I finally bought a new computer. So far, it's still standing in a corner, because first I have to reduce the occupied harddisk space on my old one so I can transfer all the remaining data to the external harddrive xkatjafx lent me. Meaning *groan*, I now have to watch as much TV as I can. I'm currently stuck in the middle of "Lost", but. I. Will. Prevail!

On another note, ten_chan just posted the first collaboration I wrote in that ever made it to the 'net. The story is called "Alles wird gut" and is, of course (considering xkatjafx was one of the co-authors), "Napola". It's in German.

So, now I have to return to Lost, but before I do that, I need to complain a little about carnival in general and the bar one level below me in particular. They just started playing their music again. Argh. This will continue until approx. 4 a.m., when I will finally be allowed to fall into bed. *sigh*. I can't wait until Wednesday when the whole torture will finally be over. Thank God this year I've learnt from my mistakes and have taken vacation days for Tuesday and Wednesday. So at least I'll be spared having to come to work after about three hours of sleep and with a mood blacker than Sauron's heart.

On a totally unrelated tangent to all the above... I've developed an unhealthy fascination with Baal ever since "Reckoning Part 2" of Stargate. He's kind of hot when he's, like, you know, not actually torturing Jack and instead helping the SGC. That's a dangerous sign, isn't it? Do I deserve to be zatted now?
