My logic board seems to be thinking about dying again, even though it just got replaced last summer. At least it waited until I got back to the US. *sigh* The whole thing's going into the shop tomorrow, so I'll be reading for comps and taking a sabbatical from the computer for a bit, probably. (This is probably a good thing, as I really do need to start reading...just needed impetus like this, really.)

Good luck with comps!

Good luck with comps!
Thanks!

Date: 2005-07-01 01:52 am (UTC)Hee. There's also the idea that Canada is slowly invading. Speaking of which, I just found Rachel Luttrel (Teyla) on Forever Knight. According to IMDB, Torri Higginson and David Hewlett were on FK too. May a bizarre crossover invade your brain. ;)

I think I knew about Torri, but not the other two. Amanda Tapping guested in one ep, too. It's some kind of Canadian sci-fi actor incest thing, I swear.
And I'm not writing that crossover, no matter how much the Wraith are like Nick and his cronies. (Isn't there supposed to be some Wraith around who doesn't want to eat human life force? Is that next season, or am I just remembering from a fanfic?)

Date: 2005-07-07 12:48 am (UTC)I so don't. Nope. Not me.

Bwah! *cackles* And perhaps Marilyn Manson-wraith from the pilot owned a bar...

Now who on Atlantis will want to cure Mr. I Don't Wanna Eat the Humans? ;)
no subject
Date: 2005-07-07 01:06 am (UTC)And I'm sure she wore a lot of black while serving up the blood. *g*

Hmmm...Beckett?

No idea. I picked up a couple words here and there (plus the tendency to say "university" instead of "college"), but none of them were on the quiz.

Date: 2005-06-30 09:12 pm (UTC)My iBook is currently out-of-commission for the same reason. I've been using my PC laptop which is falling apart on the outside.

Date: 2005-06-30 09:18 pm (UTC)Apple, I love you, but it's time to get on the ball with this whole motherboard thing. I mean, really.
no subject
Date: 2005-06-30 09:42 pm (UTC)And Apple will indeed replace the board more than once. I've heard that some people have even gotten a free replacement iBook from Apple when they brought it in more than four times.

Hmmm. On the one hand: free iBook. On the other: four logic boards. Ick.
no subject
Date: 2005-07-01 11:57 pm (UTC)As it stands. I'll take in my iBook once I have steady income, just in case they charge me for shipping again.
no subject
Date: 2005-07-02 05:46 am (UTC)Bah on charging for shipping.
no subject
Date: 2005-07-02 05:53 am (UTC)I doubt I'll get a shipping charge this time because I'll go the extra distance to the Apple Store. I've only ever been charged for shipping at MicroCenter, so I think I'll be good. But I don't have the money to spare at the moment if I'm wrong.
In the meantime, my duct-taped PC is adequate.

And fashionable, too, what with the duct tape and all. Well, fashionable for a PC, anyway. ;)
no subject
Date: 2005-07-02 11:54 pm (UTC)I just wish I had some blue tape to keep it together. That would be even better than duct tape.
