So, here's what's happening with me

[jamjar]

On Thursday, I head back to the UK for Christmas. I come back to Japan on the 30th. Internet during these times will probably be spotty, not least because...

My ibook is bust (yes, again). Very strange, the screen just-- went. Doesn't light up at all now. there I was, working my way through Impulse, and flickeryflickeryblack.

From what I can tell, the rest of it's okay. I can switch on, it makes good sounds, though I have no idea if the rest of it's okay because-- black screen.

Plus side-- I have a pretty much up to date JBBS copy, plus the one I sent to be beta-read. Downside,I lost one or two thousand words from Yuletide. Plus side, I do have a print out, so I should be able to recreate it if I have time and access to a computer.

Plus side again, Louise is lending me her back-up laptop, so I'm not internet deprived (heh, almost typed "depraved") and I'll be taking my back back to a big city, where there will be English mac repair. Hopefully. London, it's got to have somewhere, right?

ETA-- Woo! My habit of leaving CDs every where serves me well, for in the school computer at work I find... my CD, with the most recent copy of both Yuletide and JBBS! I am a happy bunny.

Jen- send me a copy of your one and I'll send you a copy of mine, yeah?

You're in luck - apparently an Apple superstore has just opened up in London.

Oh, bum. I just sent your ginger biscuits to Japan! Well, they'll be waiting for you when you go back:)

great big apple store just openned on Regent's Street - oxford circus end - I'd assume they'd either fix it or know who would.

Also also - many many thank yous for the nifty card! post_fic makes me happy and the card's so pretty too - up on my noticeboard by my desk already :)

Yes, I am hopeful- Yuletide and JBBS aside, it was a pretty good time for bad things to happen to my baby.

Incidentally, do you want a Japan calender? I think I sent one to you last year, and this year, in a rare stroke of wisedom, someone thought to send them to the JETS *before* January. I'm sticking one in my suitcase for my parents, I could add another for you. Honestly, I think the pictures last year were prettier, but it's not bad and it's a good, practical design (reasonable space for writing stuff on each day). and it is free, of course

Yes, Apple have been spamming me. Aside from deadlined fic, it's not a bad time for things to go wrong with my laptop. Could have been a lot worse.

And even though if it is the screen, it'll probably be hellishly expensiev to fix... at least my hardrive seems to be OK.

Which is when I'll need them, feeling all homesick and missing good milk and central heating.
