sparklyglee and computer woes
All you writerly people: go claim a prompt on the
sparklyglee popslash happyfic challenge! There are 144 prompts in total and so far only eight of them have been claimed. Now is the time to get your favourite prompt before it's gone! There are a lot of brilliant ideas to pick from but should you choose to take a stab at JuC/Lamp I would love you forever and ever and EVER. You have until the 30th June to write 1000 words and the stories will be posted by the 2nd of July.
The fabulous
turps33 is also thinking about running a pop fandom appreciation challenge. Go and tell her what an excellent idea it is!

I fell asleep last night in the middle of coming up with my last
sparklyglee prompt. In and of itself that's nothing special, but the first thing I saw this morning when I logged on to my computer was a google search of the phrase gnome spanking. :-) I have no memory of ever writing that but I the fact is I did. I seriously do not want to know what was going through my head at the time. Thankfully at least the first few pages are full of links talking about the "brand spanking new" Gnome software and thus my mind was allowed to stay intact. If there are people spanking gnomes somewhere out there - I don't want to know, okay? Okay.

Also, if I'm a little absent this week it's because my computer is a useless lump in need of repair. The cd/dvd-drive is supposed to be compatible with all possible recording formats and so far it has played anything I've tried. Annoyingly enough, it completely refuses to record on dvd-r. The firmware is updated, I've tried using several different brands and it still won't work. *suppresses rage* The Fujitsu Siemens tech support guy was both sympathetic and fast in getting back to me and said that they'd replace the cd/dvd-drive. The repair company is close by and I'll be dropping off my computer there first thing tomorrow morning. I'm no longer full of rage at the stupid lump of plastic that won't do what it's bloody supposed to - but still - I WON'T HAVE MY COMPUTER FOR DAYS. What if they fuck it up for good? What if they decide to eat it or use it for paintball target practice? Woe.
