Avernus

*sighs* I know, if I'm going to keep a blog I ought to try to update it more regularly. The January and February archives are going to look *awfully* sad this year. But I really haven't been in the mood for blogging lately. Not had a great deal to say other than 'did work, read comics' for a while, and last time I blogged that I seemed to give the impression that I was about to keel over from stress, which isn't *really* true. Blogging will probably be *extremely* sporadic for this reason. Don't worry, I'm not dead ^_^ And if I am, I'm sure Nee-sama will blog it, so *that's* okay.

In recent news, my desktop has gone slightly phhhtttt, which is very, very annoying. It seems likely to be a mechanical fault rather than the harddrive failing or anything, so it's going back to Dell in the sincere hope they won't wipe the harddrive >_< Fortunately (thank you, Nee-sama...) I had made backups of my essays and fics, so that's the most vital things. But I shall be *extremely* annoyed to lose the 28gig of comics I've spent the last two months downloading >_< >_< I've made my father promise to make every effort to copy the harddrive over onto one of the office computers if it is indeed not that that's at fault. I don't want to abandon it to the whims of the evil Dell employees.

Man, I really need to download Howl's Moving Castle. I've had the soundtrack on loop for rather a long time now, I need visuals to go with it. Even if the end does go phhhhtttt. The ending of the book goes phhhhttt too and I still liked that. And Howl didn't look like Haku in the book. Though apparently they cut the womanising from the film, which is going to be *very* confusing. And I don't imagine they'll keep in the bit about him coming back stinking drunk from a rugby club dinner singing Welsh rugby songs. I suppose that doesn't cross cultures terribly well.
