(no subject)

Just what I needed this week: my iBook is on the fritz, and I'm afraid it's already crashed entirely. Documents were recently backed up; music and photos were not. Frell.

Dear Santa: Please save my computer, or least help me find an inexpensive way to do so. For my peace of mind in daily life, I need my computer to be operational almost as badly as I need to find a job. (The two are not unconnected, obviously.) I've been pretty good this year, I think, and far too much of my life is packed into that little Mac for it to be gone.
Thank you for your time and consideration -- apologies for the lateness of this request.
Love, Emily

What else? That's pretty much the news. The drive out here wasn't too, too bad, and because we were running late, I got to spend the night at my grandparents' house in Cincinnati. Grandma taught me how to knit, and it's totally my new favorite hobby -- which nicely enhances my old-lady lifestyle. Last night I started knitting at the end of Ocean's 11, and went all the way through My Best Friend's Wedding. Tonight, I'm waiting for Swing Time to come on Turner Classic Movies, and for the Yuletide archive to go live.

Happy holidays, all!
