Moonbeam's Fanfiction Predilections -- LiveJournalMoonbeam's Fanfiction Predilections -- LiveJournal - LiveJournal.comThe Car Woes Saga: Episode Four- November 29, 2007 ... in which Moon is NOT a happy customer!Took the car back to the garage to have the power steering looked at. Went with them -- please note "them", as in plural -- while they went for a test drive. Watched them spin and crank the wheel for the slightest maneuvers. Listened as the first guy refused to give his opinion, and the second (the so-called 'supervisor') tried to sell me some bullshit about how the steering wheel is supposed to have to turn more than a complete 360 degrees before you...http://moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com/67046.html The Car Woes Saga: Episode Three- November 29, 2007 Let's see now, what else can go wrong with my carProblem 1: a simple oil change and service inspection reveals the need for an all new brake system. Due to the fact that said brake pads, rotors, and drums were shown to me personally by the mechanic, I said okay, left them my car overnight, and paid the $1400 the next day.This was last week.Problem 2: Somehow, in fixing the brakes, then knocked the front wheels out of alignment. Of course, they denied this as possible and swore it must be my...http://moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com/66763.html <--- See icon. grumbles- November 7, 2007 I hate my car! The simple service check-up I went in for has now become a big fat mess. Argh! Apparently, though I've never noticed a problem -- granted, I'm not the most car-aware of people, I hate driving -- it turns out my brake system is pretty much entirely... gone. Rotors, drums, leaking brake fluid, pads worn to smithereens (and on one wheel's case, disappeared so that metal is grinding on metal)... everything needs to be replaced. Everything. The mechanic even took me back to show me...http://moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com/66445.html Bored now. :- November 6, 2007 My car's gone in for a service check-up, so I'm stranded at work all day today. (Even though I'm only technically scheduled to work 'this morning' -- which is now past -- and 'this evening', with five plus hours of time to be wasted in between because I can't go any place! Eeeee!) Some of that time will obviously be spent playing online, so if anyone's around feel free to drop me a line. ;PAlso, a little reminder notice:I posted a poll last night pretty late. It's about Spoilers and Story...http://moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com/66109.html Poll: Warnings and Spoilers, To Show or Not To Show- November 6, 2007 I've found I very much tend to be in the minority where it comes to my love of knowing what's going on ahead of time. I love spoilers, and think warnings for fanfics are the best thing since ratings. (And heck, now that I think about it, there are even some folks who refuse to rate their fic, and that's a whole other issue to think about!)But a lot of people out there not only don't want to have the mystery ruined for them, they also get rather strident about anyone who does. So, poll. What's...http://moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com/66009.html Heroes - Beware of spoilers for tonight's ep!- November 6, 2007 May I just say how much I love Matt Cause I do. I love him lots and lots, even more each episode. "I'm a good man. I'm a good cop. I'm a good father." Yes, Matt, yes you are. And you make it look so damned gooooood... Mmm-mmm! Mohinder is a lucky, lucky man to have you. And uh, Molly too. ;PHence: GIP! XDAlso, Kensei is Adam! Okay, I can honestly say I did not see that coming! Oh, I knew the explosion wouldn't have killed him for real... but dude, he's still alive like 400 years later! And...http://moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com/65790.html Help me, LJ-wan!- November 2, 2007 Crap! My 11-year old Hotmail account just switched itself over the "Windows Live Full" version. I tried to force it back into "Classic", but the version of Classic they offer is still completely different from the ancient version I've been happily using for over a decade now. Crap.If anyone out there knows a way to reset my Hotmail account's appearance to the old, pre-Windows Live era style, I'd be unbelievably grateful. I've been steadily denying the so-called upgrades for years now because I..http://moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com/65378.html Happy Halloween!- November 1, 2007 In a suprising turn of events, I am NOT the only one all dressed-up for Halloween!I showed up to work tonight decked out in my lovely Valkyrie costume with the pink fuzzy boots and helmut. I was expecting to be the only one, since the few people who actually said they'd dress up worked earlier in the day. Instead I was met with a pleasant surprise! Pretty much everyone working tonight is in costume -- even the volunteers! Yay!We've got pirates, and witches, and vampires, and pumpkins. A french..http://moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com/65001.html |
