I am increasingly seduced by the Macbook. COME TO ME, LOGIC EXPRESS AND NO VIRUSES.

Okay, so my crashing problem isn't just with Firefox, since my new-fangled (and v. pretty!) Google Chrome has just crashed. Goddammit. Computers fucking hate me, I'm telling you. Also, it's doing this thing where sound still comes out the laptop speakers even though earphones are already plugged in. What's up with that? Anyone? Bueller?

Thanks to the most munificent Sir Nix, I have a Google Wave account. Let's be Gwave friends, guys! If you, too, want to be a Gwaver, comment here and I'll send you an invite, first come first serve. But apparently invites aren't gonna be sent off immediately because the Gwave mods... "have a lot of stamps to lick". So.

IN TURN, do any of you guys have an extra invite for AOOO lying around?

Speaking of archiving/journaling things you need to be invited to, is Skyhawke still a big thing? Do you guys frequent it? Has the LJ-to-Dreamwidth migration actually taken place? What are the cool haps or whatever going on in these places that LJers are not party to?

REC: two minutes before you go to sleep, Narnia/Peter Pan (!! \o/). He had never flown in Narnia, but now, hovering miles over London in the dark, with the wind in his hair and clouds curling around his feet, Peter Pevensie recognized the feeling perfectly. <333 <33

I am procrastinating more things than I care to admit to. One of those things is 'return to New York'.

Oh well, I guess YOU explaining it to me is an acceptable substitute. I suspect it is my headphone jack, 'cos I tried two sets of earphones and neither of them work, and I have a Windows Update. Hmm, though un/reinstalling the audio driver sounds intriguing... Thanks for the tip, dawg. I SWEAR I TRY TO TAKE CARE OF THESE BABIES THE BEST I CAN, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM/ME.

I think you are underestimating how hot Rejus is. He is like a Lithuanian Gaspard Ulliel. But hotter. And with an accent. And he has fixed my baby computer twice. I'm just waiting for my dad to mention computer problems at his office, so I can choose that day to show up for a surprise visit.

Anyway, the good news is that even if your headphone jack is broken, headphone-to-USB converters are cheap and not too hard to find. They usually put them with the Skype equipment in electronic stores. And it's definitely a cheaper option than having a professional look at it.
