my trusted little laptop that could, the one i've had for nearly five years, suffered a fatal heart attack on friday afternoon. i'm not sure if all the stress from the divorce caused it or if, perhaps, my little ibook that could just decided it can't anymore because it, too, thinks the winters in salt lake are completely and utterly unbearable! the kind and generous folks at the apple store informed me that no amount of life support would ever make its heart beat again. quel dommage!!
oh the woe and sadness this has caused. not to mention panic. because, since i'm a nakedgirl of very little brain, i have not backed up the contents of that little ibook that could in, oh, about three years. 3 years! gah. so there's all kinds of very important information, critical really, on that hard drive that i'm hoping and praying will be retrievable once i receive a brand new mac. it has to be a mac, you see, because i am quite allergic to pc's. so allergic that i cause them to smoke and whir and whine and groan just by standing near them. nakedjen+pc = disaster. just ask jim o'sullivan if you don't believe me. he'll gladly tell you about all the brand spanking new ones i have rendered useless just by trying to turn them on.
a girl has to hope and pray. that's all i've got these days. lots of naked hoping and praying.
meanwhile, i'm banished to the salt lake city public library. using their pc's. it's a very precarious thing. and they're not being so kind about accessing a blog called nakedjen! um, it's not a porn site. i promise!! i'm sure all of you can vouch for that, right?? silly librarians. they're supposed to be subversive, aren't they?
please stay tuned, internet. i promise we'll have this brief and tragic blogging hiatus remedied tout suite!
