It's 101 degrees out, and still 3 more hours till the hottest part of the day. Yeah, baby. I feel so smart having already bought & installed the air conditioner. I can't believe we sweated through this last year... especially after the heat fried my laptop and the cable box. But hey, HI GLOBAL WARMING! This is supposed to be the temperate pacific rainforest, not the desert. I was just there with temps like this.
Ahem. End of weather report. In the meantime, those of you who know me know that I don't spend a lot of time with Harry Potter fanfiction these days. However, I would like to take a moment to pimp an absolutely lovely work in progress byh311ybean, for whom I have the absolute fortune to be a beta reader. I give you Molly Weasley and the Heart of the Wayward Wizard: go have fun with something that brings the early delightful quality back to HP fanfiction.
Yo Outposties:lostinapapercup's internet connection is down. We can still work on the sub-threads, of course, as we like, and then once she's back we'll continue with the main action. Man, that got messy and it got messy fast. To answer one question I got: no, none of it was plotted out in advance. I don't roleplay that way; I can't tell my characters what to do. They only react to other people. Kind of like the way things happen in real life. But it was my fault I was up till 2 last night working on this: I couldn't put it down. Even writing Vicious and Gren, I didn't know from one post to the next what was going to happen. I was just kind of on the edge of my seat. I guess I'm just a big fan of our board, and that's a really good thing.
Um... oh yeah! For all the Dell-bashing I see, I thought I'd post a good Dell story for once. It's a minor thing, but I lost one of the screws that holds my hard drive in. I went to my local Fry's, figuring they have everything, but they didn't have anything like the teensy tiny screw I needed, so I got online with Dell via their hardware support chat feature. The guy I talked to was sweet, effiicient, helped me troubleshoot exactly which type of screw I needed, and had it sent to me... along with a few spares. This all happened yesterday evening. Today, when I got back from my first massage at noon, the envelope containing the parts had already been delivered. Talk about fast: I'm absolutely delighted to be able to tell a good customer support story for once.
I'm going to suck it up and take Hannah to see OOTP on Thursday. Wish me luck, fellow Gryffindors. I'm not a big fan of that book. I'll be curious to see what's going on with the movie, but it'll probably still piss me off.
That's it for now. Except where's my little internet brother,dopplegl? I'm hoping all's going well today. Let me know?
