Gozer has been busted, and his replacement... well...

So. Gozer the Evil Computer shuffled off this mortal coil semi-unexpectedly Monday night. Can't say I was really thrilled about that. And now I am the terrified owner of The Scariest Computer In The World, not to mention a gaping wound through my poor little credit card's heart. TSCITW is huge, black, shiny and much, much smarter than I am. I'm sort of afraid to touch it. What if I accidentally hit a button and end up with access to Uzbekistan's defense grid? TSCITW totally looks like that would be possible.

Anyway, I have three days of email to catch up with (though most of that's probably spam), my friendslist is at skip=yikes!, and I'm thoroughly daunted by the thought of catching up with everything. How on earth do people sign off for weeks at a time and ever get back on track? So if I owe you email/comments/feedback/whatever, it's coming. I hope. Assuming I don't accidentally crash the stock market or bomb Peru instead of opening the right program. You never know.

Aw. *mourns Gozer*

Hee! Once again, you reduce me to giggles. I'm sure you'll get the hang of TSCITW. I have faith!

Dude, I know what you mean. I miss a day or two and I'm sunk. A week would kill me and I'd never catch up.

You know, as much as I complained about Gozer and said mean things about him and cursed his very existence... I really miss him. And not just because I've suddenly jumped from Windows98 to XP and have no idea where anything is anymore, and because I'm afraid TSCITW is secretly reprogramming my appliances to rebel against me when I least expect it. Gozer was a good computer, for an evil monster. Alas. :(

I'm catching up on comments completely randomly and slowly. People will probably still be getting replies and comments on the stuff from this week two months from now. Whee, time warp!

Awww. ::sheds a tear for Gozer:: I'm kinda feeling the same way about my laptop (which they tell me not to put on my lap...oy). It's shiny and new and I'm afraid I'll break it.

Now I have that song stuck in my head. Brat :P
