I Kick Butt WIth Dry Bones and the Bullet Bike

Fear not, gentle readers... and even those with just a passing interest - I am alive. My computer's hard drive, however, is not. It failed almost two weeks ago, unfortunately, as the (I hope) last of a wave of Mac hard drive failures BLS students have been experiencing. My time online has been since drastically cut down, since I'm sharing Jon's computer - something that can be quite difficult when said husband is a computer geek who relinquishes control of his desktop with more reluctance than the sorority girl who lives upstairs would have parting with her self-tanner.*

But tomorrow, I get my laptop back with a brand new hard drive and a big lesson learned - namely, back up your files like a maniac when your computer starts doing weird stuff like making the noise of a car blinker. On the plus side, the down time gave me the opportunity to unlock almost everything on Mario Kart Wii (damn you, Rainbow Road on Mirror level - you thwart me at every turn!).

Yeah... I haven't been doing much. But I'm looking at the calendar and realizing that in exactly a month, I'll be jetting off to London for 5 1/2 weeks of international law courses. Clearly, the second half of summer will generate more posts.

*"It's Fake and Bake and I helped!" Seriously people - we're not meant to be orange.
