Question

Is "Suffering Man's Charity" on dvd?

To my surprise, when I told who the actors were, and gave a short description of the movie supplemented by [info]a2zmom's report on this matter of great import, the Darogas both went, "YES WE NEED TO BE SEEING THAT."

This is why I <3 them.

Help? If possible.

This year I am reapplying to grad school. I'm applying to all theschools to be admitted into two different programs: the CreativeWriting MFA and the English MA. I feel like if I don't get into theformer I probably have more of a chance with the latter. So far, theschools I'm applying to are:

WashingtonUniversity in St Louis, University of Florida, University of Texas, NewYork University, University of Houston, Saint Mary's College ofCalifornia.

I'm also looking into University of Michigan, OtisCollege of Art and Design, School of the Art Institute of Chicago,University of Notre Dame, University of New Orleans, Emerson College,University of Massachusetts at Amherst, University of New Hampshire,Rutgers University, City College of New York, The New School, SarahLawrence College, Syracuse University, Ohio State University, ChathamUniversity, University of Pittsburgh, University of South Carolina,Vanderbuilt University, Goddard College, George Mason University,Hollins University, University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, anywherethat does MFAs in Creative Writing in Alaska, University of NewBrunswick, University of British Columbia anywhere that does MFAs inCreative Writing in Canada, University of East Anglia in the UK,anywhere that does MFAs in Creative Writing in any English speakingcountry such as the UK, Australia, or New Zealand, and English MAprograms anywhere in Europe, particularly the Netherlands, Switzerland,and Poland, and English MA programs anywhere in the world, includingArgentina, South Africa, India, China, Russia, and Egypt.

Um,so. The purpose of this post is to ask if anyone has any advice on anyof these universities, any of these locations, any English MA programs,any Creative Writing MFA programs, any grad programs, getting into gradprograms, writing portfolios, and stuff. I'm just trying to gather anyinfo I can on the process of choosing and applying, as I have failed sospectacularly in the past.

So how 'bout that Buffy 6 comic?

La Vie de TKP update!

Thanks, Sue, for the St Paddy's e-card! *much love*

I got my laptop!

Vista: is very Apple-y, in that it's very "user-friendly" and never lets you see where all the files really are and where your computer does it's computing. Which for the most part is fine with me, except when it's not. It's all very pretty, anyway.

The "cancel or allow" thing is nice, actually, because too many times I open a .exe when I don't actually mean to, and I like knowing what my comp is running at all times. The problem is, it reminds me of the Mac commercial, which reminds me of the computer porn someone wrote about it, which just kind makes want to write smut. Mac probably got syphilis from that fic and then had a system crash. Your parents warned you about safe sex on the internets! or at least mine do.

Question: I had this client dl'ed on my old machine that allowed me to use all kinds of IM do-hickeys at once. I can't remember what it was called though, so can anyone tell me what they use and whether they like it?

I installed Word and World of Warcraft, and downloaded Firefox and Semagic, so I'm pretty much good to go. And write fic.

Attn: H/D fic help

...the whole five of you who would even click on a Harry/Draco fic, much less read one:

I seem to have found . . . 45,000 words worth of a crack, massive, lame, embarrassing H/D WIP on my hard drive that I don't see myself finishing, and yet every time I check it, filled with innocent bewilderment, the word count goes up another 5,000 or so.

I was wondering whether any of the <5 of you could:
a. explain to me how this got on my hard drive,
b. read it and help me,
c. shoot me now,
d. hold my hand and pet it while I dissolve into tears of despair and self-loathing, while not letting anyone involved in Jossverse know,
e. all of the above.

Idiom trickery

Can you tell me what you mean when you say "bite the big one"?
And is it different from "bought the big one"?

Does either one mean to die? 'Cause. I need to make a fish joke.

Smallville/SPN Questions

So, I don't normally watch these shows, but people on my flist talk about them, and for once I was free on a Thursday evening, so I thought, hell, why not. So I watched them, but because I don't know all the history and stuff, I had a couple questions about them.
