In which Best Buy is still not Chuck, and Stella is a dirty trollop

[queenklu]

Finally got through to Batteries Plus on the advice of the decidedly non-Chuck-esque at Best Buy after their creepy Stella-probing, and hallelujah! They had one in stock! THE ODDS. So i hopped in the car, navigated the winding roads of Palin Land, and forked over $102 for a new battery.

Drove back home, plugged it in, and Stella...still...died.

So i

That's sort of supposed to happen, but I forget exactly what you're supposed to do to make it go through that stuff automatically.

Here's the tutorial that I used when I first started using DVD Flick: http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/229/59/

Oh thanks! It's saying now my blank DVD isn't the right 'media' or something...which is...great. *headdesk*

Bdw, i'm methodically working my way through your delicious. I kind of want to build you a shrine.

Ugh, the mysteries of blank discs are vast. Seriously, it's like 2/3 of the blanks I try are unusable for some unknowable reason (probably the reason is that I get the cheap kind, but still, what the hell). Hope something works for you eventually.

Thanks! I do try to put some effort into it. I just finished listening to FayJay's reading of Tissue of Silver, and uggggggh, I always forget how awesome that fic is. You've totally sent me back into a Harry/Draco phase, damn you.

ON A RELATED NOTE, just to check, I went and reread some of the sequels and they were all perfectly readable and not horrible at all, I have no idea why I remembered them leaving a sour taste in my mouth. I skipped over Green Means Go, just because that one was labeled as extra angsty, so maybe I read that? But Famous For Their Discord and Seeing The Light are both really good and shouldn't be missed. SORRY.

Oh OHkay. *eyeroll* *g* You almost make me wish i had a Draco/Harry icon. ALMOST. I am not that desperate, yet. ;D I'll be sure to check those out. Happy!sex? y/pls?

Have you listened to Penny's reading of Reparo? I'm still not done with it--there's only so much time in a girl's schedule to curl up with her ipod for hours without her folks asking if she came back from Scotland emo--but Penny's always aMAZING (even if she doesn't see it herself. *glares*)
