ARRRRRGH. The hard drive on my desktop is farked. I spent most of yesterday trying to figure out what's wrong, but was unsuccessful. There's one more thing I'm going to try tonight when I get home, but if that doesn't work, then I'll need a new one. pthhbbbt.

But, in doing all that work yesterday, I discovered Puppy Linux, and I am SO tempted to make that my official OS of choice. Look at it! The logo is a PUPPY! and it's amazingly fast and light and easy to work with. Sadly, since I'm so reliant on Adobe products, I doubt I'll ever do it (yes, I know about Wine, but its stability with Adobe products is still questionable. Maybe in the future!)

Also, does anyone have recs for TV shows? I'm looking for some summer watching. Have been thinking about It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia since it seems to be my sort of humor, but wanted to see if there was anything else out there.

Wine is such shite. I trust it about as far as I can throw it. I'm with you; I hate to be so reliant on Windows seeing as how I abhor it, but Linux barely has ported software. *sigh* Puppy is good actually. Have you ever tried Xubuntu or Fluxbox?

My favorite shows right now that I'm not sure I've seen you talk about before (therefor maybe you don't already watch!) are Leverage, Psych, Chuck, and Burn Notice. They are all filled with AWESOME.

I just finished watching It's Always Sunny and I definitely think you'll enjoy. Everyone is terrible on the show but delightfully so.

I'd also second Burn Notice if you like watching explosions and seeing gratuitous shots of scantily clad women. Plus Bruce Campbell is pretty much completely awesome and adorably sunburned all the time. Psych is one of my favorites but it's very light-heartened (when people aren't being murdered or living through Friday the 13th.

True Blood is my official summer show but the first season is pretty boring and it's pretty campy verging on cheestastic.

Not sure exactly what shows you watch aside from SPN, but I highly recommend Always Sunny, it's one of my favorites. Others that I like are How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, CSI NY and Vegas the Miami one isn't horrible but I like the other two better. That's all I can think of at the moment and I'm not sure if you already watch some of those.

Leverage and Psych are great summer shows! I hear White Collar is, too.

I just started Always Sunny and I'm loooooving it so far XD

Ooh, and I wouldn't call it summer viewing, Skins is amazing, especially series 1-2 :D

Thirding Burn Notice. Things go 'splody. Bruce Campbell. Epic win.

You might like Leverage. It's a Robin Hood-ish heist show. Parker and Hardison are the stars of the show, IMHO.

White Collar is very pretty and best watched through slash-colored goggles. Mozzy is built for paranoia-oriented sillyfic.

True Blood is also pretty and slightly porny. (It's HBO, so. Duh, I guess.) I kinda wanna hit half the characters with cluesticks, though. Fun fact: the blondie in Lady Gaga's Paparazzi video is one of the main characters. Hooray for Sweden!

The United States of Tara is cracked. Multiple personalities as portrayed by Toni Collette.
