well. shortly after 2:30 this afternoon, PenPen, my faithful computer, called it quits. it seems his motherboard failed him. We can only hope his passing was painless and that he will rest in peace.

i'm currently conspiring on how i might acquire a new machine, since i kinda need it for work... ...and for my sanity. until then, i'm stuck with chii - which is ok, but somewhat less than ideal.

~PS

I remember many a fond night playing Baldur's Gate and watching Homestar Runner on Pen-Pen. Alas, poor PenPen! I knew him, Jared: a fellow of infinite RAM, of most excellent cover. He hath borne me on to websites a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rises at it. Here hung those speakers that I have listened I know not how oft. Where be your MP3's now; your playlist, your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar (when the bass was cranked up)? Now cracks a noble motherboard. Good-night, sweet computer, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
