few weeks (yes, we're listening and working very hard to make it happen). We sincerely appreciate your continued patience and support.

Holiday vgifts are here!

We've added some fantastic new vgifts to help you spread holiday cheer. We also hope you'll honor AIDS Awareness Month by purchasing virtual red ribbons. Priced at $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to support the development and global distribution of an affordable HIV vaccine.

Introducing: LJLimericks

We cordially here do invite you
To craft a fine limerick. Might you?
Each week, a new theme,
Then a poll, that's our dream
Winner posted on news to delight you!

In honor of all the brilliant writers on LiveJournal, we've created a brand new community: ljlimericks! Each week, we'll enter a handful of limericks into a poll (which we'll tuck snugly under an LJ-Cut). The winning poem will be published in the following newsletter. In addition, the author will receive a virtual blue ribbon! If you have the time, come drop us a rhyme. Please keep the "Nantucket" stuff on the downlow, since this is a youth-friendly community. Our first prompt is: Insomnia in winter.

Photos of the week

We're back with more incredible images from our global photography community. Congratulations to sempre_marseeya, who has been awarded a virtual blue ribbon as the winner of our second lj_photophile poll.

We hate to squelch your creativity, but, as a courtesy to other users, please post only one photo at a time and keep the main photo no larger than 350x350 (so images display properly via mobile and on friends pages). You can link to a larger image and/or post photos under a cut. Just so you know, we select photos for the poll blindly, based on user comments and staff feedback. Please continue to vote, comment, and, of course, enjoy. You can check out the week in pictures and view more awesome user content after the jump!

Thanks, again, for joining us. Stay warm and safe out there!

next movie: beasts! celebi! and an EVIL ASH LIKE THE ONE FROM THE PYRAMID EPISODE!! yay!

Good quality trailer is up on filb: http://www.filb.de/1205



It's called...

The Ruler of Illusion: Z
幻影の覇者 Z

i made this shitty recording if you dont wanna go to filb-->


Now let's see what idiotic translations serebii and bulbagarden make up this time :P Because last year was a riot! :D Never forget Towards Overcome's Spacetime!!

NEWS!: serebii says "Phantom Champion Z". 幻影 could mean phantom or illusion, but the word phantom in english makes one think of a ghost or a spook, when the real meaning is closer to the english word illusion (this is my gut feeling). also i picked ruler because champion also has other meanings in pokeuniverse (again, it could mean either). please feel free to comment with opinions if you think my japanese is sucks ;D i'll probably only believe akibare's opinion on this tho if she comments with it. *slow head turn and stare*

well, i applaud you joe, for not calling it Z Phantom's Champion :D

A stunning collection of images sure to delight anyone with a penchant for architectural elements, this talented community, largely from New York, is hoping to attract new members from around the world. Featuring an eclectic variety of photos depicting doors, windows, and walls, there's an interesting balance of interior and exterior shots, many from urban streets, some from ramshackle rural farmhouses. Wonderful!

GET!!!



AAAAAAAAAH!!!


( to be displayed with the other BEST POSTER EVER )

when i go back to america in february i am getting medicine for anxiety.

i cant handle it anymore. it's at the point where i have to stick my fingers in my ears and go "lalalalala" over half the stuff happening at any give time just to stop my chest from tightening, my stomach feeling like i'm going to vomit constantly, my heart racing, being unable to walk or move, all from the panic i feel over things that are either not happenig or are none of my god damn buisness.

what choices my friends make bad or good (in my opinion) is none of my buisness.

and i shouldn't be collapsing from terror over slightly late or potentially late packages, potentially sold out items i confirmed aren't sold out, having 21 people wanting a giant eevee i severely undercharged for, and other various stupid crap.

it's all stupid crap.

nobody is dead, the bills are mostly paid, everyone's stuff is mailed, none of the stuff that might be sold out is paid for or reserved.

i am so tired of constantly feeling like i am having a heart attack over NOTHING. NOTHING is wrong. nothing i SHOULD be worried about (grades for example) is even panicking me. nope, it's crap like "what if people are sad i can't carry more than 5 lifesize eevee plush and what if i can't find a locker to put them in in ikebukuro before i go and see Up".

