Good news, bad news

Oct 31, 2008 14:05

The bad news is that my computer (my darling, wonderful Macbook) won't boot. It just - looks for the hard drive... which isn't there.

The good news is, I have my music on my iPod, and most of the/what little writing I've done lately has been done in Gmail or private LJ posts, so I wouldn't have to carry flash disks back and forth. But... a lot of pictures may be lost, as well as my number one favorite porn video, sigh. I think all the Jeeves and Wooster is backed up, I know the SGA is, but - still. It's my BABY. I'm typing this on Mr. Pi's iBook and it feels so huge and clunky. We're probably going to have to ship my Macbook off to be worked on, waaaah!

Anyway.

The other good news is that I took today off work, and in just a little while (half hour or so), Mr. Pi and I will pick the Pi-lettes up and head to a church retreat at a nearby state park. I know, that doesn't sound like much fun, does it? But when I say "church retreat," you should probably sub in "extended low-key weekend party." Basically, it's three days of sitting around on cabin porches, playing indy folk music on guitars, hiking through the woods, doing a spooky late-night graveyard walk, lounging on the dock of the lake with your feet up on the rails and a good book in your hands, drinking a lot of wine (if that's how you roll, and that's how I roll), and maybe doing a little sketching if you happen to take along your sketchbook.

I am totally planning to enjoy the hell out of myself. :-) ...And I'll see you all on the flip side.
