    Nanoha. First season (13 episodes) is a bit slow-building, and there's a tendency in the first half for ...awkward... transformation sequences (she's nine), but around episode 6 or 7 it hits its stride and just does not stop. Season 2, Nanoha A's, is also 13 episodes, but it's around this point where the show went from "good, but not particularly standout" to "holy crap that's cool." StrikerS (season 3, 26 episodes), is way more action-and-mech-oriented, at the cost of some character development (three of my favorite characters got shunted aside). It's still good, just a different kind of good. That said, A's is probably my favorite season, and it catapulted the show as a whole to my third favorite anime ever (#1 being FMA, #2 being TTGL). Also, season one has a villain who, within eight seconds of their intro, froze my blood with how outright scum they were.

    My ongoing laptop woes

    Newest attempt: wipe hard drive and reinstall before retrieving any necessary data from my backup. Time to use Safari, Textedit, and other such crap for a day. If I get crashes from that, it means it's hardware and not software: aka fucked and I'd have to send it in or something. please for the love of god let this work

    April Fool's Day Roundup

    Pokemon Showdown replaced every single sprite with MS Paint knockoffs. And the doll normally used for Substitute replaced with a picket sign saying "pay no attention to what's behind the sign"

    Thing is, you see so many pokemon in the frontier that it's just going to happen eventually. Plus my emulator moves at like 8x the speed of the regular GBA, so it's that much quicker to happen.

    Dreams

    I had a dream that a small plane crashed on campus like thirty feet away from me and nobody was harmed, even on the plane. The weird part is that (a) I've had dreams where I witness planes crash before) and ( in the dream, apparently this was a common occurrence.

    share your worst jokes

    Not quite a joke, but something that I once saw. A truck advertising window repair... with a completely shattered back window.

    My ongoing laptop woes

    Processor: i5 dualcore, 2.4 ghz OS: 10.9.2 (mavericks) Graphics: Switches between integrated (Intel something) and dedicated (Nvidia 330m). Also, after another call with tech support last night, I finally got to a senior adviser (read: someone who actually knows things beyond generic fixes), and he had me do, essentially, a massive cache dump and delete all of the start-up apps and holdovers from 10.8 and such. Haven't had any issues yet. Cross fingers.
