Back Online, Itchin' to Write

Wow, have I got some serious catching up to do here, and at Gapersblock.com! Finally received my new laptop this week, and it’s taking some adjusting. It’s lighter, which is good, but somewhere along the way I came to associate the weight of my old computer with quality. It had substance. I mean, it was my first laptop, and it was there for me all through grad school. Have you ever seen that episode of Sex and the City where Carrie’s computer crashes and she loses everything? Then when Aiden buys her a new one, she has a difficult time accepting it—all she wants is her old one, her baby. Well, that’s sort of how I feel right now. Luckily, I had all my documents backed up (I don’t know how I could go on without them, seriously), but I lost most of my pictures and all of my music.  Oh well. Cest la vie! I’m sure I’ll be crazy about my pretty new purple computer in no time (despite the fact that AFTER I dropped the cash, everyone’s telling me how much Dell sucks)!
