The bad news. . . my laptop upon which I rely for nearly everything is. . . D E A D! *ptooey* Good riddens I say. I will be disassembling it this Wednesday to sale the salvageables. Look for me on RJ's eBay (cus he has a seller rating of about 100billion so people will feel better about bidding with him).
The good news? Can there possibly be good news? YES!!! I am getting one of these. . .

For the other reader
- I thought I was going to be picky, but when I saw this machine I heard Kylie singing "Love at first sight."
- It is shiny, and you have to by the same machine EXACTLY to have one that looks even remotely like it. (At least that is true of the floor model at Best Buy Ft.C.)
To both of you.. thanks for not complaining too much when I took this break from the blog. It was much needed, and a full regaling of the things that have transpired is in the works.
