Rec! (God, when was the last time I rec'd anything? I am a bad fangirl, anyway)
Highway is for Gamblers, by monkeycrackmary. SPN, gen, R (disturbing content, although no more than the show itself). It's gen, so you all can read it. Remember The Benders, you know, that psychotically disturbing episode from S1? This ties up some loose ends from that. It really got me where I live, which you can tell by the way that I'm getting off my ass to rec it. Go! Read!
And now, a little slapstick: This evening we watched the first episode of Torchwood (!!!!). We couldn't get a quick download of the second episode, so we planned on watching it the next morning and went our separate ways (bedrooms, boyfriends, etc). I did a few dishes and started watching The Breakfast Club, at the same time starting to download the first episode of the second season of Grey's Anatomy. About midnight, I paused the movie and found a direct download of Torchwood episode two (!!!!) Naturally I grabbed it and it told me it had two hours to go. I contemplated sleeping.
Yeah, that wasn't ever going to happen.
I finish TBC and go to check on Grey's - it's done, and Torchwood should be downloaded in about forty minutes. PERFECT, thinks I. But as I open up Grey's, something strikes me - this seems awfull familiar. I check the filename and oh, wait, somehow I've downloaded 1x06. Which I've already watched. Go, me! Oh, well, says I, it's not so bad, I can play solitaire and browse LJ until Torchwood gets here. So about half an hour later it's ten past two or so and I check the download and... wait for it... it's fucking shorted out at fucking ninety percent with fucking twelve minutes and SEVEN FUCKING SECONDS to go.
*hurls things*
So then I had to wait for my internet connection to fix and then restart which means from the beginning, since I'm too idiotic to use a download manager. *sobs brokenly* I'm actually kind of pissed off, because lately I've been noticing that the net cuts out for about twenty minutes at two am every morning - about the time we switch from onpeak to offpeak. This makes downloading overnight totally useless and sincerely pisses me off. People in the know: is it worth contacting my ISP (iHug, for the record) about this?
Also: does anyone know if there's new Heroes this week? Also also, baseball fucking sucks, I want my House and Bones. :-(
