Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Up with the sun

I feel like I should remember when my brother was born -- I was three and two months -- but I don't. I remember a few things from being three and four, like preschool, and learning how to read, but I don't really remember my brother until he was old enough to play with.

Also, my work desktop is a repeating orange pattern that came as a default with the Mac. I keep meaning to change it, but I keep not doing so. Inertia rules my world. At home, I have a picture of All That You Can't Leave Behind-era U2.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

My wallpaper is a photo of my siblings, at work. At home, it is still a photo from the Red Sox winning the World Series, because I have not gotten around to changing it.

If I only had a brain...

I didn't know Ayn Rand had owned a home in the Bay Area!

This was the Charlotte house.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Changing my wallpaper is one of the things I can't do on my work computer. Restricted access, baby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Changeing my wallpaper is one of the things I can't do on my work computer.

In theory I can't. But I can replace the whatever.bmp it goes back to on rebooting with my own BMP file, and I do. First Legolas, then the Batman Begins poster, and now Wondie.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My current work desktop is the Lost cast silhouetted against a stormy sky with the title in big translucent letters.

Home desktop is an incredibly hot friend suntanning bareassed on a floaty raft.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I need a new wallpaper for my work computer. My old monitor only went up to 1024x780, but my current one's 1280x1024, and I don't like seeing the edges of my desktop image.

I've found that Windows does a pretty good job of stretching and compressing within reasonable boundaries -- have you given that a shot?

I can't find much that fills my entire desktop (2048x1536) without outside assistance. Or even gets close.

Work wallpaper is a picture of the kids all dressed up. Home laptop is a picture of *memfault* glacier I took last year on our cruise to Alaska. Both are pictures that I love, love, love and beat hands down the ugly work logo wallpaper that we're supposed to use..ugh

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

At home is the H2G2 movie poster, and the saver is Marvin. If I have the volume up, leave the room and forget about the screen saver, it's a little alarming having Alan Rickman coming from the computer room going "God I'm bored..."
