I'm reveling in the ultimate of narcissistic indulgences.

I don't really trust the internet or it's stability, nor do I have faith that LiveJournal will always remain a constant and I've occasionally fretted that due to the disappearance of one or the other I'd lose all of these thoughts and images placed here in the aether. I like looking back at random entries on occasion and have finally found a solution to my nagging concerns. Jumping fourteen years into the past and telling myself not to draw spineless molluscs for a month in 2008 didn't seem to work - actually that had the complete and utter opposite effect - I found a more practical solution.

There's this site LJBook, which turns your LiveJournal into a pdf with all comments and pictures attached. This is awesome on a scale second only to that of the adorable peeping made by a swimming baby Amazonian tree sloth.

Throw that into the print-on-demand service of lulu.com and I've got myself my very own premium issue, hard bound freshly minted turgid drama throwing back in my face what I ate, smelt like and listened to for the last five years!
My DrivelJournal as a book.

My very own eight hundred page book of tears, drunken regret and suppressed rage punctuated with art!

Welcome to 2002 :)


Aww, I'm just kidding. I did something similar with my old journal, saved all entries as text format documents in case I die and people want to create a biography of my crazy rantings.

Ah, see. I skipped 2002 all together.
And I've only just found this widget that ganks your journal and comments and images wholesale. And now it's to be a book dedicated to how totally amazing I am. You've got to understand how enabling that is compared to a text file.

See, I have not the sheer awesomeness or godlike powers that you do to have my pithy little thoughts committed to indelible ink and fine, acid free paper. You are a god among men, Mr. James.

You have heard a baby Amazonian tree sloth swimming? This is... unusual! (And sounds like awesome.)

Just once on a documentary. It was swimming through the mangroves and it sounded like a baby bird.

Haha! I suppose you could edit the pdf later... but still - junk kicks: unpleasant!

Cool! It's a great service, even if the radio buttons don't all work so well in Safari...
