the saga of the keyboard

main
Quick quick update to say that my laptop is fine, the keyboard is dead and I'm getting a new one to replace it, and this usb keyboard is working fine for now. Very very glad to have a mostly working computer, and I've gotten one of those keyboard covers which is supposed to prevent spills from getting into your laptop because...yeah, I'm still going to eat things in the vicinity of my computer, I only have one table/desk.

Headed out to Iowa for a fencing competition, so I'll be gone all tomorrow. Between all of the reading this week (900 pages, wtf), the computer troubles, and life in general, I'm looking forward to a day of just having to drive around and hit people with swords.

BUT BEFORE I GO, a driveby rec for Doctor Who fic - which I don't seek out much anymore, but I saw something on who_otp, and then ran into this.

Sproid has several adorable UNIT slashfics posted, which is highly relevant to my interests and possibly to your interests? I particularly liked R&R in the Lethbridge-Stewart-Benton-Yates Household (John Benton/Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart/Mike Yates, short fluff), and Benton and Yates in Daring Escape from Aliens (John Benton/Mike Yates, longer actiony fic).

How was the fencing tournament?? I am from the Iowa! It's not exciting enough to use an exclamation point (as you must know by now) but I can muster enthusiasm for my homeland heh.

Driving around and hitting people with swords sounds like a heavenly sort of release.

It went well! I got into the top 8 (out of 20-odd people) - I had hopes of making the semi-finals, but I lost ot the guy who ended up taking 2nd.

My coach went to Iowa State, so I heard a lot about Iowa and talked to a lot of Iowa fencers, and it was kind of exciting after all :)
