Powerless. Literally.
I woke up this morning, packed my tiny suitcase, cuddled my even tinier nephew one last time, then got in my mother's car for the trip to the airport.
I left my laptop's power cord on my sister's kitchen counter. *headdesk*
And yes, I actually checked online to see if any local stores stock Toshiba power adapters, but I'm not shameless enough to pay a hundred bucks for a very quick fix. Fortunately, my laptop has a reeeeeeally great 5-hour battery, though I currently only have an hour and a half left on the charge. Also fortunately, I have two other computers here at home. They're not great, but they'll do for a couple of days until my brother-in-law fedexes me the power cord.
Y'know, there are some things that are so typically ME. Leaving a laptop power cord in another state would be one of them. And this icon of my new nephew bawling his eyes out feels quite appropriate right now. ;)
ETA1: Friday Night Lights won a Peabody! As did Ugly Betty, The Office, Good Eats, and ... Scrubs? (Three seasons ago? Sure.)
ETA2: NBC has renewed 30 Rock! Given that Kevin Reilly said he expected to renew either 30 Rock or FNL -- and hopefully both -- I'm crossing my fingers extra-hard for my Dillon Panthers.
