Compocalypse '09: All Good Things

... well, you know who they come to.

You know who they haven't come to yet? This guy (as my sister would say). We called Best Buy. The laptop was supposed to come in today (and bless those of y'all who actually remembered that it was supposed to come in today). Apparently it's on a truck somewhere (and not a UPS truck, because the Brown SWAT would sort that shit out for me with a quickness) and it won't be in until Wednesday. My mother was indignant. I was completely unsurprised. And we can't go get another one, because we've already paid for this one and our warranty/service whatever is specifically attached to the serial number hoodoo on this particular machine. I just shrugged and went on my non-computer-owning way.

I am completely over a lot of things summer, by the way. Mostly, it rained. And what did it rain? Drama. Besides, I tend to consider May in Alabama as being "summer"--it's not like I have any school to get in or out of, so it doesn't make any difference to me--so I've already had my full three months and then some. Summer is so five minutes ago. I am moving on to The Burnt Orange Season. Halloween, specifically. If stores can put up the Christmas displays at 9 pm, October 31st (and I actually witnessed this once), I can start gearing up for Halloween now. It'll help me get back into a Black Ribbon mood anyway.

(As a sidenote, I can't wait for the day that freakin' book is finally on a freakin' shelf and y'all can go, "My God, she went on about this thing on Livejournal for SIX YEARS." Actually, if I woke up and found out that elves had finished writing it for me in the night, the future publishing process would make it more like seven years. Oh, number seven, you so auspicious. And crazy.)

I've been planning my Halloween costume (Graverobber from Repo!) for over a month now, even though kids are still on summer vacation here. Bring on the The Burnt Orange!

Oh my god, I bet your costume is going to be awesome. I freaking love Graverobber. *thumbs up*

I've been planning mine since November 11th, 2008 :3. That's one reason I can't wait for October. The others are that it has the town festival (a week of awesome! and rides! and excuses to be smug at people who stayed up all night! and also, the awesome~) and it might finally cool off then...

Most of this comment is misplaced but I only put the rest because the mention of Project Maxwell made me want to add other reasons that I wanted August and September to GTFO.
