COMPUTERRRRRRRRRR

[marah_sarie]

I have one! Finally! Despite the weather and the general incompetence of UPS trying to conspire against me, I actually have a working, functional computer once again. One that doesn't beachball every thirty seconds and plays flash video and has a DVD drive that'll actually play DVDs and everything! It is truly a joyous day

A desktop named after 岩手山? WTF?!

Btw, almost always I'm just a lurker.
But I'm enjoying your posts and welcome back!

Well, I used to live in Iwate, not far from Morioka, so I guess it's a bit of nostalgia, too.

It's hard to stop being a lurker - it is sort of my default state.

Ah...before in Kyoto? So you'd always lived in beautiful places when you were in Japan!

> It's hard to stop being a lurker - it is sort of my default state.

No, it's not. You've posted so many funny things. And people don't wait for posts of a lurker - it means you can't be a lurker.

Btw, I have a question - what is the "Freedomland"? Is it a place name? Country or town?

'So you'd always lived in beautiful places when you were in Japan!'

Well, I *did* also live in Nagoya for a bit, which sort of balances it out. :)

'what is the "Freedomland"?'

Heh. That's meant to be a joke -- it's what I sometimes sarcastically call the United States. Have you heard about freedom fries? I'm joking like they've renamed the whole country.

Haha! Fair enough!

Oh, I haven't heard about freedom fries.
So you're gonna visit your home for Christmas? It should be fun!
Have a nice/save trip!

..."save"? "safe"!
