Okay, bad news first.
My other girlfriend, Jodie the iBook, is in a coma. She started flipping out in bed last night around 11 pm, and then when I tried to reboot her, she just wouldn't turn back on. It was so sad. She made the exciting mac-powering-on sound, but her screen just wouldn't light up. Chris at Apple Care was really nice to me (kids, listen up; always pay for the extended warranty) and directed me to a licensed repair shop in Paris. Apparently the poor thing's logic board "went up." No idea what that means, but I know it's serious. I haven't brought her in yet. This morning I had to spend some time cleaning her up to get her ready for her big operation. I even carefully popped off each of her little demi-transparent keys to clean underneath the keyboard. Who knew so many of my eyelashes were trapped in there? Please, everyone, send Jodie some good vibes this week. Let's hope she pulls through.
And now the good news: I got into library school this weekend. I think I am going to be a librarian, whatever that means!
Congratulations on library school!

Jodie and I have always had a complicated relationship. I can tell that she is jealous as she acts all passive aggressive around me and will chronically freeze or get really slow when I look at her. In reaction to this, I use every occasion I have to make fun of her missing shift key and her generally grungy / grimy look. That said, just to show her that I am an adult and that there are no hard feelings between us (and most importantly because I hate sharing my own computer and I fear that the Pie will demand this as long as Jodie is kaput!), I send her lots of "get well soon" vibes.

i thought librarians would be irrelevant with the rise of the internets and all.

My prayer project has not begun yet, but I do take prayer requests and I will say one for Jodie.
