Surprises.
While trying to make an extra Livejournal account yesterday (March 13th), I was dismayed to find that the account I had created has automatically been set to 'Plus' mode (also known as the format that is neck deep in advertisements) - and that I couldn't find the previously existing button that allowed you to degrade your account back to Basic if it was set at a higher level. After over a half an hour after picking through Livejournal's site map - and not finding anything - I quit and sent a question to the Livejournal Support Team asking what to do.
Today, on March 14th (Pi Day* and Albert Einstein's birthday!) I received the reply in the form of an e-mail, and was told that, as of March 12th - exactly one day before I attempted to make my extra account - you can no longer create Basic accounts. Ever. The irony is heavy on this. Very, very heavy. It seems that I'm stuck with 'selkath', after all.
This is also a day to remember, because it is a day that Livejournal, like many other businesses, has fallen from being a journal area made for the people to being solely for profit, and nothing more. Depressing, isn't it.

Also, on an absolutely unrelated topic:
A Chadra-Fan from the original Mos Eisley Cantina scenes, with no CGI animation, making it a bit blurry. However, ain't it cute?
* = It is Pi Day on account of it being 3/14 in the American date format and Pi being roughly 3.14. (If you didn't catch this reference the first time, welcome to the category labeled 'slow people'. Yes, I fall into that category.)
