And done with Iron Author, round 1!

More or less, anyway.

whobunkyboo, I'm not gonna be able to do the further adventures of Brudda and the Great God Om just yet. I've cleaned my entire room tob to bottom and can't find a copy of Small Gods anywhere. I'll work on yours once I get hold of the book again. I'm sorry.

penguinzero, the Ghostbusters crossing paths with the Greatest Thief in the World bit can be found here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/camwyn/362837.html?thread=1144149#t1144149

Gimme a bit to catch my breath before I do anything else.

Okay, I don't think this is a good sign.

Normally when I'm mad at the computers here at work I call them Binky. As in the horse of Death in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, that kind of Binky. The name sounds relatively silly and enforces a certain level of 'I am the human YOU are the technology DO AS I SAY' in my mind, despite its association with the horse. I mean, c'mon. Binky. How can anything (other than the horse) named Binky put up much of a fight?

Last night I did not get enough sleep, due partly to a dream of being yelled at for stopping to get ice cream while on my way to some other obligation, and due partly to going into Aleksei the Scary mode and happily lecturing about Canadian history vs. American history.

Today when I went to yell at one of the computers, I glared at it and called it "Buddy dere" without even thinking about it.

I think I gotta go run through the fifty states in less than five minutes now, just to make sure I haven't forgotten.

ETA: Cleared all fifty states in just under three minutes. Go, me. I shall have to memorise the capitals eventually, too.
