Figaro and Picard
Figaro, my loyal desktop and one and only true love, is showing signs of age. The monitor's going wonky, perfuming the air with ozone if I operate him for any longer than an hour. I only draw on Figaro (penkeyboard restrictions), so all of a sudden I'm on a hiatus of sorts. >_<; But I'll try to finish all the art I owe, really.
Thank God my sister left Picard here, else I might be suffering from withdrawal. Of course, Picard has his own problems. For one, I realized it only had around 294 Mb of free space earlier today. No wonder Firefox lagged all the time. I can't go and change the OS (it's running on Windows XP) but I did uninstall all of those bulky Microsoft program apps and the nine episodes of Ouran lying around in the shared folder. I can survive without MS Word and the rest of the Office Suites anyway, since I only type up fics and posts on a text editor. Talk about going back to the basics!
Speaking of Windows XP : I really don't like its look. Maybe I've gotten too used to Ubuntu and Windows 2000. Everything on the desktop looks too big and glossy, and the fileview system irritates me to no end. :P Does this mean I'm a Linux girl now? I'm even so used to gedit now that I had to look for a tabbed text editor for Windows. It's a good thing I found one - Notetab Light, which is freeware. :D
Con Ass is a horrible way to shorten Constituent Assembly. [/irreverent mode on]
And a very short, crack!TS snippet for imouto, who has been a victim of the marble plaque joke for the past few days.
"Mary!" Watson ejaculated, slamming the door wide and shocking both Vera and his wife from the tea table. "Mary! And Vera! Glad you are here. Something incongrously non-Holmes has happened to our friend!"
"Was Holmes swallowed by a giant squid from that magical school he was investigating?" Mary exclaimed, whilst Vera sunk by the teaspoons and muffin tray with a distinct clatter.
"Oh, no, something infinitely more disturbing and moribund!" Watson mopped up his sweaty brow. "He has encountered a monstrous disease called Martystuus Marblus Plaqus!"
"WHAT?!" Mary's ejaculation revived Vera.
"What happened?" said Vera, and Watson ominously said, over the clatter and thuds by the stairwell, "Here he comes!"
"Vera! Oh Vera!" Sherlock Holmes, wild-eyed and slack-jawed, bore a heavy marble slab with the words "I hereby declare that I love Vera Gale with all my (in)sanity until the end of time." written in gold scrolly script.
Vera fainted anew.
THE END.And people wondered why I never wrote Sherlock Holmes fanfic.
