The CoolerMaster universal laptop adapter arrived precisely when it meant to this afternoon. I uttered a sound that can only be heard by dogs, Superman, and sparkly vampires; I sliced into the box with a rusty pair of scissors whilst miraculously not cutting myself; I exclaimed over the length of the cord and the neat little tray for lining up the different tips like swivel guns (in proper color order of course). Finally I plugged the damn thing in and here we are.

The Sony tip doesn't seem like it'll come detached from the laptop or the cord with the barest hint of motion, which is good. I will be checking the adapter itself to make sure it doesn't get too het up. It might be a mite heavier than the old one, but that's more than compensated for by the longer cord. I rather like its little blue indicator light. All in all, it seems like a good purchase for the price.

INTERNETS I MISSED YOOOOOUUUU. It was especially hard on Saturday morning, when I'd just finished Mockingjay and my brain would not work for several hours. This always happens with stories that mean something; I have to let them...settle. Become part of me, as ridiculous as that sounds. I can't possibly read anything, write anything, or process anything on film, and it's generally a bad idea to try to operate a vehicle (Orson Scott Card almost got me and my bike flattened in middle school). I could've used a few dozen mindless games of Spider Solitaire, is what I'm saying.

Anyway. It's time for some major catching up.

I love that movie now like I did when I took my green Tyrannosaurus rex to the theater with me :) And belated happy birthday!

I didn't bring any toys with me, but I remember it being my first PG-13 movie, and my mom having her hand over my eyes for like half of it. It's still one of my favorites and go-to-happy-making movies, and my mother is still scared during the kitchen scene. I've also had a crush on Dr. Grant since seeing the movie because Triceratops was also his favorite, and the scene in my icon with his glee!face makes me all flaily.

And belated happy birthday!

Thanks, bb!

Yay for shiny new adaptor!!

And oh, do I ever know what you mean about having to let a story settle in! The same thing happens to me; it's like all my brain's processing power is taken up with the new acquisition for a bit and everything else hangs up.

Exactly! I'm not even really thinking about the story necessarily, or at least not coherently; I'm just kind of blank.

I am stubbornly avoiding Suzanne Collins. I don't want her to replace Susan Cooper as my YA Goddess.
