New Stuff

I got a new printer. My last HP was going on 9 years old and was getting sad and problematic. Got a new HP the 5150. I have a feeling it'll be going back since the inkjet latches like to fly open. It took a lot of fiddling and cussing to make it work. But it DID print out my 51 page thesis beautifully.

New to the house, several more fans (it's been 96 degrees here. I'm dying. I'm writing a historical Angelus/Darla fic and I'm thinking poor Darla, all that whale boning, corsetting, under skirts, petticoats, and velvet over dresses, panniers or hoops spanning  several feet (not to mention the towering up-do), any mayhem she did was probably as a reaction to wearing that crap in heat like this).

evil_little_dog  got two new dvds for the house Tombstone (ah, lovely men) and Jackie Chan doing City Hunter. I'm thinking Ryu ALWAYS has an erection (long time City Hunter fan here) how are they translating this to film...I'm thinking I'll be both disappointed yet highly amused by this.

And last but certainly NOT least, the first chapter of my first Post- Fade Away story  is posted Built on Lies (the first in the I Fuochi d'artifico (Fireworks) series) . Please feel free to comment. This is a WIP so input is desired.

Too Hot to think

It's now literally as hot outside my body as it is inside. This is so not good. I maintain it should never be hotter than 75 degrees F. I can't study. I can't write. I CAN however lie like a beached whale and sweat. I HATE Florida.

Wasting Time

Since I can't properly embedd quizzes yet (I'm computer stupid) here go find out which archangel you are (stole this from Esmerelda_t)

I'm Gabriel. You're most like the ArchAngel of Communication, in charge of things like telephones, libraries, internet, and the 411 phone menu. You're organised and are not shy about inflicting that organisation on others

Okay I'll go along with everything but the organized bit...

I remembered!

The deadly venomous Australian sea shell, it's the Cone Shell whee, so not only do we have to worry about box jellies and sharks when we go into Australian waters we have these things. Shrugs. Rather see them than a funnel web or a red back.
