Yes, I am still alive!

Unfortunately, my computer's not doing so well *cries*.

It's being attended to by Dr Computer Guy from my work, so hopefully I'll be properly back online soon. In the meantime, I'm running in and out quickly from the office in between working, but I can't get too carried away so it's been a bit erratic. I did manage to post Chapter 2 of the orig fic for those who have access, so that was something, but I really can't catch up on too much flist stuff as unfortunately I'm paid to work while I'm here (life is sad like that).

Most other things are going okay though, and today is LOST day over here (in which Sawyer gets all hot and sweaty and shirtless and digs graves, according to the shorts *drools* which will more than make up for him not being on last week's episode at all - altho' Sayid did look rather fetching attached to that swingset...) so I think I'll make it through another day!

Hugs and stuff to all of you, and watch out for that Hamster thing, it'll happen soon, I'm sure! (been thinking about it a lot lately)>

This Lost episode is pretty good, satisfying and disturbing at the same time...says no more. You'll adore the Sawyer parts like always, I swear, a shirt just won't stay on that guy. *winks*

I'm just gutted (kiwi word -go me) that youe PC is still not well. :( Hoping for a speedy recovery after the 'DR.' gets through with it.

*lots of hugs and love*

*sends a "get well soon" card to your PC*

I am curious how you'll like that episode!! I absolulely loved it (ok, maybe I respond to dark humor) and some totally loathed it. hit or miss, no middle ground ;)

Oh yeah, I enjoyed the episode - what's not to enjoy about Sawyer losing at ping-pong to Hurly, sneaking around with a gun, getting slapped by Sun and then digging graves shirtless? *grin*

Woo! for the use of a Kiwi-ism! I'm gutted too! Damn computer had to get the pip, didn't it? (another Kiwi-ism for you!) Hopefully be back up and running again soon!

*hugs received gratefully and returned in equal measure*

*shows computer the card and threatens sledgehammer if not back on deck soon*

Jeez, what's with people and their sense of fun? Mind you, I adore black humour too. I thought the episode was pretty good - not my favourite or anything major, but still cool. I liked how they managed to intersperse all the Nikki & Paulo stuff with older stuff we'd seen on everyone else - it totally worked. That scene in the loo at the Swan(?) station amused the hell out of me the first time 'round when Paulo came out of the toilet so it was nice to see it explained from his POV! And my fave line in the whole episode? (as a slasher, what can you expect?) Shannon saying to Boone: "If you'd stop flirting with random guys..." (I mean, if I was Boone, I'd flirt with Paulo too *grin*)

Thanks for your wishes, love! (PS: love the way your icon is looking up at [livejournal.com profile] jhobbit's icon)

I am so sad about missing you all freaking week! DAMMIT!

E-mail me and let me know what's going on, it's been weeks and I'm still waiting for your answers! It's like you don't love me! Ok, well I'm sure that you love in that "she took the short bus to school and we have to be kind" kind of way.

I still have no idea what that 'short bus' thing is all about. Care to explain?

*SMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCHES*

Oh Jeeze! Most kids with disabilities, handicaps, or special needs, or even kids who had broken legs and such took smaller buses to school. It's a crude and crass thing, and is used a lot in jokes.

BLB! We don't have "short buses" in NZ, we don't even have those yellow ones you forever see in American movies, so how was I to know? And anyway, I love you more than the short bus itself *smoch* (that's a short smooch, btw).

I meant 'oh jeeze" in that there was no way to describe it without looking like a jerk for making fun of handicap kids is all! BLB yourself
