I'm still waiting for the new MacBook to arrive.

But!

Boom, Boom, Baby! - the inaugural Oz Big Bang challenge - is open for signups at oz_big_bang (on LJ, for those whose code is stripped or otherwise fuxxored).

ozsaur and I have been talking about this for several months, and we're cautiously - and increasingly - optimistic about the response we're going to get ( Read more... )

Benjamin, my Apple Support guy on this go-'round, pulled up the repair log on the MacBook to get the serial number, and he sounded thoroughly aghast at how extensive it's become. He even apologized, emphatically.

Which only made it worse for him when it turned out he wasn't able to help me fix whatever problem I'm currently having.

So, it's to the ( Read more... )

So, I may be sort of incommunicado for a few days - the MacBook has freaked out on me AGAIN. It was frozen - no cursor, no clock update, no nothing - when I woke it up this evening, and when I rebooted, it tried to start up, but the little pinwheel timer under the apple just kept spinning and spinning, and then it finally shut back down. It didn't ( Read more... )

Anybody know how I can get my hands on a copy of Nona Hendryx's eponymous first album (circa 1977?)

I'd like to give the woman some money, but I don't know that this album is still commercially available, so a used copy may be my only option. Although I'd like something for less than $85, I've gotta tell you.

A copy that's not on vinyl also would be ( Read more... )

The Status of DW Update that dropped into my inbox today has informed me of the existence of the dw_nifty community, which ... perhaps does not have the connotations for me, personally, that the creators of the comm intended.

I mean, I suspect I am not going to be able to find my weekly dose of big gay incest authoritarian bondage jackoff stories ( Read more... )

Flist ... Circle ... whatever y'all are called now:

When the oz_magi request period rolls around in October or November, will someone please remind me that I desperately want an Alvarez/Mukada vid set to Melissa's Etheridge's "Angels Would Fall?"

I mean, I've only wanted it for about 8 years, now, but every year, I forget at the crucial moment.

About 40 different versions of the AI fic "Woke Up Married."

Alas, there is only one, which I have to keep reading over and over and over and over. Because come on, there is nothing not awesome about a story in which a teenaged Mormon pop star and a balding Tulsa rock star wake up in Vegas, hungover and married and then are stupid about being in ( Read more... )

I ... do not think I like some of those new site icons. Including the plus-signs and such that are suddenly on my "comment on this" and other various links at the bottom of my entries. They are cartoony and busy and aesthetically displeasing to me.

Un-push, DW. D:

With the scrummaging around, looking for bits and scraps of info. And then the next thing you know, you're writing a freakin' fanfic novel about a tertiary character with four lines over the course of six seasons.

Note to self: Prisoner #99M427

Self, this one would be a bad bet. You don't even have a plot idea.

This does not mean I've made any kind of ( Read more... )
