My computer is toast. We had a massive lightning storm a few nights ago, and my building which is by no means spectacular or tall or covered in television aerials, was hit 4 times. One of these times found its way into my computer, despite surge protectors and bubble wrap and disguising the computer as a refridgerator so the lightning wouldn't find it. Once I found the box the surge protector came it, it displayed within a starburst design "Now Without Warranty!" So I'm pretty much screwed. All the money I (wisely, I guess?) saved for moving from Orlando will have to go to a new computer. Not that it is a personal necessity, I can live without the internet, sure, I can say that. But most of my schoolwork now relies on internet workshops and communicating and sharing work with group members online. I can't keep going to the school library and wait 45 minutes for a donated Apple II from 1987 just to send an email. So I'm fucked, whatever. Anyway, for the one or two of you (most likely one) that noticed my absence. This is why.
