Um...

So, I go to join a Yahoo!group, and Y! welcomes me as tet24tet. I don't know any tet24tet, nor has anyone but me [thoughtsplosion] used my computer. Random network fluke, maybe? Holy crap. Weird.

I logged off, but now I'm concerned that maybe my laptop will melt or something. :|

Insane? Maybe.

In addition to signing up for Sweet Charity [where the auction is still going on!], I just signed up for [info]ficrocksthe80s. The premise is pretty sweet -- you sign up, they give you a really recognizeable 80s song as your prompt, and you write. In any fandom you want. Now that I can do. :D Signups are only open until tonight at midnight PST, though, so get crackin' if you wanna do it.

Does anyone have the faintest idea where I can find an icon site script other than Coppermine gallery or the Icon Sort script from new-place.org? I want something that gives me a summary of the most recent icons, and maybe a full count of all icons in the site. A way to have subcategories would be fun, too. [But I hate Coppermine.]

Also, I just picked up some new speakers for Mr. Laptop; with the insanely loud construction outside -- do they really need to jackhammer directly below my window? -- the original built-in speakers weren't cutting it anymore. Despite the speakers being only $50, they have great sound quality, so I'm stoked about that. Plus, now I can have bass battles with Bass Guy next door, late at night. He tends to turn his stereo on at around 11 PM, and keep it going until about 2 AM. With paper-thin dorm walls, I'm seriously considering earplugs.

Am v. concerned.

Ass has appeared all over my web browser. I mean that literally -- Firefox is replacing 'a...' with 'ass.' and </b> with </ass/b> on some RSS feeds. Virus? Glitch? One of my extensions malfunctioning? I dunno. It's skeery. ::pets Mr. Laptop IV:: [EDIT] Skyehawke's CSS seems to be ded, too.

Also, the Subaru was sold by the time I got down to the garage. :| My brother called his brother-in-law, a used car dealer, and asked him to pick something up for me at the weekly car auction. I tell him, "Okay, I want a tiny SUV or a small station wagon. Something between the sizes of a Suzuki Sidekick and a Subaru Outback."

What does the guy bring me? A Chevy Cavalier. :| I'm definitely going to be packing creatively to fit all my crap into the car for school.
