Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

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..."

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

For some reason, my only options here are Tile or Center. Stretch seems to have been disabled. (No, I don't understand it either. I can install Firefox, but I can't stretch my wallpaper.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My desktop is my nephew in a superman costume. i swear, it's the only thing keeping me from putting my fist through the computer most days.

I have a wallpaper from the badgerbadgerbadger site, da Vinci's famous drawing of a human figure with the arms and legs spread, but it's a badger.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have Emeline and me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I forgot to add that, due to Jessica's ridiculously cool link from a few weeks back, I am totally changing my wallpaper on the home computer to a picture of the wall behind the computer as soon as I get the latest roll of film developed.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I haven't bothered switching from a basic Mac wallpaper, but my screen saver is a bunch of Hubble telescope images.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My current wallpaper is a photo of Franny and her best friend holding hands and smiling. I lurve it.
