Without my laptop

feliciakwSo. The kitty used the laptop on my desk as a launching pad last night, it fell off the desk, and the power connector was damaged. So it's in the shop until next week. Ack! What will I do without it?
Well, I've got a busy weekend coming up, so maybe I won't miss it. It'll be good for me, right?
Besides, there's not much chatter going on about Show. My usual peeps are busy with RL; a lot of my cyber-peeps have apparently lost interest. I don't frequent many on-line haunts, but the one or two that I do, it's getting harder and harder to find a positive discussion about the show. I know there are those on my f-list (ficwriter :-) ) who are enjoying S7, and I'm really liking it very much. Yes, it has its problems, but it's still the one show I look forward to with anticipation each week.
No, it's not the "same" show that Izhi introduced me two four years ago. How could it be? The characters have changed and grown, the actors have grown, the writing team has changed (several times). The "magic is gone" for so many people, and that seems to be all I'm reading about. I'm not hearing about the show "now," I'm hearing about it compared to "then."
And with hiatus upon us in a couple of days, it's going to be even harder for this spoiler-allergic fan to tread the internet. Spoilers in thread subject lines. Spoilers in linked headlines. Separating "news" (like the on-line concert Steve Carlson had and Jensen sat in on) or pictures or whatnot from plot spoilers is going to be nigh impossible until it's too late and I've been spoiled.
Obviously, I have a computer at my disposal--the desktop computer. Which kinda ties me down.
So maybe this enforced respite will be a good thing. Get me to take a step back from fandom. Get me away from media and news (always depressing anyway). Get rid of the "noise" and talk to individuals (if they're available). Musey has been playing with ripples in the pool, but she's not fired up to get anything on paper.
I wish I could adopt Dean's "I don't care that I don't care," but right now, I'm just too tired to care.
So if I'm around even less than usual, that's why.
