theholyinnocentLaptop, long have I loved thee--even when you stopped recognizing my iPod and my flash drive, even when you started taking nearly 10 minutes to boot up every time, even when the tines of your awkward power cord broke off in the power strip. Digging those out wasn't fun; you know I was a liberal arts major and had to think twice about turning off the power. No matter! I wasn't electrocuted!
I know I angered you with my MacBook dalliance. Can we blame my partner for bringing that sleek whore into our home? Yes, yes we can. I was powerless to resist Mac's charm.
But laptop, when you eat a word document that I am working on and spew out a "recovered" file that is nothing more than gibberish, then, my dear friend, I fear it may be time for us to consider a parting of the ways.
In other news, why can't the Republicans just let us enjoy our post-election buzz? Now I have to worry about the NEXT election.
And in other other news, we have a review of a book about the wives of Rodin, Cezanne, and Monet. I admire that the book seems to present a fuller picture of these women...but I'm still thinking it's more fun to be the artist than the wife. Someday, will there be an entire book devoted to model-husbands?
