I was all set to buy a new computer and scanner... and this morning my screen went dark. Excellent timing, I thought. Took me a while to figure out it was the monitor and not the computer. Then another little while to search for the receipt and see if I'm still within the warranty (of course I'm not). That was a really unproductive day. And it looks like tomorrow is gonna be a really expensive day... new scanner, computer and monitor in one fell swoop, urkh. At least I still have trusty laptop, so I don't have to go computerless in the meantime.

speaking of unproductive: meme, gakked from

scrollgirl:
1. Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2. Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.

1. Star Trek TOS
2. Die Söhne der grossen Bärin by Liselotte Welskopf-Henrich
3. Star Wars
4. Remo: Unarmed and Dangerous (the novelization was better than the movie :P)
5. The X-Files
6. Star Trek: Voyager
7. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
8. Frasier (no, really...)
9. Drop the Dead Donkey
10. Angel
11. Buffy
12. Bones
13. Stargate: Atlantis

I don't have 20; when I fall for a fandom, I set up camp and get comfortable.

I only now realized that "Remo" may have been a factor in my taking up martial arts. Good times. :)

Off to get some work done. I'm gonna post recs once I have my browser bookmarks back.

My guesses: Spock (how could a young fangirl not imprint on Spock?), no idea (I've never heard of that book), Han Solo?, don't know that one either but I guess the main character might be Remo and thus a favorite?, Scully? Chakotay? Kira? I never watched that, so I can only guess the title character could be a favorite, i.e. Frasier? I've never heard of "Drop the Dead Donkey" either so I don't know any character names at all, Angel?, Buffy? Booth? SGA is hard to guess, you seem to like the team, and Jennifer so I don't know... this is hard.

Also, I have computer envy now. I'd love a flat screen monitor (it would take much less room on the desk), but mine still works, so I can't justify getting a new one, what with not really having the money to spare.

You got two (plus one who was my favorite in fic but not on the show). :) But then, I realized that for some of these I don't *have* a favorite character; I watched those for the ensemble or the mythology.

(Only guessing those where I know enough about canon.)

Spock? Obi-Wan? Scully? Janeway? Niles? And for SGA, is guessing team allowed? If not, Rodney?

I loved Frasier!

Yep! No. No. No. Yes. And yeah, I love me my team but really, I've always been Rodney girl.

... to my dismay I found I don't like Seeley Booth all that much (while I loved Angel).

(how could a young fangirl not imprint on Spock?),

indeed!
