Computer problems solved after several hours of downloading what's probably the most popular file on the internet just now- yep, it's the new worm making the rounds. I need to pay more attention to these things, though it was on the national and local news tonight. Yeah. Thanks so much, guys. A bit too late.

But it's fixed now, and I'm going to break down and renew my Norton subscription like a good girl so that in theory this doesn't happen again.

( This is going to be a long list... )

I don't want to think or talk about school, or my life, so I'm going to do a bit of slightly out of date Alias commentary.

( Countdown spoilers, & related stuff )

Have shot off email to thenonsense, containing list of ideas, seeking second opinon. Now have nothing else to stall with, so must go and do homework.

Blah.

Also finished Alias fic last night, Triangle. Revising last ep, "Phase One". Syd sneaks Irina out of federal custody to go rescue Jack- mother-daughter ass-kicking little adventure. Posted to ff.n despite telling self I wouldn't; like the way the reviews pop up in my inbox for a day or two after. 2 so far, not that I keep track or anything.

Sigh. Math homework. Right.

Tomorrow it begins. Math, biology, US history. Strange this mood, wondering if I'll learn anything this semester. Wanting to, for once. Wanting it to be worth it, since I can't do much else. I guess a part of me has gotten tired of vacation; the rest, of course, wants to hang on.

I finished my second Alias story today. Which is going to require a sequel. Ice and Glass; channeling strange little vignettes of Jack Bristow, which I have always had a feeling I could do. Probably that is what I will write this week, between classes and buying textbooks and all the rest of that lovely start-of-semester crap.

Wishing I could carry my laptop around with me; I'm going to miss having everything so easily at my fingertips. I like my notebooks, like them a lot, but writing things by hand takes longer, and school terms are all about time. Mostly not having enough of it.

I have decided I need an evil clone, Star Trek: Nemesis style, to do these things for me. I can go to class, I have no problem with that, but I want someone who doesn't have moral objections to killing people to be the one standing in all the lines. Nemesis review coming later, maybe, once I've had another twenty-four hours to calm down after they- well, never mind.

I've spent the afternoon making thumbnails and coding. And now for some reason I am annoyed with myself for not having an Alias pen name to go with the rest of my collection. I always think my real name is too boring for these things. Hmm... Chris Bristow? Hell, why bother? There are probably a million Bristows, like there are a million Malfoys now. I'll check FF.N sometime, just for laughs.

At least the bastards finally let me overwrite the HTML fic with the text file. I like it better in HTML, or maybe I'm just used to, when I put things on a website, being able to code them. Go figure. FF.N is a nightmare, though; was talking to thenonsense about this yesterday (other things too), and she's given up on the place. Probably this is wise of her, but I keep hanging in there. I mean, I get the occasional review at FF.N. Granted, a lot of them suck, but the two I've gotten so far for Without Light are good.

Fuck! I go to the trouble of correcting the episode title in the summary (It's "A Higher Echelon", instead of "Upper Echelon") and they go and cut it off at the first quote mark. Grr... Must fix.

Okay. LJ spell check is hilarious. I couldn't remember how to spell Echelon, which it wasn't actually much help with. As for the rest of it, apparently Lindsay's username is a misspelled word. Who knew? And "okay" is not a word. *lol*

Mmmkay. FF.N still sucks, there are 100 people with Malfoy in their aliases there, and no Bristows, though there is a Mrs. Sydney Vaughn. Why am I not surprised?

Some people have that, you know, handle for all occasions thing going for them. Me, I collect them, and I go through these phases where I loath all of them. Right now I look at my collection- Lilly Malfoy, Anne Khushrenada, Anla'shok Ivanova, and I find them...I don't know, lacking something.
