Tout en bloc tu balais tout d'un revers
The laptop crisis has gotten pretty terrible.
It won't stay on more than fifteen minutes at the absolute max, and that's only when it makes it through the entire bootup process, which is maybe one out of five tries. So like. Ugh.
I've been spending my time on my knitting project and listening to my also-broken iPod. Wouldn't ya know this would happen to me the

HEY SO my laptop died right there. And wouldn't restart. So I took a shower, got dressed, tried some more, and it still wouldn't restart.
So now I've recharged my navigo for the week and sneaked into the computer lab at the Foyer at St-Michel. Trustworthy internet, hi! Except now I can't log in to yahoo for some reason. Gahhhh why. Once I've tired of being online I shall go to La Droguerie and buy some more sparkly yarn. Red, black, and gold. Vu qu'ils ont du noir, because they didn't have any when I went there before break. So I just bought a lifetime supply of silver.
I can see how I could get a little bummed out if I wasn't careful. I've only got one friend left in Paris and she's busy babysitting all the time, I got no show to stalk at night, my laptop won't work... so like. What am I supposed to do for the next couple of weeks? Knit, I guess. Knit and listen to my iPod. Until the battery dies and I can only charge it for the .24601 seconds before my computer commits suicide.
OH POO I was just stalking Flo's myspace like I do every single time I'm ever online and I noticed that myspace has a thing that tells you who's been looking at your profile. Haha... uhhhh well. Not like he doesn't know I stalk him. Not like there aren't five bajillion French preteens who do the exact same thing.
Sherry pointed out that my new little laptop will have a French keyboard. Argh. But at least it'll have Windows 7 so it'll be easy to make it type like the US International Keyboard that I'm used to.
OMIGAH AFTER AN HOUR I FINALLY MADE IT INTO MY YAHOO ACCOUNT. And there weren't even any new emails. But now I can see that my new little laptop is prevu d'etre expedie le today o'clock. I don't know if that means they expect it to arrive today or they think they might get around to mailing it today. I'd prefer the former.
ALSO HEY I used my beautiflo Florum to make one of the British fans hunt me down a hat like Flo's! You know the hat.
THIS is in the mail on its way to my host family's address!! I know, I know, I'm creepy. But hey, I was actually considering knitting myself one somehow over break before I got distracted with my project for the Troupe, so... Wait, actually, which is creepier? Knitting yourself one, or finding out that they're only sold in the UK, then coercing an internet friend who lives in the UK to buy one and mail it to you?
In case you can't tell, this stream-of-consciousness post is basically ALL THE THINGS I WANT TO SAY before I leave this glorious computer lab.
Oh and hey! I'll know by tomorrow whether or not I won a sweeps to get backstage tickets to hang with the Troupe in Lille! Because I learned that stagedooring in Lille is gonna be craptastic. The Troupe comes out in costume to sign stuff behind a table in the lobby after the show. So like... not much of a Floto op given there's a table in the way, and even worse I'm doubting people like my love MAKTAV or even Nuno would bother to COME ON for such a madhouse. So Lille is gonna be a disappointment. SIGH. Plus you have to have a ticket if you want to be at this signing, and the cheapest tickets are around fifty euros. Which is why we were only planning to go to the show once, then stagedoor the rest of the weekend.
Anyway so like. I randomly remembered I have a tumblr? And then I started using it. So, if you're interested in being spammed by pictures of Flo and other Mozart-y things, I'm lesmisloony over there too.
Okay. I have looked at all the websites and I think I'm ready to leave the internet behind for the day. I'm off to La Droguerie and then to Monoprix from some food and then back to my little yellow garret! My knitting project is going quite well. I'll post pictures once my little pink laptop arrives.
ETA: No backstage passes for me! BOOOoooo.
