A friend is going through some strange times in their life.. strange times that put me in an unusual situation. All that there is, is to hope things turn out well in the end, whatever is tried or whatever happens. I know what I want, but don't know if it's even possible, near term or far, and there are other possibilities that would still be satisfying and good in that situation. Such, however, is much of life. Lack of predictability and incomplete information are part of what sets the playing ground for our notions of autonomy and choice that we need to be happy. Only through being incomplete can we find joy. There is also joy in giving, to the right people, and that joy can be exhilarating.
My 2 eBay power supplies arrived, and it is indeed my laptop that is messed up. I'm going to ship it back to dell, meaning that I get to do complete backups again. No laptop for awhile.. Joy. I am, however, still massively enthused about my new toy. The idea of having a repaired laptop actually makes me happy too -- perhaps they'll fix some of the other minor stuff while it's in there.. a tune-up for my laptop, perhaps.
I updated the "characters" page on this BLOG. Enjoy.
And now, for maybe 45 minutes of nap, and then perhaps either I'll hang out with N or go running, depending on what happens.
