Yes, I still plan to use LJ's Scrapbook. For some reason, LJ makes it possible to hotlink. I figure I use a tiny portion of the space I paid for and LJ allows me to use it like a Photobucket account so I do.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. The last couple of weeks have really sucked but life goes on, you know? Something about LIMS plays havoc with my life. The finals of the first round coincided with my two weeks of non-electricity following Hurricane Ike; this round's finals coincided with the death of a 16-year relationship. I don't look upon the start the third round with unabashed joy, I gotta admit, irrational though I know it is. :)
