Dear Sunburn,

Thank you for the object lesson in proper sunscreen application, especially on my chest.

Ow,
Me



Dear Roommate,

Calling me "Fire Tits" is not funny. It isn't.

Okay, maybe it is,
Me



Dear Baby Laptop,

Thank you for dying for no reason whatsoever during Torchwood week. I DIDN'T EVEN SPILL WATER ON YOU THIS TIME. WHY THE HATE???

Speaking ill of the dead,
Me



Dear Flist,

Since I've only seen the first episode of Torchwood due to the above technical difficulties, thank you for not outright spoiling me for the rest of Children of Earth. However, I think I've reached my limit with all the mood spoilers (YES THE COLLECTIVE D FACE YOU ARE ALL MAKING- WHAT HAPPENED? NO WAIT, DON'T TELL ME. NO WAIT, I WANT TO KNOW. NO WAIT, SPOIL ME AND I WILL END YOU) so I've been absenting myself. See you on the other side after I get to watch them this weekend.

D:,
Me



Dear krazykipper,

You are sweet and awesome and I love our brains too and thank you for the virtual gift! *squishes you* There's a brain in a jar on my profile!

Braaainz,
Me



Dear People On My Flist Who Like Their Fanfic With a Side of Hookers,

In case you, like me, have lamented the lack of Hooker!Fic in Merlin fandom, lament no more! rageprufrock has your MFing back.

Hookerifically yours,
Me



Dear Shakespeare in the Park Management,

Next time it would be cool to list *both* limited distribution days on your website (which, for the record, is also shitty to navigate and generally uninformative) so people don't end up taking the day off work and waking up at 5 am to drag their hungover ass to Central Park to camp for tickets only to be told that there's no hope after the fact.

Still grumpy, DIAF,
Me



Dear Universe,

After three times of trying and failing to see Anne Hathaway and Raul Esparza in Twelfth Night, I FINALLY GET THE MESSAGE. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHY DON'T YOU RUN OVER MY DOG NEXT EXCEPT I DON'T HAVE A DOG BUT IF I DID I SUSPECT IT WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED THIS WEEK.

BOO YOU WHORE,
Fire Tits



DEAR lillianloop,

WHY AM I AT WORK AND WHY ARE YOU NOT HERE ALREADY???

ILU, KEYBOARD SMASH,
Me

From David Hewlett’s twitter:

dhewlett: Shooting the last scene, of the last episode, of Stargate Atlantis...2 more days of filming but this is it...thanks so much everyone!

*wibble*

However, I dunno, I must say that but for the Shrine, Season 5 hasn’t quite grabbed me yet, so I’m getting a little less sad that this will be the end.

Also, ( even more unpopular fannish opinion about Stargate Universe under the cut )



In other news, once my bonus comes in from work on Thursday, I’ll be getting a new laptop! Finally! Guess who managed to go over a month without a laptop? ME. Who believed I could do that without going crazy? NOT ME, actually. *surprised at self* At any rate, this might mean I post more often (haha, probably not).

Right now, I’m planning on this one. It’s lightweight, only $400, runs XP instead of Vista, and since I’ll really only be using it to a) surf the internet and b) download TV shows/movies it should serve nicely for what I can afford right now. Even though there are some complaints that the keyboard and touchpad are tiny, it’s sure as hell a step up from using my iPod touch to go online, which is what I've been doing to get by.

That said, if anyone has any other recommendations, please let me know!

So. Q & A Time:

Guess who kicked a glass of water off her nightstand the night before last while sleeping? (Me.)

And guess what was on the floor by that nightstand? (My laptop!)

And guess what piece of technology is totally dead and SOL? (You can add this one up yourself.)

Yeah, just in time for the sgabigbang to go live. I’m actually not that upset, strangely, though I’m not looking forward to the hit my savings is going to take to buy a new one (Mac? Dell?).

Part of me is interested to see if I can go without. Spend more time at home reading more books or something. (Ha, who am I kidding, if I didn’t have an iPod touch with wifi I’d be crying right now.)

Hi! I haven't been around much lately, as my hard drive crashed two weeks ago, and between one thing and Dell Technical Support Sucking Away My Will To Live another, it didn't get fixed until Wednesday, and then there was Thanksgiving. Due to awkward cubicle/computer placement, going on LJ at work was awkward and stressed me out ("Footsteps!!! Close the porn window!! Abort Abort ABORT!!!") more than anything else. On the plus side, I read a lot more books than usual.

I finally got a new hard drive over the holiday, but I did lose all my files, saved fics, vids, pieces of WIPs that were never likely to see the light of day anyway, etc. I've been building an offline fandom library for YEARS, so that's been a been a bit of a wrench, but you know, I'm feeling rather philosophical about it, most of it I can get back, and what I don't remember to track down probably wasn't worth saving just in case I get trapped some where without internet access and only my laptop for entertainment. Also, thank you, del.icio.us. And Google Docs. And that software that lets you rip music from your ipod to your computer.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and I know I update sporadically even with a working computer, but I'm not dead, and I missed you all and my icon is telling the truth for the first time in weeks and I'm very excited about new SGA this Friday and Thanksgiving was nice and yay.
