I’m sitting in my living room getting ready to watch the Oscars, and guess what I’m typing this on? The dead computer. My mother-in-law took it to another computer guy last week, who started it up (which we’d been unable to do) and couldn’t find a thing wrong with it. I’m utterly confused.

Monday morning update!
That was a rather short-lived reunion. The computer worked fine yesterday evening. Today? It turned off while I was trying to import some songs into iTunes. And it won’t come back on. Again. I’m hoping it has at least one more miraculous resuscitation, though, because now I can’t get the CD that I was trying to import to iTunes to eject.

We’re under a blizzard warning today. A blizzard warning. To which I say: Really, winter? Really? Enough already.

The only heat source we have is electric, so I am mildly panicked any time it’s cold out and they mention “possible widespread power outages.” Right now, the snowflakes are just lightly blowing about. But if they start coming down in earnest? I could escalate to full-scale panic.

Although a better idea might be to go buy a propane heater.
