2009 looks better

Quick update: got the laptop back - life goes on! Yay Obama! Januaray = 5 papers due. Three of which are due this coming Monday. More next week about Paris, photos of beautiful January, the Apple Mac laptop repair story, and really nothing else since I've been glued to reading and writing. Hope you all are enjoying life these days!!

What a bummer of 2009

My laptop took a dive into oblivion by itself. It's being repaired. My friend Josh compared it to being grounded: no internet after 7:30pm, no music, no movies, no television, no phone calls, no shopping.

I have been restricted internet access for a week now. Life is very different without the great umbilical cord. You should try it sometime. There are some amazing hand-held books out there that are printed on soft paper and have magic words in interesting fonts. There's also a lot more sleep to be had. And, more experimentation in cooking.

I'll be back online sometime this week hopefully. I recommend that you go today and buy server space in the sky, and back up your computer every night. Or, at least every other night. Unless you want to lose papers that you worked a week on.

This is definitely not an indication of the year to come. I refuse that.
