COMPUTERS AND MEN

Computers and men.  Right now I hate them both with a burning passion.  Right now, for the life of me, I can't figure either one out.  Right now I wish they had manuals that explained, in simple English, their inner workings and what buttons should and should not be pushed because I am clearly hitting the wrong ones...over and over again...with the same results.  Wait...what?  Anyway, right now I can't get either one to respond to me.  Right now they are both making me feel very helpless and sort of really stupid.  Right now I just want to yell at them with choppy sentences laced with expletives.  And right now I really need both of them in my life.  But right now they are both making me cry like a nine year old and feel super pathetic.  So, right now I am going to go to bed.  Alone.  Maybe tomorrow will be better than right now.

Stepping into the Here and Now

I am so excited!  I bought a laptop today.  I am very much looking forward to receiving it so I can clear out this old, but trusty, desk top computer and the desk it sits upon from my cramped little matchbox of an apartment.  Space is definitely at a premium here.  Yes!!  I will be able to do so much more away from home now, too.  No one really understands because most people seem to be quite far ahead of me, technologically speaking.  Well, that's because they are.  I guess I can try to catch up - but all I really want to do is write and manage/organize the photos I love to take.  I guess I can check emails and Facebook also - but I really am trying to not spend as much time on FB.  No, really.  I do like playing 'Words with Friends' though.  I've always liked Scrabble, and I guess that's because I like words.  Makes sense, huh?   Well, I'm super excited.  And now my nosy neighbors won't know whether or not I'm on the computer when they walk by my window unable to control their urge to look into this space of divine creativity.  Silly people.  

Oh, and there was an earthquake today.  3.9 centered near San Juan Capistrano.  Just a hard jolt - not a roller.  Thought I'd let you know.
