Overnight, the power unit to my laptop died a silent death and since the battery of the laptop has been as good as dead for a while, I can't even start it anymore. Worse, the guy at the shop (which is not where I bought it) told me - literally - that the power unit I had was an "exotic" component and they didn't have it at hand at all. There seems to be ONE online shop carrying a suitable replacement power unit and delivery takes three days, at least, excluding Sundays. It also costs a fortune, but like I said, it's an "exotic" component.

I can't imagine that there is damage to the laptop (all was fine when I went to bed), but looking at how life has been going for me the last few months, nothing would surprise, nor shock me right now.

I *do* know the actual injury for Nick Brown, which was reported on the next day, but I had something written up that I wanted to edit today, but I can't access it anymore. Not starting from scratch, either, and I don't just barf anything in here right now, because ... ah, I just generally can't handle **** anymore... This should not be interpreted as an indicator that the injury might be severe, and this sentence should not be interpreted as an indicator that the injury is not severe. Not tellin' right now.

ANYWAY. I'm on the previous laptop right now (the one that I LITERALLY bought at the grocery store) and it is not a pleasure. Since I can't access the Raccoons file the way things are right now, no update is going to come forth until at least the middle of next week. And in case the broken power unit fried the current laptop this morning - well, I don't know. I have no way of telling. The most recent external backup is from Opening Day.

**** my life.

Sounds like a mercy killing. The laptop couldn't bear to let you live in a post-brown world.
