Thing that is profoundly irritating: attempting to Internet via laptop on main floor of house while all the other people are on main floor of house with TV and dishwasher and whatnot making noise.

Thing that I do not know if I can do: Internet via desktop while the massive antivirus scan is running.

(Thing that was profoundly frustrating earlier today: getting desktop and laptop to behave and update their antivirus. Gee, Norton/Symantec and Comcast, thanks so much for the heads-up that our free-because-Comcast-subscribers Norton was about to expire.)

( there wasn't a heads-up )

Thing that I seem profoundly unwilling to do: anything that isn't Internetting. I have Pratchett's Equal Rites out from the library and I was gonna read it today, but I got as far as the dedication, rolled my eyes, and gave up. (For the record, I loved Hogfather and have no reason to believe I will dislike Equal Rites.) I thought about crocheting but it seemed like too much effort to go fetch any of the in-progresses. (Not too much effort to go fetch my tablet to Internet on that, though!)

Thing that I need to do in order to be a good [insert aspiration here]: actually there's several, but surprisingly enough, most of them are not Internetting.

no, self, past experience indicates that we cannot write a novel in three months, do not attempt to do a Saturation of Octarine for rainbowfic, yes that is a very shiny prompts list but there is no way you can get all thirty prompts into anything shorter than a novel, and you have enough novel ideas to be going on with anyway. no really DON'T.

(I am not sure whether I want y'all to go "DO IT" or "DON'T DO IT"!)

(it would be a thing of beauty if I thought I could actually accomplish it, though, all about the feminist movement and civil rights movement and queer rights movement and etc in a world with magic, spanning at least three generations and a whole lotta protagonists)
