Yay! Wireless works! I also found my ludicrously long ethernet cable, so I can lounge in bed reading fic properly. I am currently getting skeeved off that the main setting I want to change in Firefox involves checking the only checkbox which is *there* in the help file but *not* there in the actual options menu. Unimpressed, Firefox, unimpressed. Edit: Also, Windows is evil.
I finally remembered what specific book it was that the mood and tone of the Lemony Snicket movie kept reminding me of! Cien Años de Soledad! Yay! Magical Realism! This may explain why I was getting such strong incesty vibes from it, too, heh. 100 Years of Solitude also connects back to my ongoing annoyance with the university library-- it was the first fiction book I solenmly expected they'd have, hopefully in the original Spanish, seeing as it's rapidly becoming part of Western canon, not that they'd have one copy which was checked out (although looking right now, they seem to have acquired a few more-- maybe I'll try checking it out again tomorrow. When I go over to the library for wireless internet again. q:) Much the same way the library only has one Daniel Handler book, which is checked out until next year. They do, however, have a large collection of classic anime over in nonprint media services, courtesy of your friendly local anime club, and since I need to go over there for class anyway... except I don't need to get back into anime, I thought I was over that four years ago! (Darn you, Weiss Kreuz and FMA fandoms, with too much yaoi and not enough slash/gen/het!)
I've also decided to start reading![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
shoebox_espanol, since I've tried to read the English version several times and never got past Christmas without getting bored and wandering off. So I shall try it in a language I can barely read, and maybe manage it that way.
I'm also being amused at the accuracy of my answer on The Weirdness Test, although the three-week warning should probably refer to asking me out rather than breaking up with me. q:

Definately a bit on the wild side. You are probably a student of paranormal matters. People who get to know you are often surprised that you aren't as straight as they first thought. Your last girl/boyfriend was scared for 3 weeks after splitting with you, _just_in_case_. You intimidate petty authority figures, such as interviewers, bus conductors and moral rights campaigners.

What setting is that? You can almost certainly change it in about:config if it's not actually in the options menu. And what's Windows doing that's evil? It could be something I disabled when I last installed Windows on that computer, thinking that since it was something I'd never use it's something nobody would ever use.

And of course in general the way it treats me as if I have no clue what I'm doing and can't be trusted near a computer, which may well be *true*, but I'm not used to being treated that way anymore. q: Ah well, in a week or two I'll probably have remembered how to turn off/fix all that stuff.
The firefox setting I'd like to change is "Force links that open new windows to open in:" new tabs, which is supposedly a check box in the options menu, only: not. Until I followed your advice and went to about:config and flipped the boolean which made the checkbox then appear in the options menu, so that I could check it there. Still unimpressed, firefox.

And you could always fix the Firefox documentation, you know. Firefox is all crazy and open-source-like..
