Am now on vacation in Houston, having come from climbing dunes in Michigan. Comp is still broken. I like to think that if I had better access all-around, I might have cool, thoughtful things to say. Instead I just have some babble.

My computer is still broken. [personal profile] my_daroga is letting me use hers. I wanted to continue with Tuesday-posting, even though I can't actually post all the stuff I've been writing. I haven't been caught up on DW/LJ in a long time, but . . . well, if you've posted it I've probably missed it. Don't think I'll get a new comp/get the old one fixed for a couple weeks. But in the meantime, some quick things:

-Tell me something you did recently that made you happy. It can be something you're proud of, or something you did to please yourself, or something you did for something else. I want happy things!

-I still think Avatar: The Last Air-Bender is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. This is kind of sad since I was really getting into Star Trek again. I also have a fairly strong thing for BBC's Sherlock. But Avatar. I think, "OMG Zuko," and then find myself saying, "OMG Sokka," and then, "OMG Katara" and IrohTyLeeMaiTophAang. Sometimes even, Oh Roku or Kyoshi or Ursa.

-What do you think about hypertext fiction? A fictional story that has hyperlinks within it? Have you seen it done; in what context; was it supplemental to the story, or integral?

-I always thought people liked James Dean for the reasons they like Marlon Brando. You know, because he was bad and hot. I didn't know it was the whole sweet-vulnerable-tries-to-be-bad-and-hot-(maybe all because he's in love with Marlon Brando) thing. Wow. I sort of love him now. And really need Jim/Plato from Rebel. . . (Btw, I adore Marlon Brando! But James Dean ain't Brando. So I was confused.)

-The Wire is one of the best shows that exists. I'm not fannish about it. It's just one of the best.

-I'm going to Michigan and then Houston this Friday. It will be nice to see home and family.

-Last year I wanted to talk about Star Trek, but I had so many things to say that go in so many random directions, I eventually just started this doc I just randomly add to from time to time. I've started breaking it down and posting pieces of it every Tuesday, but not today, because:

-My laptop is broken. The backlight doesn't work. My dad says it's probably just a $1.70 capacitor on the inverter board which he can solder on, but he's in Houston. I'm going to be in Houston in 3 weeks, so . . . three weeks until I have a computer. The shop says $150-250 for a repair. Do I buy a new comp, or wait for Dad? Choices, choices.

-Earlier this year I posted about a girl at work, T. Update on T )

-I have been watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. Update on the best show ever )

-I started an Avatar: TLA Haiku Comment Fest.

Go write a haiku.
It can be a lot of fun.
I did it--now you!
