May 22: Blee.

Hello friends,

Today I come to you from a remote and unusual location, also known as the computer just outside of my room here at home. You see, my laptop has been occupied all day. It has, with my assistance, been trying to overcome the fact that it has become a rather expensive piece of junk. Perhaps, I go too far... It has been somewhat sluggish lately, making things like posting questions difficult, and I've spent the greater part of this day trying to correct this issue. However, as I type this it is still occupied, running one of the many scans/updates/general maintenance processes that have indeed been running for many hours now. I can not tell you how many times I have cursed the names of Microsoft and Dell today for joining forces to create this very complex piece of frustration. As a result, I will not be able to post a question this evening. Now you may say, "But you're on a computer right now! Just do it from there you lazy bum!" And I would say back to you, "Well, there are other factors involving this particular computer that do not allow me to do this. I would go into details, but really it isn't any of your concern. So mind your own business, jerk." Then you would probably get all defensive and an argument, or perhaps a fistfight, would break out (I would win). But we don't want these things to happen, so I'll just say that we'll be back up and running on Monday and we can all get on with our lives.

It streams from the hills,
