long lost love

I found you! Ha. I broke down and bought a computer today so I can blog.

Confession/Narrative Tale of how I came to own a brand new 13" MacBook
I bought my other computer refurbished in September 2005. I've been in denial of its deathlike condition for over a year-- I could never call in computer hospice because it could perform some of its functions sometimes. And, I hate how Mr. The Man designs technology to be obsolete in three years. It's amoral, and I feel icky being involved in the system. But, here I am.

My sister makes fun of my Mac addiction to my face: "It doesn't make you cooler." I know. How could I possibly get cooler? I'm already at the pinnacle (comment on that). So not to be a Steve Job drone, I tried a Dell for about a week last April. But, I couldn't do it. I just didn't like it. Then, I traveled all summer. Then, I nestled back into my work routine and got busy sans computer.

One day, I looked at my blog. It'd been two months since my last entry! It'd be one thing if I'd given birth and breast-feeding every two hours. Lactation and motherhood are decent excuses. A broken computer is not. A broken computer is easy enough to remedy if I'm willing to go on a financial fast, which I just signed onto.

I've missed blogging-- the discipline of sitting down on a regular basis to put together some paragraphs together. I don't write genius, but it is the quotidian that makes up the majority of life. Writing sorts out my messy thoughts and feelings. It reminds me of the shape and Author of my life.

So, I'm back in the saddle.
