askye at 01:24pm on 04/05/2004I'm hungry and slightly bored.
Lunch was ham sandwich, chips, soda. It should have filled me up but I need one more little morsel of something...but I really don't want t hand more money over to the vending machine. I need to bring snacks to work.
Also I'm slightly bored. There are a few minor things I have to do but first I need to clarify something with the head supervisor and she's at a meeting. There are lots of meetings.
I did just share a nice laugh with the electrical contractors...they promised this would be the last time they are crawling around in the ceiling, but I have to admit I'll miss the background noise of voices.
My computer at home is becoming increasingly more erratic. While installing Norton certainly helped it's one more program that has to be loaded and a drain on my dwindling hard drive space. I managed to free up as much as I could by dumping most of my mp3s and the screencaps I've grabbed from various places. But it simply isn't enough. I start saving money for a new computer when I get back from the b.org F2F.
I really miss chatting in #discourse but, again, mIRC is a drain on my system and having that open, as well as a browser or two along with the other programs running (Norton, AIM) my computer has a tendancy to freeze or crash. Or both.
Some point back in discourse I saw a discussion for AIM chat but I'm not sure what happened, if there is/was one. I'd certainly like to try and see if I can chat that way. Although I'm much more of a fan of IRC chat than using AIM.
Fannishly the only thing I'm doing is reading comics--Bats! and Wonder Woman! Whoo!!! Really, really well done and amazing. Batman Year One, Batgirl Year One & A Knight Alone, and Wonder Woman Hikitea (and the current issues of Batgirl). Plus I've read The Killing Joke. I didn't like the art work in Batman Year One so that kind of put me off a bit.
The Killing Joke's pictures are amazing. And disturbing. Seriously freaky some of what goes on in there. But slashy! I was surprised at how slashy Batman and Joker were together. It was kind of like Angel/Lindsey but the hate turned up a bunch of notches. Plus Lindsey was never psychotic and homicidal. But still the whole I wanna kill you wanna fuck you thing was there.
Whoops! Break's over.

(no subject)
I was reading The Outsiders tpb last night and came upon the Joker story in that book. He really really reminded me of Lorne. Why had I not made that connection before?
(This would kind of tie-in with Teppy's "Lorne is evil" theory -- wouldn't it?)
