To paraphrase Dolores Crane, today was like the opposite of Cruciatus.
After the nightmare of yesterday, I was dreading work today but it was super. SUPER! The problems are still there but we're making real progress and I got to sit in a weekly senior management meeting to review the ongoing resolution. Plus! Our executive vice president asked that I sit in whenever my boss is unavailable. Whoo! Is it terrible that I want my boss to be unavailable all the time?
And there are more good things...
* I have sound on my computer! Thank you to everyone who provided suggestions. In the end, a system restore did the trick.
* McShep wallpaper! I'm only up to episode 1x13 and I'm hooked.
* Tonight's CSI on Spike...Grissom! Lady Heather! Tea! "You wanna be my boss?"
* Hugh Laurie is on Jay Leno tonight! There's no way I can stay up that late but hopefully I won't muck up the VCR as I'm apt to do.
* More Orlando at the Venice Film Festival. He's beautiful. (Though I don't entirely understand why the poster insists on posting the photos like that.)
* And, on a personal note, the boy and I are talking almost daily. It's good.
Someone e-mailed me about a Harry/Snape fic that sounds so familiar but I can't remember what it is. Does this description ring a bell for anyone? "...it started with a quotation from Robinson Crusoe, and it was one of those fics about how Harry is forced to marry Snape against his will. Cliche, but excellent - this one has Ron dying in the final confrontation with Voldemort, which causes Harry to leave the country and only come back years later to make up with Severus." I think it's one I read recently but I don't have it on my recs page and I can't remember the title or author.
