In the middle of the night last night, my home computer died. The sudden prevalence of unusual silence woke me out of a sound sleep; instead of the gentle lull of the hard-drive's white-noise whirrings, I heard my husband coughing in another part of the house, a big truck lumbering down my street, and the dog scratching himself.
I don't know what's wrong with my computer yet - it's a fairly new machine - as I didn't have time to look at it before coming to work this morning, but the symptoms it is exhibiting do not induce optimism in my black little heart. I can't blog regularly from work, as my ouevre is edgy enough to cost me my job, if I were discovered. I'm nervous about even checking my e-mail here.
So - I'm off the air until further notice. I will, of course, be back as soon as possible. Ciao, you freaks. I adore you all.

In any case, I hope you're up and running VERY SOON.
Your country needs you.

My son, as a toddler, thought the little red light on the power strip was the cat's ass, and decided to see what it did. He found out it made dad crazy. If that sounds condescending, I apologize, but you'd be suprised at how many times, "dead" things are the result of something so simple like a loose connection, it's amaze you. It amazes me. Many times my loose connection is between the chair and the keyboard. 'Puter's dont require oil, so they dont just usually freeze up and quit on you. I'm sure all this is old hat to you, but I just thought I'd try to walk a 1/2 mile in Mr. Helpful's shoes. I did, and now, my feet stink.
