Started re-reading Northanger Abbey last night. Haven't read it since I skimmed it under obligation when I was about 14, and it's more amusing than I recall. But then in fairness I don't think I really understood that much of it at the time so it probably wasn't a fair assessment.

Oh and I was right. JR didn't fix the comp last night, he wanted to watch some American football on sky sports until 2am while complaining about being 'too tired'. He says it'll take him 10 minutes tonight. *sigh* We wait and see.


Unrelated to any of that... I have the worst craving for onion rings. And not even the proper cooked kind with actual onions in them, I mean the artificially flavoured puffed maize snack-food type that sometimes come in a big bag from Sainsburys with a selection of Salt&vinegar sticks and cheese puffs.

*is hungry for all the bad things*

It's beach season in the land down under. Finally!
Thank God.

Asides from that, this morning I made a bunch of little fondant internal organs. They're not quite as awesome as I hoped so I may have another go at some point, but I discovered if you mix a little red food colouring with some glycerine, they do look nicely bloody and the red doesn't bleed into the white as much as it would have done on its own.

His lordship is finally FINALLY doing the open-part-surgery on the desktop.

*bites nails to the quick*

I HAS A NEW HARD DRIVE!

It's bigger than the old one and I seem to be back up and running as it generally appropriate. I'm still missing all my documents- JR's having a poke at them right now to see if he can scrape them off the old drive, otherwise I'll be heading to my backups and patching things together from there.

But that... is for later.


Now both this keyboard and mouse feel hugenormous compared to the mini versions I've been using on the laptop this past week or so.
