chicafrom3To everyone who responded to my last post: Hello, I love you, you're incredibly wonderful and I'm amazed by you all. *huge hugs* And I swear I did not mean to hide under the rock quite this long. But my laptop died a week ago last Monday, and I do mean 'died'. For good this time. It has been consigned to the electronics dustbin in the sky. I talked to the computer repair place I use and they said they might be able to fix it for like $400 and they remembered it and wouldn't it make more sense to just replace it?
So as of about an hour ago I have a brand new computer, which I am writing this to you from. I'm getting used to it, it's gonna take a while, but it's a huge upgrade from my antique POS, much as I loved that thing. This one's pretty and sleek and new and has like actual memory and stuff. Now I just need to build up something comparable to all the stuff I had on the old one...
Yeah, when I said the old one was dead? Completely dead. Not recovering anything off it. Everything I had on the externals I still have, so my music library and video files are safe, but everything else -- photos, documents, programs, fonts, all that -- pretty much completely gone. Um.
I have named the new laptop Sally Maclennane, Sally for short, because I am a dork like that. She also has a webcam, but I have not yet figured out how to use it. I'll figure it out, eventually.
In other, non-computer, RL news: Emerald Beat officially closed, a week ago last Monday. There were tears. There were hugs. There were pranks and general silliness. I miss my cast, I miss my crew -- I crashed a Monster Stomp rehearsal looking for a wrench yesterday, ran into one of my former spot ops, got tackled by a hug that took me off the ground and five minutes of conversation about how jealous I am of the MS lighting design and how much I wish I was working it. Yes.
But Jack Is Back is going to be...cheesetastic but not unfun.
I missed you guys! Once I get Sally here reasonably up to date I'm going to go as far back through my flist as I can, but if there's anything I really should pay attention to, anything you want to link me to, any news I should know about having been out of touch for almost two weeks, this is the place.
I just wanted to let you guys know I'm still alive, 'cause I <3 you guys hardcore.
