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.

Stranded on a Remote Island

Enjoy Lost! Channel 4 have FINALLY started showing Series 2 here, even though America, Ireland and even fricking Belgium are well into the series already. I almost feel like I'm in some backwards developing country or something! ;)

Your google-fu is strong, but friends are even faster.

Monosyllabic? You? Now that's roleplaying.

It flummoxes me to no end, this whole Northern vs. Southern Hemisphere dichotomy where seasons are concerned. I made an utter fool of myself at work, I'm certain, with the expressions of unchecked disbelief expressed when an Australian coworker patiently explained that yes, they celebrate xmas in the middle of summer.
A point of reason, yes- but one I'd never stopped to consider. "So July is...WINTER?" I flabbergasted.

Self, meet ethnocentrism.

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

Mmmmmm Sawyer.....

It's weird to think that someone who was credited as "good looking guy" in episode one of Angel is now more famous than David Boreanaz.

I forgot to watch this week's episode and now I am furious. What did I miss? Does M-Net do repeats?
