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.

*no, I am not a jinx, no, I am not a jinx, no...*
Sorry you had the meltdown, glad to see you back. Email from me is just hi!, so that's one less to worry about.

I want a TSCITW! Well, second SCITW, then. One day soon.

Heh. Does Uzbekistan even have a defense grid? ;)

Welcome back!

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.

Gotta ask. What are the specs on the defense grid supercomputer? :-) I know what I'm craving, but always interested in others' acquisitions.

BTW -- Did the Kim tape arrive? There's another marathon come November, that I'll try to get for you too, plus the movie.
