Apolno.

I must have a lot of work to do- because I feel a sweeping desire to carve out my observances in mega potentailly gigabites.

SOo I have this computer. Named Apollo- I like to name things after greek gods- like my computer, and bike... which is also named apollo- so scratch that I like to name things after Apollo.

Anyway it's busted so might as well just call it Apol-no.

I get that it has a busted hinge and a duct taped power cord to hold the little fibers in place- really its just like a neuron that I have done the work of myelinating it so it has a more effective transmission. But the things a fucking trooper.

Durability. Number one requirement. for life. Its been implied that I'm not the best about "taking care of things" no. your right I dont pamper things. Anything that sticks around takes a beating and comes back for more. Apolno being a prime example. Last night it played this little pity game of flickering its lights and turning off. In a panic I call brother and father and tell them the situation- considering my history the shock value is non-existant. Plan- titanium case IBM thinkpad. To compliment my titanium double thick leather encased cell phone and steal bicycle.

ANyway - the word Karma is ringing in my ear as I trudge over to ACS to see if they can salvage my research paper or nutrition assignment. The girl at the computer instructs me to pull out my computer and turn it on- not bothering to remove her eyes from the screen infront of her or refraining from the relentless click of her pointer finger against the one buttoned mouse. Low and behold, my computer turns on like normal the little lights in the corner flickering on - winking at me as if it had worked the entire time but had just refused to do so last night in spite- to teach me some kind of lesson for treating it so bad. Fool.

So here I am open computer in one hand- maxtor external harddrive in the other- transfering my life- bracing the hinge to avoid any connection malfunction- walking briskly to the closest library to plug the dang thing in before the 7 minute battery life runs out.

Well I made it and so did my computer as I sit here blogging instead of studying for my midterm in T-2 hours. classic.

But what next right? do I shut my computer and risk it not turning back on? Or do I go to my mifterm with an open computer in front of me- I hear thats fine.
