So, my computer set itself on fire.
Also, I've been moving. I just spent near two weeks on the road, in motels and on various people's couches with all of my worldly possessions and two cats. There were adventures (this, I might possibly go into later only, you know, probably not.)
I'd gotten back into town in the hopes that there would be no more interesting times for a while and then my computer set itself on fire, complete with popping sounds and the red glow of burning. I've had it for something like five or six years and, if I'm completely honest, I'd kind of expected it to die earlier but I hadn't expected it to go out with a literal bang.
At any rate, I'm back in the DC area and was not killed and left by the side of the road in a series of trash bags pinned to the ground with rocks (or whatever.) I also have no computer which (sadly) means I can't catch up on the TV I missed while I was on the road until I get a new one.
Thank heavens the bloody thing waited to spontaneously combust until after I'd finished and turned in my SA fic.
Also, big thanks to those of you I met up with (some of whom donated couches, beds and hotel discounts) my trip would have been much shorter without all the stops but it also would have been a lot less fun.
