Someone in the comments to one of the entries on my friendslist posted a link to this, which claims to be an explanation of cricket. Maybe now I'll actually be able to watch it and know what's going on, instead of just watching it because they sure do look opretty and distinguished in those uniforms. (Also, slashy, but that's par for the course with me, obviously.)

Results of Friday's knitting poll are in, and it looks like I'll be knitting a hat after this scarf, and then a pair of hobo/fingerless gloves. The award for linking me to the Coolest Knitting Patterns Ever, though, goes to rsadelle. This is so hitting several of my kinks at once.

Internet and Cable and telephone will be getting connected this afternoon. Yay! No more crappy TV reception! More than five TV channels! Internet! Wheeee!

... I'm possibly a bit overexcited today. Possibly.

Meme, stolen from yonmei:

Go to Musicoutfitters and enter the year you left school^* in their Search field. Copy and paste the list of 100 Top Songs from that year into your livejournal. Bold those you actually remember.

^* Defined here as the year I graduated secondary school, because I tend to ignore those two years of uni.

( Good year for boybands and Madonna. )

I'm baaaack! I have cable! TV! Internet! OMG! *runs around in little circles*

In the last six or so hours, I've downloaded and/or installed Firefox, Thunderbird, assorted extensions for same, about two dozen Windows updates, updates for various other programmes, and two thousand five hundred e-mails. Um, yeah. I only wish I were kidding. Oy vey.

Somebody come poke me on IM?

[ETA]Also, ladyjaida mentioned something called The Letter Game:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: A letter game involves the exchange of written letters, or e-mails, between two or more participants. The first player writes a letter in the voice of a newly created character; in this first letter, the writer should establish her own identity and that of her correspondent, should set the scene, and should explain why she and her correspondent must communicate in written fashion. In subsequent letters, plot and character can be developed, but the writers should not talk about plot outside of the letters and the characters should never meet. Letter games can be a writing exercise or a role playing game.

Would anyone be interested in this? It would be non-fanfic, obviously, but otherwise I'm open for suggestions.

maybe i should post this in my actual writing journal ...[/ETA]
