Mood: panicked - yet calm. (A bit maniacal even?)
Currently Listening To: The Prodigy "Breathe", Elvis Presley vs JXL "Little Less Conversation."
So recently, well, not so recently, but still recently, my computer decided its time on this earth had come to an end. Which was slightly confusing, considering it was only a child of two months or so old. This 'minor' setback, as IT called it, erased 1.5 scientific endeavors (Modcon, Modsim), the story I had been working on (I think you all know what that was.), and came right before the weekend when my relatives came to visit, and I just was forced to entertain them the entire day through - Yuck.
However, this divine kick in the rump - as it were - pushed my dusty butt into flight. I was forced to recreate all I had lost, or, in the wise words of Jayson Ho, "Perhaps you should kick it into manual and punch the turbo? Yo."
Well, I guess you could say what I've done was punching the turbo, or what popped into my head a few hours ago, a "sophisticated afterburner." Not much else makes me decide to stop slacking off and start working than getting very far behind. The ones in charge can say all they want about how finishing a few days before its due means you have so much free time! But I never usually do that.
Until catastrophe happens.
So in a way, I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm thankful for my computers premature proverbial kick of the bucket. I've caught up on most, if not all of my assignments - only one big one left that I believe I know people are looking forward too.
Now if only I could find a catastrophe to make me start doing art again.
Psh - too much wishful thinking for one day there fella.
-LK/MM out.

I love your writing- you don't let the different medium cramp the wonderful personality you convey in verbal conversation. The style works so well with the humor, and the irony is wonderful :)
I'm sorry about your computer :( I'm impressed with your attitude about the ordeal, though. Your optimism is remarkable.
This Jayson Ho sounds like a calm, collected, and clear-thinking individual. Is he real or fictional?
Also, who or what is "LK"?
By the by, excellent taste in music/mood.
I agree with nilgolodh-- your voice is striking in its affability. you must have been an easy baby... I can't imagine losing my work. In fact, your catastrophe moved me to back up my novel, something I don't do nearly enough, and would DIE if I lost. I would not take the crash w anywhere near as much grace as you did. YOU NEED TO DO MORE W THIS BLOG. IT IS A NATURAL MEDIUM FOR YOUR VOICE.
You are also very keen w titles.
I agree w nilogolodh! remarkable optimism! impressive.
