Georgia is D.O.A.

*sob*

So, Georgia crashed tonight.  I am currently booting her off the install disk and I’m getting a bunch of red lines with “incorrect data amount” and “1 volume could not be repaired” messages.  This may necessitate a reinstall, which is just wrong considering I just reinstalled not two weeks ago because I finally got the gumption to replace her primary 125GB HD with a newer 250GB.  This does not bode well for my weekend plans which were supposed to be filled with bright lights and games.  Perhaps I will take her to the LAN party at XAKTsoft this weekend and reload everything there.  Sigh.

In other news, Katie is thinking about moving to Sweden in three years.  She called me up the other day and broached the subject with me by asking how I would like to go to Sweden with her.  Now, I like my wife and I like traveling to Europe, but she is talking about six months to a year and I’m not sure I can do that.  Hopefully, videoconferencing will become REALLY big in two years and I can convince her to just sit in front of Georgia…damn, I’m repairing file permissions and I got a Disk Utility error that the connection was lost to the HD.  This is really not good.  All I was doing was unencrypting a 1GB disk while listening to iTunes with Firefox, OmniWeb, GraphicConverter, and some other junk open at the same time.  Did I mention that when I rebooted after I got the gray screen of death my toolbar was blank?  Very not good.

Katie is gone this weekend, off to Durham, for some kind of feminist declaration of war or something. So, I’m here with some friends, Humphrey Bogart, Joseph Finnes, David Duchovny, Minnie Driver, Ingrid Bergman, and Cary Grant. She calls once in a while, but she really likes being there more than here I think. Her passionate calls about being in a hit-and-run and parking in a two-hour parking lot during a 7-hour conference are much more interesting than my day of sitting around.

If you thought that I would go through all March without a post, you were wrong. If you thought that I wouldn’t go and see the 300 tomorrow, well, you were wrong about that too.
