Nic and Mils,
I don't care what any dictionary says.
These aren't real words.

something apropos.
Rainy Days and Mondays - The Carpenters (1971)
I have yet to hear a female voice more beautiful, pure and controlled than Karen Carpenter's. I saw a made-for-tv movie about her life when I was about 9 and it was one of the most inspiring and moving things I'd ever seen (still to this day). My mom had us tape the movie the night it aired and I swear my sister and I played it back so many times we wore the VHS tape right out. I've been searching the internet for a copy of this movie for a while now. I think I may have finally found the real one. Yay.
Note to Claudia: Karen had a passion for the drums at a young age, and when everyone told her to just hold the mic and sing because a drum kit wasn't lady-like, she told them to eat it. Pretty bad ass for the time huh? ;)

busted up mac.
My mac laptop is broken and completely useless forevermore (i think).
I woke up on Saturday morning, pressed the space bar to 'wake it up from its sleep' and everything froze.
Hmmm.
I restarted the only way I really could. I pushed the button and held it until the screen went black and all sounds were nulled to complete silence. When it started up again, it took about 1 hour to call up the desktop screen and the only thing that loaded up was my background photo. W T F ?
Packed her up, got into my car and brought it right to the Geek Squad at Best Buy. Three dudes told me that they were sorry to say that although files could be backed up one way or another, there was NO hope for fixing it. The data processor motherboard thingy was all ruined and worn out and I'd just have to buy a new one.
PARDON???
I waltzed around the store in a daze glancing at the new shiny laptops with their insane pricetags. I'm envisioning having to pick one up this week, but I still want to get a second opinion from some mac nerds tomorrow. I'm using a PC for the time being and it's a very uncomfortable feeling.
