My Secret Cyborg Life

osprey_archerI HAVE INTERNET AGAIN!!!! I did something to my walljack or possibly my ethernet cord or maybe just somehow angered the internet gods, but my internet wasn't working yesterday, and not to be dramatic about it, but it was like having a limb lobbed off.
Seriously. Apparently I am a cyborg.
***
But I made good use of my internet-free evening - or, anyway, used it, though I'm not sure watching The Pirates!: Band of Misfits actually counts as good use. It's like a bunch of screen-writers got drunk and hilarious and cobbled together a farcical plot, and failed to people it with characters sufficiently likable or engaging to make up for the fact that the movie was nonsense.
I like nonsense, but it does need to be nonsense with a soul.
***
Lizzie Bennet Diaries: WE'VE FINALLY MET DARCY!!! Or at least Darcy's suspenders. If they manage to film the entire next video without showing us his face, I may throw a temper tantrum.
I'm so curious how they're going to get these two crazy kids together, because Lizzie really, really hates Darcy, even more than Elizabeth hated him in the book, and with even better reason: is there any good reason for LBD Darcy to think that Jane's a gold digger? And Caroline knows about the videos, so couldn't she tell her brother that, no, Jane really is into you?
