Tidings of woe!

[active_apathy]

So, I had an interesting experience tonight.

I got to perform emergency maintenance on my computer following an interesting crash right in the middle of writing a reply email. Gmail's autosaved drafts, oh, how I love thee.

So, yes. One week of actual summer, I start dying from the temperatures and and my computer starts developing fun new heat issues. So, I've rearranged some bits to help with heat exchange, rearranged the desk to help airflow, and I'm going to go and buy it new fans tomorrow, because overheating computer bits? Do not want.

Also, last night, my obligatory 'one surgery before bed' in Trauma Center actually worked out to be just one. 5 kyriaki operations in 10 minutes? WTF, Trauma Center. WTF.

I got through 4 of them before the time limit, which was apparently enough to pass with a C. Whee. But, seriously, 5. In 10 minutes. So, I spent some of today practising the whole excise-and-burn thing for the kyriaki until it was down to about 1:50ish. It's still a little slow in spots, but I want my S, gorrammit.

Also, a handheld game shouldn't be quite so immersive. (But it's good that it is.)

Lastly, stolen from ryttu3k, the fandom character guessing meme thingy, which I choose to call...

The Fandom Character Guessing Meme Thingy!

The game is simple: I list up to 20 films or books or movies or TV shows or $OTHER, and you guess my favourite character(s) from them. Where I can't decide, the number of right answers is given [in brackets].

So!

1. Firefly - Kaywinnit Lee Frye (kdsorceress)
