It’s all because I forgot to bring my lunch today.
I was standing in line at my work’s cafe, waiting for my grilled cheese to go with my tomato soup, when Flashdance… What a Feelin’ came on.
Before I knew it, I was absently bopping my head and mouthing along.
Before the song ended, I had an overwhelming desire to watch the film again. I mentioned this to a co-worker. He pointed out that Flashdance is on Netflix. Nooooo! I thought (and said) Noooooo! It will be bad. It will be so bad. It will be [title-redacted-so-as-not-to-hurt-
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://i0.wp.com/www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
‘s-feelings] bad!
And then I thought… well… if it’s really bad, I can wash away the bad with the awesomeness of The Avengers (I’ve been on a Loki/Thor kick recently).
And THEN I thought… I could write an Avengers/Flashdance crossover fic where the Avengers have to go undercover as Flashdance dancers for some contrived reason, dancing ridiculously over-choreographed routines that no actual stripper EVER performs! In bright costumes! To cheesy 80’s tunes!!
Just… just imagine: Hulk smash! Water… SPLASH!!

I… I might HAVE to do this.
I’m sorry to the world.
Let this be an object lesson. NEVER forget your lunch!

see, i first heard about it sunday, but it was from Dave Barry, who often makes these things up. i’d yet to confirm it with a reliable source.
so don’t you go thinking you got the skinny on us, lass…
arrrrrrrrrrrh.
That really sucks. 😦 Here’s hoping for the best, that all the important stuff is safe.
Curses! I hope the damage in minimal and that the new ‘puter arrives ASAP.
Crap! When you told me it was going in and out I didn’t realize you were still using it. I would have eeped repeatedly about bad power supplies.
Well, at least you have backups. Backups good.
OMG, glad you’re okay!
I ordered a new power supply for my laptop off of ebay and the powercord did the same thing…
I plugged it in, it fizzled, wires exploded, and it set my carpet on fire (just for a brief moment.)
That’s some scary stuff…I hope you can get your docs recovered!
Here’s hoping to a recovered harddrive! And yikes but that is one exciting incident I hope never to partake in.
