My dell is back up and running! Their customer service was absolutely unbelievable, and the warranty has already paid for itself. Turns out that it wouldn't come on because the power connecter had come off or loosened from the mother board. I needed a new motherboard (which I got), and they gave me a new adapter and a new battery (with six hours (!) life like my original)... all for free. No complaints, perfect english, and they came to my house! Woo-hoo! Well, I guess it wasn't free. We did pay for the warranty, but the parts exceeded the cost of the warranty by about a hundred dollars.

Now that I have a computer again, I should be able to put up some new stuff. I'm not going to promise, though, because every time I do, I'm thwarted. Erg. We'll see.

I need new colored pencils.

Other than that, I have become Master of the Grill!

Forget that, I'm FREAKIN' MASTER OF THE HOUSE. I keep everything clean, herd the parents around, and can cook anything their little hearts desire.

... because I can't get a job for some reason... and they sent me to college...

But none the less.

And grilling is awesome. You all should learn. It involves very little in the way of dishes. Very little.
