I'm thinking "angry and squirming" more than "sexy"...

This book. Is just. Oh god what.

Jon... laid his hand on Jack's arm, muscles incidentally tensing magnificently, like weasels in a sack.


Is it just me, or is that image THE FURTHEST THING FROM SEXY? How could you write a line like that and seriously think it was a good idea?

...oh, and in other news, unrelated to weasels, we got all the stuff out of the trailer and into the house. None of it is unpacked, and we need to wait until tomorrow to set up the bed, so we'll be staying another night here with Jae and Caroline, but we are free of the trailer! Yay!

I cannot wait to have the bed back. It is huge, and I will fall on it and sleep forever. Oh god yes. (Also, it smells like Jaqui. I'm if that's a good thing, or if it makes me want to cry.)

Name the stars and constellations, count the cars and watch the seasons...

I did not sleep at all well this morning, but when Beka got up, she let me have the bed and let me sleep for four more hours, so all was well and I felt much better after that (despite having a nightmare about Beka's mom trying to kill me... that was weird).

I now have Toshiko (my external hard drive, which should hopefully have everything from Gwen backed up on it now...), and Gwen has been sent off to be repaired. So in a couple weeks, I should have her back, or I can start flailing periodically at Best Buy until they fix it. I also got a tiny bag for my netbook which is just the perfect size for the netbook and a paper notebook and a book. It's awesome!

And then we got home only to turn around again and go out for awesome ice cream. They had pumpkin ice cream, and my day was made! (I eat pumpkin everything when I can find it, for the entire month of October, and most of November too. It is my favorite time of year.)

On our way back, we noticed that the stars were awesome, and demanded that Pat pull over somewhere with no lights. So we stopped in a little parking area beside the road and got out, and spent some time staring at the Milky Way and (mis)identifying constellations, until, lured by Jupiter, we wandered closer to the road and realized that we could stand on the side of the guard rail not facing the road. At that point, we decided (somehow) that the best idea was to stand there, creepily, until a car came by, and just stare at the sky. I have the feeling we either made someone's day or totally freaked them out, but it was fun.

I am now waiting for my vodka to cool off in the freezer so I can use some of it to make my back stop hurting, and about to wander off to abduct Caroline's desk long enough to transfer some stuff from Toshiko to Sarah Jane. (That's the netbook, in case you were wondering. Beka and I have a naming theme going on with all our electronics.) I can have my own music now! Well, some of it. Enough that I will not lose my mind. Huzzah!

EDIT: Okay, having gotten things off of my external, I can now officially say that Toshiko is the BEST THING EVER. OMG. *Gleefits* ...yes, I am this pleased by a little thing like an external hard drive.

And it tried to pack up its Miata, all it could fit was a prayer...

I forgot to mention this yesterday in all the flail and "what?", but while we were driving up to Syracuse, we stopped at a gas station and totally saw Ancient Cy. She was like human!Cy, with the white hair and black trenchcoat and all, but older than Cy's human form. For a little while, Jae and I didn't want her to turn around because we were afraid she'd be a grouchy old lady and ruin it, but then she turned around when we were debating whether or not the gas thingy would be able to reach the car, and apparently found us hilarious. It was awesome.

Dropped Gwen off at Best Buy today. I had them retrieve the data off her hard drive and put it on my brand new external hard drive (who is named Tosh), so I should have that, at least, in a few days. Gwen may not be back for one to two weeks. *Tinyflail* I'm a bit spazzy about sending her away, but I will have all my stuff unless something goes catastrophically wrong (I'm most worried about my music and my OaS plot outline), and if they can't fix her they'll replace her, so there's really nothing to worry about, I just... meh.

And Beka got me a netbook for my birthday. Technically it's both of ours, and I wasn't really expecting a birthday present anyway, but it was relatively cheap and a small thing that we can tote around and use for writing is nice, because Gwen is pretty damn huge as laptops go. She is pink, which normally I would mind, but don't so much since I'm sharing it with Beka. And she does not have a name yet.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE FIREFOX ON THE LAPTOP TIM LOANED ME KEEPS CRASHING. RANDOMLY. It's not like I have any add-ons, or am even loading pages when it crashes... it just does. It was not doing this last night. *Frown* (EDIT: Okay, never mind. I restarted the computer and it's fine. Pretend that didn't happen.)

TOMORROW. We are finding a storage unit and getting rid of the damn trailer if it kills us, and we are looking for more apartments. Probably in Syracuse. BAH, why is this such an epic quest? I JUST WANT A PLACE TO LIVE. And to give Caroline back her space, because I feel really bad about that.
