We picked the Utterly Unreliable Computer up from the fix-it folks today, and so far it hasn’t died again. This isn’t because it’s been fixed, though, because that would’ve cost $600. And if I had $600 I would buy a pound of chocolate, not a new LogicBoard.

(That’s probably untrue.)

Anyway.

I fully expected to get the howling fantods from being removed from the computer (and you, dear dear Internet) for that long. But as it turns out, I was fine. I started that book and went to the gym a lot and played with the kids even more and went to the lake. You know, I kinda had a life. And that was nice, so that and (interestingly enough) “Infinite Jest” have me reassessing the way I’m spending my time. Balance, is what I’m looking for, I think. That and lunch. I could definitely go for some lunch.
