Damn the Physical

As always, its the physical things that cause the problems. Sunday morning I arose to discover my laptop off. This was a bit surprising- especially when I booted it and discovered many fsck problems. This afternoon it turned itself off while I was working. Surprising considering it was plugged in.

So I swap batteries with nates laptop (haha! The sucker is still on his June Term in India!) and things work. But its not for another hour that I realize that the reason is that I sat my recliner down and sliced through my power cable. I got scared and dropped it as sparks hot out of the exposed metal. Apparently it was shorting out through the support structure of our sofa. Kinda creapy.

Anyway its always the physical that gets me down. Grr. Good thing Nate doesn't get back for a few days...
