    back on line - sort of
    have been computerless for several days - took pc to a nice chap who basically did a few checks and told me he could find nothing wrong with it - it started for him and behaved like a good little computer. Naturally, when I get it back, it freezes on the first attempt, but with a few kicks and a lot of swearing, it does at least start.

    After being told by one boffin that the motherboard on my laptop was dead, I asked same chap to recover the data from it - which he did, only guess what? Laptop worked fine for him too. Unfortunately, the mains cable is rather dodgy and needs replacing - but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. So I'm 85 Euros down and not that much better off as yet.

    Apologies to anyone whose birthday I may have missed, and to those who are poorly, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

    I was just doing tech support over the phone to my parents, trying to splain about gmails spam filters being different to windows mail filters...

    And Dad said: you're wonderful. You're stroppy and sneering but wonderful.

    Hee, I am Snape.

    It's a weekend of tidying and throwing things away, and I'm going to buy myself a book reader just because.

    Two manga reviews: Merry Family Plan and Dining Bar Akira

    I recently read a couple of interesting yaoi titles by Netcomics. One I really liked, and the other I sort of had a mixed reaction to. I'll start off with the latter.

    Recipe Project: Easy Brownies
    Title: The Way of the World

    Author: McKay ([info]scribbulus_ink)

    Commentary: McKay's "Way of the World" contains some wonderful domestic scenes between Snape and Lupin in the kitchen, where, for example, Lupin teaches Snape how to cook (and survive) in the muggle world.

    McKay already posted a great recipe from the story, so I hope no one minds that I'm posting one for brownies inspired by this delightful scene:


    Excerpt:

    "Laugh at me, will you?" Severus snarled. "You'll pay for that!"

    And suddenly, Severus reached into the bowl, scooped up a huge handful of batter, and advanced on Remus.

    "No -- Severus, you wouldn't!" Remus stared at him, wide-eyed, as he began backing away.

    "Oh, wouldn't I." Severus' voice was a silky purr now, but his smile was pure evil.
    ( Remus couldn't help but think that batter-covered Severus would have been even better. )

    Google Wave
    Google Waves is something that looks very interesting, it is, however, still in its beta stage.
    It is complex and will need some time to figure out. It does look like fun though, and I think that fandom will find many creative ways to use what is offered. Syndicated lj entries can be included in waves, from what I've gathered, but I didn't have time yet to look closely at this yet.

    You need a google account to use the waves.

    So, if you want it, first come, first serve.

    Happy belated Thanksgiving

    Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! I had dinner with my family and am pleasantly stuffed. I contributed the pumpkin pies--I've never liked store-bought pumpkin pie, but if it's homemade (I just use the recipe on the back of the Libby's pumpkin filling can and it always comes out great), somehow it tastes much better. There's plenty of leftovers for tomorrow, too!

    If anyone has any extra pumpkin leftover from baking, my sister sent me a recipe she found online for pumpkin pancakes. I haven't tried it myself yet, but she swears that "it rocks!" It does look pretty yummy in the picture on the blog.

    I read a couple of interesting yaoi manga titles from Netcomics, but was too lazy to write up a review. I'll try to work on that tomorrow.

    Also, reminder to self: hide the yaoi manga when family comes to visit! My brother came over for dinner and we were chatting in my room, when he picked up a manga volume from my bookshelf and casually started leafing through it. Fortunately, he happened to grab a copy of Emma rather than the stack of Kizuna volumes on the shelf above! ("Emma" is a series about a Victorian-era maid, btw, and a really great read with beautiful, detailed art--I highly recommend it.) Not that it would be a disaster if he did find the yaoi stash--he'd probably just raise his eyebrows and tease me a bit, but it would be a bit embarrassing to have my little brother finding my gay porn stash! ^_^ For the next family visit at Christmas, I'm shoving the porn to the back of the bookcase!
