OK Computer
Long-time readers and friends may remember the car saga of November 2003, in which I paid seven or eight hundred dollars getting my stupid car fixed. The computer had to be replaced.

Well guess what?

Now, a year and a half later, déjà vu. I just got off the phone with the mechanic, and he says that as the engine heats up, the computer has been heating up too. So when it gets to operating temperature, the damn thing stops working. This is why my car dies when I'm almost home or almost to work. They don't have a quote yet for the replacement computer; they will have to call a dealership tomorrow. How is it that a year-and-a-half old computer dies, when the one that was in my computer originally runs just fine for eight-and-a-half years?

So, I know you're probably sick to death of hearing about my car. Believe me, I wish I had better things to write about. Hmm. We get the keys to our new place this week... so get ready for an onslaught of moving tales.

In other news, beating people to death isn't going to make this whole terrorism crisis better. Sometimes the world is a really depressing place.
