Hey! When did it get to be May, all suddenly? Surely there are rules about that sort of thing?

I am, sudden unauthorised departure of April notwithstanding, pleased to report the following:
  • Rain. Winter is apparently looming, in a way that makes me deeply happy. I had to dash to the library this morning in a light drizzle that wantonly became a downpour, as a result of which I look like a damp English sheepdog. (Although I hope I don't smell the same).
  • Indecent triumph over the Powers of Darkness that reside on my computer. It is a relief to note that the random turning-itself-on trope wasn't, in fact, me sleepwalking or losing time to alien abduction of my hard-drive, but a mutant BIOS setting, which I have subsequently located and disabled all on my lonesome except for the power of Google. *flexes little, tiny geek muscle*. I'm also more or less caught up on all the missing programs and settings from the hard drive swop. Mutter.
  • A couple of this batch of essays which have turned out to be astonishingly literate, which means I won't actually be forced to club to death both my classes in the interests of the human gene pool.
  • Lost! It's cool! I like the way it's filmed, all fragmented, like. Although I'd be happier if the graphics card in this new hard drive didn't leave a regular grid of tiny, high-relief pimples all over the screen. That'll teach me to encourage evil bootlegs.
  • Jo's game tonight, after many weeks of deprivation. I'm missing being monosyllabically obnoxious.

Lost, eh? Well, I hate to ruin it for you, but Richard wins and the obnoxious one gets voted off the island.

I think that's "Survivor", the other show about people stranded on an island.

Pfff, what's the diff? Personally, I wish they would all get abandoned on their islands and leave TV to re-run Buffy.

You don't say.
