Tech Support? RSS Feeds?

I need some help subscribing to feeds.

I tried to subscribe to a couple before, but I don't think I did it correctly. I got a rush of entries, then nothing since.

Now I can't even find the LJ page for adding a feed. All I can find is a question about how to read your own journal via feed.

Help?

Wedding Congratulations

May you have many joyous years together!

I actually feel much better than this, but I thought the icon was great and wanted to share.

I love LJ icons, but can't use all the ones I like.

Watching "Bones"

After some internal debate, I invited Wolfling to watch Bones with me last week. I had hesitated because it's a murder mystery show, so it highlights some of the worst that humanity is capable of, and also because each week's episode features at least one set of graphically depicted human remains in various states of decomposition. They don't dwell on them to an unreasonable degree, but it's still not pleasant.

However, Wolfling has all the signs of becoming a natural scientist, and she doesn't get disturbed by Animal Planet or Discovery Channel shows that I have to turn away from, so I thought I'd invite her to join me, with a disclaimer that if it bothered her we'd turn it off.

She's unfazed by the remains -- "Great special effects," she says with a shrug -- and loves the characters and the puzzles. So we've been watching it together. We don't have a lot of things we enjoy together, so it's nice to share this. The show also provides any number of opportunities for teaching moments, espeically in the area of safety ("This is why you have to be careful even if someone seems nice!") and romantic/sexual relationships.

In some ways it's like watching Firefly together. That show also had its rough moments, and it didn't shy away from depicting grown-up sexuality -- but the violence wasn't glamorized, and I liked the way it showed a variety of ways people could enjoy and express what I consider to be healthy sexuality.

The only problem is that when she spends the weekend with her dad, I don't feel like I can watch by myself! I want to wait until she gets home, so we can watch them together.

Oh well. . . as I found out after Christmas: this isn't a show I should watch a lot of on my own anyway. There's too much tragedy and grief woven into the stories.
