Everything I wanted

[lyssie]

1. I have 0 opinion on the LJ thing. I'm just cross-posting everything. Because I can. Also, more icons on LJ.

2. I am so behind on TV I still haven't watched the DW christmas special. No, seriously, I haven't.
(CLARA WAS MY HEART OK. Also, I really should finish my post about my thoughts on CLARA and Twelve and the last season, as it's, like, two years late at this point.)

3. I finally broke down and bought a new laptop. Much as I loved Parker, when Firefox tells me they will no longer support the version of Windows I'm running... Anyway, the new computer is not named, and is shiny and all. And also maybe now I can watch Netflix again. Even if Photoshop no longer works (curse the inevitable betrayal of technology).

4. Is anyone watching this APB show Fox is doing? Because it sounds like a low-rent Person of Interest ripoff. (c'mon. "A tech billionaire. A Chicago cop. Giving justice the reboot." It's just missing the ex-CIA operative...)

5. Yes, I do live. =D

6. OMG. I was going through icons and there are like ten billion Kara/Sam icons on my computer and I MISS THEM OK. I miss BSG fandom and SG-1 circa season 9 and, let's be real, Farscape at any season (though I wasn't in the fandom). I also need to make myself more Pryde/Wisdom icons. Because speaking of OTPs... (and maybe I need more icon space on DW'th, as there is a lack of Jean/Scott here).

7. The worst part about moving computers is having to go through all of your files and realizing you don't remember what the actual fuck three-quarters of them are (though at least my music files were mostly in order, and a playlist spanning EVERYTHING is massively entertaining especially when it shifts from The Pogues to the BSG soundtrack...). Also making sure you don't have copies and duplicates. Over-write is my friend.

8. However. Can I talk about how fugly the Windows 10 start menu is? Because it is awful. I don't want this facebook bullshit. (I know there is a shell thing out there). I just want fucking classic view back, dammit.

6B. No, seriously, going through these Kara/Sam (and the BSG ones in general) is making me say all sorts of "OMG OTP. AUGH. STUPID KIDS." type things. so pathetic, I know.

I miss Kara/Sam too. Although right now the world is just a little too Gaius-Baltar-in-charge-fucking-things-up for me. I think about rewatching BSG from time to time, but so far I haven't had the heart to do it.

Still. Kara/Sam forever.

LOLOL. I never thought there'd be a presidential election that would be closer to BSG's "people are racist, sexist, stupid assholes" motif than the second time W was voted in, and then Trump happened.

Moving computers is terrible! Last time I moved from PC to Mac, so I had the added fun of half my backup drives needing to be reformatted as well.

[lyssie]

Ugh. I'm so glad I don't have to do that. But some of the software I had won't work on the new version of Windows, and it's very frustrating.

CLARA WAS MY HEART OK.

♥ I hear you. Christmas was mixed, but I liked The Pilot and Bill very much!

Sorry about your laptop - it's so frustrating and fiddly swapping everything over.

[lyssie]

That is very good to hear. It's not that I won't watch, but this is, I think, a bit like how it took me almost three months to watch Eleven's last episode. I've seen Clara's last and and. and sadness.

But I'm totally up for watching more, because WHO.

YOU LIVE. <3

Also, hi!

[lyssie]

I do! I've been busy keeping my head down (work is exhausting).

*hugs*

I wouldn't really call it a PoI ripoff. It's more like your typical cop show, but set in the not too distant future (Next Sunday, AD!). Just taking the state of the art, extrapolating it just a bit, and applying it to a normal police precinct and seeing how stories are done with new toys.

Almost Human from a few years ago is a better similarity. ...Which is ironic since it's on the same channel and timeslot.

Ahhh. That makes some sense. I have no idea if I'll end watching it.

I'd say it's actually more knockoff Iron Man who loses his BF to a random city shooting rather than getting kidnapped overseas, so natch he buys a police station instead of building himself armor. I've seen about five episodes? Kind of intrigued so far, depends on how soapy it gets.

LOL. That sounds somewhat entertaining.
