best of times, worst of times

+ First, a tale a woe. My laptop's display died and the laptop has been retired hurt since Friday. The technician promises that I'll have it back tonight (and he's an acquaintance, so I can trust him). It will cost me a rather hefty amount, but I really don't care at this point. I want it back!

And if that was not enough, my phone had to be reformatted yesterday, and I had to survive an ENTIRE DAY using someone else's spare handset! It was deeply distressing.

(It is possible that I have an unhealthy attachment to these electronic devices. Ahem.)

ETA: Today's Dilbert strip read my mind.

+ But meanwhile! purimgifts is live! And my author wrote me a wonderful BSG story featuring Laura and Hera! And made me shiny icons! The Next Step. You must read it at once. *g*

+ A Voice in Ramah (Welcome to Holland) by ignazwisdom: Cuddy makes a difficult, life-altering choice. The entire thing is *heartbreaking* and beautifully in character. Read it now!

So sorry about the laptop, but at least it's fixable (that's an actual word right? Not something I made up by lack of sleep and crappy english)

It is possible that I have an unhealthy attachment to these electronic devices. Ahem. There's no such thing as "unhealthy attachment" when it comes to electronics. ;)

Ok, I'm obviously reading that fic, but if I cry I'm blaming you. And since were talking about Cuddy....

No more "House" episode discussions? I'm not demanding them or anything but yours were pretty much the only ones I participated.

Ooooooooh, I almost forget... I finally watched BSG (finished the third season today), and well "frack!!" doesn't begin to cover it.

It *is* fixable! T. the technician has promised that it is!

There will be! It's just that I haven't been able to watch the episodes after 5.14 - RL has been absolutely *crazy* of late. *sigh* I was planning to watch them this evening, actually, provided something else doesn't come up.

I finally watched BSG (finished the third season today), and well "frack!!" doesn't begin to cover it.

Oooh! Isn't it just *amazing*? And now you have to mainline the fourth season, because there are EVEN MOAR 'fraks' coming up for you. *g*

Sorry to hear about your electronic woes. =( They're life's little necessities. I'd be somewhat lost without a laptop if I couldn't have it for a while.

They're all fixed now. I may have cooed over my laptop for a while.

OH, noes! I hope you get your computer (and phone) back all safe and sound.

Ooh Cuddyfic.... :D purimfics is AWESOME.

They're back, and they're fine. I can't explain how glad I am. *g*

Many, many thanks for the link to the House fic -- you don't need me to tell you what a very good story it is.

Isn't it just?
