Unplugged

I had a very nasty virus on my computer last weekend. Luckily, my brother was in town to help me re-set up my computer and he was able to save my data, but I don't have windows office right now. Which sucks, kinda.

I'm back in Innsbruck to prepare for my exams. Or I should be preparing for my exams, instead I read massive amounts of fanfiction to vote at ga_ficawards over at livejournal. I got nominated too!! In the Callie/Erica drama category. I'm very happy about that, but not even I voted for myself. I'm up against "One Heart Too Many" by former weekend crush burningeden, who kick's our collective writers' asses by writing amazingly beautiful stories! But I'm flattered and honored by the nomination alone. I'm reading through all the shorter stories in the categories I'm interested in to cast a vote. Which are mainly all the categories with Erica or Callie or femslash.

Yesterday, Grey's returned with the post-strike episodes on Austrian TV and I watched it excitedly, even though I've seen it twice already. Yeah, I'm weird like that. I still can't wait for September 25th to roll around. I bet I won't be able to sleep that night and I'll be up early, bright and shiny, searching Youtube for uploads.

I'm off to write fanfiction - by hand. I forgot how slow writing things by hand is.

congrats on the nomination!
Don't you find it terrible to watch TV shows on youtube? I tried that for a day or so and I just couldn't stand the quality or lack thereof...

I do find it terrible, but with some shows, it's the only choice I have (the l word, grey's anatomy). I usually wait until the shows come to Austria, but now that callie and erica are happening I can't wait that long - I just see all the spoilers everywhere, so it would be too hard to wait and not watch it.

I started downloading the shows via torrents a couple of years ago. much better quality and it's there the next day after the show was broadcast. you should look into it!

I know torrent, I've used it to download grey's. my brother says that's how I got the virus :(

I've been using torrents for years now, all my friends are - no one ever had a virus...viruses usually come with spam mails - and no you don't need to open them to start the virus...
