my staircase will look like a landing strip at night.
I'd leave all my lights off just to bask in the niftiness.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

nor do I have even so much as a small blowtorch, which is probably a sad testament to how I've lived my life up to now.
That's what the broiler's for. You don't need these newfangled gadgets. Though they would be more fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But you can't focus heat with a broiler. A blowtorch is absolutely an essential kitchen doohickey, even if it's barely used. Just in case.

Because books.
Does anybody have an Asus laptop? Any thoughts on Toshiba laptops? (Please tell me there are a few other non-Mac users left.)

I was thinking of getting the glow gaff if it works (maybe it wouldn't need staples to stay down, and it would lay flatter)
Oh yes, the joy of the staples. The stuff is basically just a huge pain in the ass. But, if keeps actors from stepping off the stage in the dark, so I suppose it's a necessity. Although there are some I would be happy to lose.

Sorry, Amy, all my laptops these days are Dell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Mine is Compaq -- I basically only buy on price.
Boo! I decided I could justify spending the money on an NYC haircut, and my stylist is all booked! I wonder if she would squeeze me in anyway.

Any thoughts on Toshiba laptops?
I've only had Toshiba latops, using each for 5+ years.
The only reason I bought new ones was that I broke the screen on the first one and had to upgrade the second to be able to use iTunes.
This one has been fine except it has a tendency to overheat and eventually shut down when overworked (playing CDs/DVDs, downloading into iTunes, etc.) Which usually means I've been on the computer too long anyway, so I live with it.
