Me too.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We should start a club!

The status is NOT quo.
Thanks, guys. It's not the hard drive, I don't think. Sean and I determined last night that it's probably the optical drive or some such. I can't find the os CD (ND has it stashed somewhere in his office. Anyone who has seen ND's office understands.), and since there is now a music CD in the drive that doesn't want to come out, we're doubly screwed. (Yes, I put it in there to see if distracting the drive with a shiny CD would help. What.) So I have a genius bar appointment for 2 today. Thankfully I took today off for Byron's surgery anyway.

I had the Star Trek books, and I hardly even watched Star Trek. But I still read the books! And I have them still!

I actually read the books before I started watching the show.
I was greatly surprised when things I remembered from the books didn't happen in the episode.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I also had the books and was also surprised.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Recently I grabbed all the Blish Trek books from my parents' house. They were all in good condition. Out of curiosity, I went on eBay to see how much they were worth.
Not much. There must be a ton of those books floating around....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gah. I'm completely blanking on the name of the software I need to buy to have a more detailed look at the mess that is my PC this evening--basically chkdsk on steroids. Help?
