Oct. 4th, 2006 11:38 amI am back! At Uni! And I finally managed to get the internet in my room working. Turns out all I had to do was draw a pentagram around my computer, burn desert incense on the monitor, recite the Lord's Prayer backwards, circle widdershins, and hop up and down on one leg wearing a tutu. Oh, and disconnect the DSL cable and reconnect while the computer was on.

In other news, I have discovered that Pterry fans can be identified through subliminal messaging. First night back, I went to get a burger from the burger bar to welcome myself back (Best thing that could be done to a cow ever) and started chatting to the guy behind the counter and catching up with what we'd been doing and where we'd been over the summer, which led to him admitting -

Me: *narrow stare* Do you read Terry Pratchett?
Him: Yeah, I do.
Me: That was a quote...
Him: Sam Vimes!
Me: The Fifth Elephant!
...we did stop short of naming the page and line number, but we did stand there for ages trading trivia while a line built up behind me and the cook mocked us for our dorkitude.
