"I should be irked currently, yes?"
Today was kinda not fun, though it wasn't completely horrible...just not exactly enjoyable, you know??
Biggest unfun thing - Lord Danny, as expected, went belly up on my today. Actually, he still turns on and the lovely little Toshiba logo screen comes up, but after that it's nothing. It still on and running, but nothing shows up on the screen. I'm thinking hard drive owies. I had my initial flip out over it (i mean, after all, Lord Danny is my BABY...he owns my life!), and am pretty chill about the whole thing now. He will be going to the computer doctors tomorrow to see what the diagnosis is...I'm trying to be both positive/negative about it because it could be nothing or I could lose everything on the laptop.
Before you ask, NO, I never had enough time to get stuff backed up on there. So if all goes not well, all of my pics will be gone. I can take comfort in the fact that my con pics are safely in the hands of another, and that a lot of the stuff on there I'm sure can be found again. But there's personal pics (from my graduation, of various kittehs, etc.) that could very well be gone forever. Not fun.
So as of this moment, I have hijacked Madre's laptop (with permission, of course). Hoping I shouldn't have to be using it for long, but you know how unpredictable these things are.
In good news, got a lovely incense burner and weird little pillow thing from dvshipper !! The are all the way fromj merry ol' London, which is awesomesauce. If you want to see a pitiful pic of them, there's one in the twitpost. I'll try and get around to taking cooler, better pics of the gifts and posting them. I have the next three days off, so it should be possible! XP
And in completely unbelievable news, there was some drunk idiot who came in the store today. He went into the back, in the warehouse, and took a frelling PISS! Jessie found him in there and he was like 'the girl told me I could come back here and go pee.' Jessie told him 'Yeah, in the BATHROOM down the hallway!' Unbelievable. They just get dumber around here with each passing day (Jessie said this to me, so it's not just an 'outsider pov' kind of thing). And you know what I thought of later? Kids, this is why you don't drink and go grocery shopping! *snirk*
Now I think I'll be off for the night. I'm not sure if I wanna work on fic (b/c that's ALWAYS possible whether you have your computer, another's, or a pen and some paper!) or go to bed. Hmmmmmm.

P.S. - If I had to enter any of my vids into the Creation Con vid contest for Chicago, which would you recommend (I Want Candy is NOT an option, for obvious reasons). I would love to use one of my teamy vids, but I only have Stand and At Universe's End. So what do you guys think?? I'd like to have it shipped out to them by July 1st (and I would LOVE to make a new one, but it's not likely with Lord Danny being out for the count right now...unless Madre has WMM on here. B/c you know all my vid clips are on my flashdrives, NOT Lord Danny...).
