I have a new laptop now, although I won't be using it regularly for a little while. It's a gorgeous little thing, but it came prepackaged with Vista; although Vista is pretty, I don't like it at all, so my boyfriend is installing XP on it for me instead. (I always have the restore disks if I decide to defect after a while, but probably not. He knows about a patch that makes XP look just like Vista, and I think I'm going to make him get me that. ) It's very nice having a boyfriend who's a nerd.

Although that does mean it's going to be like a week before I have everything reinstalled and the way I like it. Oh, well. ;_;

I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about my scanner, though. Supposedly, there's some way to get around using the software that my boyfriend's going to show me... but that'd be a while.

On a side note, I bought the new Avatar DVD ASAP after it came out. Now I am all rabid for when the new episodes start coming out in July. And I cannot deny a little thrill of happiness that Kataang won the ship war (although I feel an equal amount of rage because I found out from 's journal that Avatar was supposed to be finished airing by now...).

On another... GO SEE IRON MAN. RIGHT NOW. It's, like, the most amazing thing I've seen in my life. It's definitely the best movie I've seen in at least two years. The only thing that ever matched my amount of excitement while I was watching it was during any sort of Avatar special (i.e., the season two finale). And that means that it is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY GOOD. GO SEE IT. IT WILL BE THE BEST EIGHT BUCKS YOU EVER SPEND IN YOUR LIFE.
