New Laptop
I finally replaced my old laptop after its sad death a few weeks ago. The new laptop's name is Starr, because reasons (Power Girl and Emily of New Moon, if you really want to know).
I'm writing this in the dark (because the lights were Keeping My Parents Awake, in a separate room which has a door) while waiting for Microsoft Office to download (it claims 20 minutes, but it has been telling me Shocking Lies all night, so who knows). Once I finally have Word again, I can type up all of the half-written fics in my notebook, and hopefully clear the writing queue a bit before November.
Of course, none of this is the most exciting thing to happen around these parts lately, because I GOT A JOB!!!! Actually, I got a totally awesome job, working as publicity co-ordinator for a publisher in the city. Which means I'm leaving the bookstore, finally. And that I will have an ages-long commute, which is Far Less Exciting than the rest of it.
I start the new job on the 29th of October, so either long commute+NaNo=win, or exhaustion+new things+NaNo=epic fail. We Shall See.
Wish me luck!
