lavandarlizard2I've been working! Yay! Employment! Paycheck! ^____^ Unfortunately, it'll probably be finished in a few weeks, but for now... I am productive and relevent. Except... my feet hurt... >_>
Also, I just got my computer back from a spring cleaning. He's real spiffy now; all the virii are history. ^___^ I think I'll do this every year, whether he needs it or not, just to keep on top of stuff. It's a little embarrassing, though, to realise how much I love my computer. O_o
Got a short bit of BFB here. Really short, I'm afraid. O.O I'm hoping to get some writing done this weekend, so maybe there will be more by Sunday or Monday. ^____^
BFB – Part 102 – Good Vamp Hunting
Nothing suitable for a vampire’s crypt was on Heero’s list, of course. It couldn’t be that easy.
We did come up with some requirements for vampires in general and Ctik added a few specifics. He didn’t care for basements; he really wanted a proper crypt. He preferred someplace away from other dwellings, where he wouldn’t have to worry about being spied on. Of the dozen or so possibilities on Heero’s list, a few were on large lots, and some were in areas that a crypt could be constructed underneath, but none of them made any of us happy.
Ctik was disappointed, but still hopeful when we left him at his resting place. He didn’t mind cutting his night short, he said, as we were being kind enough to help him. He really did seem like a good guy. I decided that I would have to watch myself around any other vampires I might encounter and not assume that all vamps were as benign as Ctik.
Heero made a phone call to Q when we got home and gave him a quick over-view of the Ctik affair. I didn’t exactly eavesdrop, but I couldn’t help hearing Heero’s side of the conversation. Q decided that he needed more detail and Heero arranged to send him a written report, and then he and Heero set up a fire meeting for midmorning the next day.
I kind of assumed that they would make the decisions from then on and that would be that. Little did I know.

Date: 2009-04-11 11:11 pm (UTC)That is one problem with a homebrew machine - you're the only tech that will look at it! The other problem is, once you're done better stuff comes along, and then it's off with the access panel and in with the $$. 'cause if you built it, you want it to be GOOD.
at one point the desktop system was worth more than the old car. >_