it's just not heart-attack worthy...you know?

lol

okay time for customs forms. on all of them.

tomorrow morning the last of the original eevee collection orders (yeah this is only half the orders i had total) go out.

then it begins all over again @___@

:D

nejiki study and IDfuckingknow what part of my brain the second one came from, probably the part that is stupid :D

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:

look at this right now. this is what you SHOULD have done two summers ago, POKECENTER/BANPRESTO/BUNCHOFJERKS. You made me sit here waiting excitedly for the news of ~magnezone plush~ and you FAILED. failures!! you could have given cute magnezones to all the childruns and you are fail!!

this is win. this is what should have been. it's what i waited for. char makes my dreams come true!!



NOW YOU LOVE STEEL TYPES TOO!!!

here i am 2 AM the day of eevee collection run and i cant sleep because bon's friend from osaka is here and they are so loooooooooooud why dont musicians sleep like regular people why dont musicians know 2 AM is not normal :( bawwwwwwwwwwww and even when i was asleep and before he got home (she got here first around midnight and was just playing with mabo) i kept getting woken up by stuff and things that made me feel really crappy in general and bad :( waaaah!

so in short: waaaaaaaaaaaah

on the plus side i'm letting osaka girl have the bottom bunk so i'm taking top bunk with all my pokeydolls, my first time sleeping up there since i increased pokedoll life, so far they are very cooperative and dont get kicked! i put the rarest ones on top of raichu pillow so they dont get injured or bent tags and can snuggle DX plusle. yay.


okay time to try again!! and snuggle my pokeydolls until bon comes up maybe at 5 AM! MUSICIANS!! but i won't lecture him, he sees this friend twice a year and shes real awesome and a good singer so i'm not mad at him for staying up late with a friend, i'm just sad at the timing of lots of things that seem to be making an attempt on my sanity when eevee collection sadly already took it from me XD


EDIT: sleep's not working and also my living room i carefully cleaned for eevees is all a mess now BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Thanks, again, for joining us. Stay safe and snug out there!

thank you, thank you, we'll be here all week.



for those curious, the one japanese bidder's high bid was 610 yen. which is almost close to the original market value. of all of these stamps put together. our motto is truely, "something is only worth what someone will pay for it".

i knew he was gonna ditch gliscor. ahh well. and of course bulbagarden is freaking the shit out over it and causing ten pages of wank!! why do i even look!!

EDIT: no seriously, why do i ever go there? oh right, it's ALMOST funny how they never fail to be assholes! :(

posted by heerosferret: "here comes gible, so excited! :D"
instant classy bulbagarden member replies: "No, it sucks."

such a nice and welcoming place! rotfl. you stay shitty forever, bulbaforums. and i love how the mod told me off for mentioning gible in a thread for an ep that didnt have gible (no seriously it was my bad) but didn't tell off the person who was a dick. seriously, shittiest place on earth. i'm glad the community i admin has basic penalties for being utter dicks to each other (and we also have rules against insulting a pokemon someone likes - imagine that! bulbaforums would stop existing with rules in place for politeness and kindness).

EDITEDIT: bulbagarden was already defended in the comments so if you need clarification on my feelings of frustration you can just click here!


back on track, WHY play kaze to issho ni!! don't spoil that childhood song of mine from an amazing movie for another cheap throwing away your pokemon moment!!

and to add insult to injury ash kept mentioning how good glion is in gym battles and then they replayed bastiodon getting its butt kicked by the damn thing.



whatever, byron (my waifu) and i are happy its gonenevermind, the more i think about it the more i realize he was really cute and sweet :( SIGH pokemon throw away eps blow. anyway gible is cute and i'm excited to see ash use his gible against volkner's team, since i always kill volkner with my garchomp. let's dance for gible in sunyshore!

dance waifu!!




ALSO I LOVE GIBLE LOTS.

no i won't cut this entry!

gaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhnnngghhh!!HUehuwgitrhtjhgjhjsjhjaaaaaahhh
