  • Apparently the eastern half of the country is covered in snow? I think my favorite quote came from CNN. "The snow didn't stop everyone, however. Some had fun with the white stuff, fashioning "people" out of snow or having snowball fights." OMG, fashioning people out of snow?? What will they think of next? :D

  • Apparently London has a completely lack of anything cheesy on the scale of Medieval Times. This saddens me for sockpuppeting reasons. ETA: No wait! They have something!

  • Apparently a scene that didn't make it in to DW's EoT was spoilers )

  • Apparently... (Okay, I just needed it to start with that.) Speaking of DW, Netflix has a new handful of classic Who I've not seen yet. I've added it all to my queue, although I've not really been in a classic Who mood for a while. But it would be nice to finish up the entire list of old episodes. Last time I counted, I'd seen about 70% of classic Who.

My desktop computer died on me. Sure it's XP and years old, but how dare it die on me??

Actually it might be a bad cable between my hard drive and the motherboard since it all of sudden wanted to boot from the A drive. (Yes, it has an A drive.) Even after taking the A drive completely out of the sequence (THOU SHALT ONLY BOOT FROM THE HARD DRIVE) it fails. After a jiggle of the cable, it attempted to boot XP - got as far as the login screen - but then it went byebye. Could be my hard drive too.

I've known I needed a new desktop for ages. Guess it's time to get one. At least I've got my laptop. (I just hope I can pull all my junk off the old drives. Yeah, there are two in there. My desktop was kind of a Frankenmonster I built myself.)

Question for you computer types - is there an easy way to hook up an internal hard drive to a new computer? Like...a box that plugs into a USB or something? I kind of hate the thought of having to crack open the computer and install a second hard drive, then uninstall it, then install third hard drive, then uninstall it. (Although it might be easier nowadays.) I've gotten quite lazy when it comes to this stuff.
