Random fanfic snippet.
Minerva reached out to touch the woman's scarlet hair. "I'm afraid you'll be rather conspicuous if you venture out among the other humans of the village. I don't suppose you have some sort of disguising magic prepared?"

Since my netbook is getting obsolete (4GB of internal SSD memory does not help when the latest Ubuntu Netbook Remix requires 4.2GB or so), and the battery is dying horribly (from 6-8 hours of function to 30 minutes), I'm looking to replace it. It's been with me for about five years, so it's probably time. And I've had so much use out of it that I ( Read more... ) -

Providing more evidence that this has not been a good year for my family, my mother had to have surgery to remove her gall bladder due to stones. This was also why the earlier musing about Anime Festival Asia 2011 turned out to be moot anyway ( Read more... ) -
You have unleashed the Sands of Time.
Firefox updating to 8.0 has broken Deepest Sender again. Well, not "broken", but more of disabling until DS gets updated to work on the new major version number. I don't know why this requirement is in place, other than a sideways attempt to make sure that addons are being actively updated ( Read more... )
