About two weeks ago, a bartender spilled a beer on my cellphone, breaking it. This was lame, but also liberating. I couldn't call anyone whenever I wanted, from anywhere. But I also felt free. Never the less, last week when my phone came in was a happy day for me. Today, as I was putting on my clothes, a heavy bookend from on top of a bookcase fell onto my powerbook, damaging it profoundly. Right now it's in the care of repairmen charging me large amounts of money ($280) to attempt to recover the contents of the drive, for about another $600 I can get the laptop fully functional again. This is another, significant blow to my pocketbook, and to my ability to communicate. Upside, I think I'll read more books. Downside, money that I need to move to grad school jumping out of my pocket.
