Off-switch

If you're in Canada or the northern part of the US there's a good chance of northern lights tonight around 2 am EST.

I got a kobo three years ago. It worked for one year and then got frozen and none of the advice going on the internet would make it unfreeze. I left it plugged in to charge for days, but alas, it was a brick. Also, past warranty. Sadly, I put it on a shelf and made a mental note to bring it to the recycling depot at some point.

Today I was cleaning things and figures, well, might as well add it to the load...

But when I flipped open the cover, it was still frozen, but the book it was frozen on was different. I've got a bit of a dodgy memory, but the fact that it froze in the middle of a recipe meant that the cover in question was something I actually recalled, despite it being two years. The Adventures of Henrietta Street is not a cookbook. Feeling a bit silly, I went through all the motions of resetting the device and... nothing...

BUT THEN A GREEN LIGHT CAME ON!

The screen was still frozen, but after two years on a shelf I figured it could use some juice, so I plugged it in and IT IS ALIVE! WHEEE!!!

I can finally finish reading the EDAs now! And all the animorphs books I've got downloaded! And portable fanfic! Yeeeesssssss!!!!

calufrax is in even more desperate reccing straits than usual. If you enjoy reccing things, now is the time to act! Sign-up page is HERE.

Earlier this year I was posting about my best friend from high school who's mother passed away. She's had some worse luck since then and now has medical bills to deal with on top of grief for her mother, a young child, and a stalker ex. If any of you would be able to help her out that would be amazing. However, I know that times are hard all around. If you can't help, a signal boost would be much appreciated:

Title: In the Perpetual Spring
Word Count: 861
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Sixth Doctor, Peri Brown
Summary:

Peri had always been of the opinion that the size of a bed didn't matter so much as the technical ability of its users. The Doctor did have experience and talent, but his grandiose flourishes weren't suited to small spaces. Moreover, he had some very strange ideas about vegetables (that hadn't changed with regeneration, apparently). Peri really wished he'd go till his wild oats elsewhere.

This means that there will be a bingo IF I can manage to miraculously finish my Unconventional Courtships fic by tomorrow. Cross your fingers for me.

Catching up on a whole bunch of days at once. These are all short answers anyway, and probably happier sitting together in one post than being lonely little paragraphs on their own.

Wheee! lost_spook is running her commentfest again! I missed the party last year so I'm super excited about having a second chance to play. Anything British and not a megafandom is allowed.
