phoenixastraea Whew. I seem to be a posting whiz today! I suppose I'm bouncing between extreme procrastination (as evidenced by the fun I'm having on here) and extreme productivity. Right now, I'm back to the left.
My office is a ghost town right now, which I don't mind; I prefer the quiet. It's allowed me to get some things off my list (GOD, I love compulsively making lists, don't you?) before things get crazy next week. It's also allowed me to do crazy things like signing up for the Sylar Ficathon Challenge (which I'm about to pimp out here ). Honestly, its a scary thought (I've never done a fic challenge before) but its a fun one too, as I've been puttering around with Heroes drabbles on and off this past week or two. We'll see about the challenge I'm given; I basically told them no Mylar and no death!fic. Anything else (except for Sylar/Claire *shudders*) I think I'll be able to swing.
I've gotten to a place in my life where it seems like I'm slowly getting stuff scratched off my to-do list. Little petty things that I've been meaning to do and are finally getting done. It feels...refreshing. And a bit tiring.
Compy news: I ran some diagnostics and found that my compy was crashing because it only had ~185 Megs of memory available when I have almost a Gig in the lappy! WTF! So, I kept fooling with things, trying to remove stuff where I could until I ogt it to 295. Better, but not fabulous. So, I had decided that I would take Lappy to the Geek Squad this weekend so that they could run diagnostics on my memory chips. Of course, I ran another diagnostic last night and lo and behold, Lappy must have suspected a doctor's visit because all of a sudden, for no discernable reason, I'm up to 400M free rather than 290 from the night before! Again, gentle reader, I say: WTF! We'll see what tonight's diagnostic says but either way, weird.
And dammit, I now have "Tainted Love" permanently stuck in my head. BLAST!!
