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:
