What does one do when one is forced to go an entire three days with online access?

In my case it means I go nuts and make lots of Indian food.

No, I didn't reply to reviews.
No, I didn't send

ashton7 a blurb for Off The Record.
No, I didn't work on Percyness: The Percy Weasley Archive (though I did get a request to archive a story - but the site's not done yet, honest!).
No, I didn't post as

interimminister on the

hp_dungeons.
No, I didn't update my website.
No, I didn't reply to comments.
No, I didn't work on the SGC party story, or the BlackOps!Jack story, or do military research for future Jack and SGC stories, or the Daniel-As-Girl AU story, or add the beta comments to the blatant Jack/Daniel porn-in-a-boat for Sodality (which is due April 30th).

But I have lots and lots of Indian food. Dahl. Raita. A fancy Indian chicken dish that didn't turn out.

Sublimating? Me? Naaaaah.

Current Mood: terribly amused

Once when I was in middle school our computer was busted for a week. During that time I racked up over a million points on Tetris.

My first question is: what is Tetris?

Then I worry that I might get hooked on whateveritis. At least I can eat (most) of the fruits of my weekend labors.

I think I'm going to be in the school computer lab till closing time tonight. *hugs school computers and refuses to let go*

Tetris? The computer game? ::wonders if this is not as common knowledge as she thinks it is:: It's a video game where you have to fit these odd-shaped blocks together, and when you fill in a solid line, it disappeares; since new blocks are constantly falling from the top of the screen, if you're too slow the play field fills up and you lose. It was invented by a Russian guy, I think, and the background music was a badly-synthesized version of the Nutcracker Suite...

Anyway, when the computer was busted I fell back on our eight-bit Nintendo and got ove a million points on the game, which is far, far too many.

LOL! For me computer games have always been a spectator sport. It started when we got Pong and everyone fought over who got to go next....

I lived in India, so it grew on me.

I've got to write it. Cross your fingers that my "errant disk-write" in Windows didn't destroy or cause me to lose all my recent Stargate fic.

Lol I cracked up so much when I read that.

Food should always come first, I reckon ;)

I think I know what I'm going to be eating all week long.

I do the same thing, and end up with, like, buckets of alu and dahl and roti.

And then I always smack myself on the head and go, "Why roti? It's going to take me three years to eat this!" and have it with every meal, or every time I get a glass of water until I want to JUMP OFF A BRIDGE TO GET AWAY FROM IT.
