Eheh, ow. o.O

In other news, my father's on the plane to Spain (I won't see him for a month! I don't know why this is making me wibble!) and Mum will be joining him Tuesday. In the meantime, went shopping with Mum, bought good food to eat while she's away and I'm stuck alone in the house going BUGFUCK for a week, and actually felt decent most of the day. Also blew my B&N gift certificates on three bricks: Cryptonomicon, The Last Light of the Sun (Guy Gavriel Kay does Vikings, w00t!), and a massive reference book on gods and goddeses of all cultures with which to further weigh down my myth shelf. (As if some of the other bricks I have weren't enough.)

I HAVE A NEW HARD DRIVE. His name is Pride (because of the single large glowing eyelike status light) and he is directly responsible for my relatively good mood that's lasted all the way since yesterday evening. He's 250 megabytes in size and has data transfer rates that allow me to copy the average 50-meg AMV in five seconds as opposed to two minutes. When my computer goes to sleep, he does too; I'm going to have the nicest quiet room at night once I get all the data off my old external drive and retire her. If Pride didn't have wires hanging out the back, I'd hug him.

[Feel free to apply that last sentence to anime!Pride, manga!Pride, or [livejournal.com profile] anax for your amusement.]

My dear old 120 gig Rei III, with the 5400 RPM and the pathetically slow old USB transfer, is filled to the gills and getting more and more noisy and hot, and has been known to eat data, so I finally shelled out for a replacement.

The indescribable mood-foxy is oddly cute.

Cryptonomicon is well worth blowing B&N gift certificates on.

So I've heard, from many many people. :D

Now the next question is whether I have the attention span to read it these days. We'll see...

It is an easy read if it;s your type of book. Neil Stephenson has fun telling the story--but not necessarily keeping it in any comprehensible order. He also likes to go off on non-fiction rants where he tells you how everything works. Which I think is a lot of fun.

Yay for Cryptonomicon!


You should give me a call sometime, :-P

You mean one of those times when I have the presence of mind to use a phone? :P

Pride is not very huggable anyway, regardless of the amount of wires he has hanging out the back. Laaaame. D:
