look! it is a me!

Computer has returned!!!!

They weren't able to really fix-fix it -- I guess that would require a new logicboard or something -- but it's rather more stable now; as long as I don't move it, don't breathe on it, and basically treat it like a really cranky and senile eighty year old lady, it lets me use it okay for now. I just went to Dell's website to give them another ridiculous amount of money I can't afford, but I comfort myself with the fact that the new computer is going to cost half as much as this did a year ago and probably be twice as nice.

INTERNET I MISSED YOU NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN. *SNUGGLE*

and yet, no quoting

The Shakespeare meme reminds me that another one of the movies I watched during my internetless days was Richard III. Um. It was very very very pretty. That's about all I have to say about it. Well, that and it seems to prove that it's basically impossible for Sir Ian McKellen to ever not be hot.

Also on the subject of the Bard -- has anyone else read History Play? I can't decide whether I think it's a really fascinating pastiche or more of a one-note joke.

Boys, here is a lesson for you: nothing gets the ladies hotter than staring into their eyes and starting every other sentence with "While I was in prison..."

Edit: If that doesn't work, feel free to pull out your BIG guns and start quoting your SAT scores.
