I finally got around to ordering Snow Leopard on Sunday, and apparently it's already waiting for me at home! \o/ I can't wait for my baby to be all updated and shiny again. Also: Chrome! and the most recent version of iTunes! It's gonna be super sweet, you don't even know. (Of course, it's going to have to wait until late tonight since I'm meeting up with

max_n_leo for dinner before she heads back down to Virginia. Social life, bah. Who needs it.)

BUT IN MORE EXCITING NEWS I HIT LEVEL 85 LAST NIGHT RAH RAH RAH \O\ *\O/* /O/

Very carefully kept tally of where I was with XP and how much I'd get for completing dailies/quests, etc. until I figured out what it would take to trip it. I ended up playing for longer than I probably should have, but it was totally worth it to see Alundi go all shiny for a few seconds and the achievement to come up. The only thing that's weird now is not seeing the blue/purple progress bar above my spells. But whatever! I made the cap! A year(ish) before the new expansion is due out even!

*bouncy bouncy*

Still plugging away at various fic projects to varying degrees of success. I haven't been reading much in any of my fandoms recently. It's a combination of not being interested in most things that have been posted in the last few weeks (with a few exceptions), and being a lot burned out and annoyed by people in fandom at large. *shrug* Think I just need to ignore it all and concentrate on writing for a while. This is a good plan, y/y?

Anyway. That's the State of the Margaret, except for how I'm making my way through all the free shitty sci-fi novels Amazon offers, and that is a story for another time. (Oh my god, though. So shitty, you guys. But, you know, the one I finished last night was bad* AND YET I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT TWO BOOKS. WHICH ARE NOT FREE. THIS IS HOW THE DESCENT INTO MADNESS BEGINS, ISN'T IT.)

Uh, right. Happy Thursday, all!

*For one, I feel like a person who grew up on an Earth where all animal species died out/were hunted into extinction and the oceans were practically dry wouldn't know what shark skin felt like to the touch. But maybe that's just me.
