The truth is out there, dying a slow and lonely death.

"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." —George W. Bush, Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005

Fuck you, you fucking fuck.

I hadn't gone through my Friends page in three days and it took something like four hours to do. That was a sign it is time to trim it a bit. I only cut a few people and mostly cut groups, like wtf_inc and mock_the_stupid, which take up a seriously huge amount of reading time. I'll go back and peruse them from time to time, but I've decided I don't need to be *that* up on Internet happenings.

I arrived home yesterday after staying most of the week in Madison, working and taking care of my lightning-damaged vehicle, to discover that my PC won't turn on. Apparently, there was another immense lightning storm here on Wednesday and according to my roommate, the power flickered a bit, but that was it. So I can only assume that the power fluctuations shorted out my power supply. I should be used to this now; the most common reoccurring problem in my history of computer-usage has been power supply-related. Fuck. Thankfully, I have Jacquelyn's laptop while she's away on a research trip this weekend.

It's odd to be home, since I've actually been spending more time in Madison. Being a Cancer (and being thoroughly annoyed by it,) I am very homebound or home-centered, meaning that I definitely am a happier camper when I have a house, a home-base of operations, and right now I feel completely split down the center.

Yes, dear readers, that was a massive run-on sentence.

Psssst... don't tell anyone: I really miss Jacquelyn.

Intimidate those problems away!

I emailed my very computer-savvy friend Fabian, a.k.a. He-Whom-Before-Computer-Problems-Quake, to ask him to fix my PC on Monday. Not 10 minutes later, my computer started working fine.

Fabian works for a computer company, mostly doing repairs, and it is a common occurrence for a computer brought in to immediately start working in his presence. He doesn't even have to do anything, they just start working. Apparently this is a common occurrence for tech people.

This, however, is the first time I've seen it work with just the mere threat of Fabian.

Now, I wonder who I have to email to get my car to miraculously start working again.
