New RvB was awesome and makes me kind of want to play Wash again dammit. Aaauuuuuuugh want next series so bad right now that was a hideous cliffhanger

I realized that 1TB was damned big, what with that being four times as large as my original hard drive, which didn't have any real performance problems, unless being kind of slow to boot up when it had to counts as a performance problem, but I suspect that had more to do with the fact that I rarely if ever shut it down myself. But is 250 really all that big? Apparently OfficeMax and Staples don't even carry 250 gig drives anymore. Hell, OfficeMax apparently only had the 1 TB, and Staples only had 1 TB and 500 gig.
Well, it's worth noting that I have no money. Hard drives are pretty cheap for what you can get these days, but they still cost more than I've got. I don't even have any SATA drives. :(
It's probably also worth noting that large retailers tend to stock just the latest and greatest in computing, because they can trick people into thinking they need it. At least that's how it's always come across here at Best Buy or Future Shop compared to dedicated computer retailers.
Yay, huge hard drive! Boo, computer still not working!
Also, the next day after watching the RvB finale, I ended up at the mental image of the original Leonard Church reading a letter he wrote that ends with his cordially inviting the Chairman to fear his laser-face.
The Director with a laser face would be even worse than Church with one. He wouldn't give the Chairman any warning of the laser face, he'd just cordially invite him over to give him a personal demonstration of his new project for his approval and then the laser face would come out.
Well, sure, that's probably the logical thing to do? But it lacks the panache -- and, more importantly, the hilarity -- of being able to hear the phrase, "fear my laser-face," uttered in that slow, measured, gentlemanly Southern drawl.
(Along similar lines, I've got my Grif at a Halloween party as the Master Chief, complete with a voice filter, and have had him go up to the bar and say, with the utter seriousness of an impending alien attack, "I need a whiskey.")
Happy little trees! :D That's the exact reference I used, even.
Also now I am picturing Prowl and Bulkhead watching the Joy of Painting on that hugeass TV in the Autobots' secret base and both being all :o but for entirely different reasons. It is pretty great.

Though the existence of an error message doesn't totally fit with my theories.
