The end of humanity as we know it

Yet again, I'm confused by a lack of a blinking cursor. Maybe we're just meant to assume that there'll be a cursor there - pretty soon, you'll start typing in the kitchen bench, staring at your partner's forehead, and a whole garble of text will spill out of their receding hairline... thanks to an unseen cursor.

But really, my home computer is working again. For ages, I've had White Ninja as my homepage, realising all too soon that Men In Hats had long since ceased, though now, I think, another change is in store: Shelf Check. An incidentally queer web-comic about a cynical librarian in a public library. I rethought my approach to it when telling another queer librarian about it on this weekend previous, it occurring to me as I beamed at it's awesome out-ness that her sexuality isn't made a big point of per say - it's mainly just the 025 geekery. Truth be told, another good contender for homepage fun is this one... though I'm slightly ashamed to name it.

I feel I need a rug to cover up my bedroom PC now that I can actually use it again, though. It's been nice to have one less thing that I can do in my bedroom. Sort of liberating, I suppose.

You at the back - stop sniggering.

And, in conclusion, I've been able to master a somewhat resonant librarian glare... FINALLY! Someone on their phone, me staring at their back, their friends picking up my daggers and poking the person heaps... oh, it was fabulous.
