My boyfriend is a GEEEEEEEENIUS!!!!
The frozen hard drive ACTUALLY WORKED! Too well, actually.
So he sealed it in a ziplock back and stuck it in the freezer for about a half hour. Then tried hooking it up to his desktop computer. Nothing. Nada. Zip.
Oh well, we expected it, weren’t holding our breaths, yada yada yada.
So just on a whim, he sticks the drive back into my laptop and tries a boot up.
Worked! Panicky, because we don’t know how long we’ve got, he tries to move my whole profile over the network to the crappy Gateway. Taking too long! The drive could go at any minute! I’ve got 2GB of music on there that is already backed up! So we cancel that and just transfer my documents, sans my music. Done.
Laptop still working.
So he tries to move the whole drive over to his fancy new desktop. Nope. Too many errors.
But…the laptop is still working. For how long, we don’t know. He’s taking it back to CompUSA today. Hopefully he can convince them that my hard drive is a LOOSE CANNON and could go off at any moment, so PLEASE OH PLEASE give me a new one!
But let me sing some more the praises of Kevin, who brought hope when hope had died, the GEEENIUS who saved my data: the pictures, the lab website still in development…um…probably some downloaded free porn…
Hooray for Kevin!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Technically, I’m shaving later, but I did get my hair cut! Finally! I can’t even remember when I got it cut last….October maybe?
I have the luxury of a hairstyle and hair that looks good either short or long. So since I’m pretty lazy, I generally go MONTHS between haircuts. Letting my hair grow loooong, until it bugs the crap out of me so much that I proclaim “that’s IT! I’M CHOPPING IT ALL OFF!”
Kev likes my hair long. Something about having something to grab on to. Also a slight pigtail fetish. MEN!
But I had enough. So now it’s just below my earlobes - long enough to tuck behind my ear, short enough to expose my neck to warm spring breezes, soft kisses, and firm bites.
It’s thundering like HELL here. I should really get off the crappy desktop and shut it off before the power goes out. I should pick up my neglected knitting.
ooo…that was a GOOD one!

The laptop is most likely toast. Kev is trying a few tricks to try to get the data off it…including FREEZING the harddrive! But we’re not holding our breaths.
Our departmental computer guy who used to work at CompUSA seems to think that replacing a hardrive is something that the monkeys in the repair department can handle on their own, without sending it out to Compaq. So hooray! Hopefully, I’ll have my laptop by early next week.
In the meantime, I’ll be blogging from work. We’re headed to Alabamy for the weekend, Kev’s mom’s birthday, so no bloggy bloggy for me… 
In better news, tonight witnessed the triumphant return to normal activities. Can I just mention how much more a guy seems to enjoy a really good blow job after going without for a week? I thought he was going to pass out! Nice moaning and a good amount of twitching. Hooray for positive feedback! I told him I was willing to stop if it was too much for him.
He grabbed me by the hair and pushed me back down. Well, I guess I got my answer. Heehee.

Last night, as my mom played solitaire on my laptop, the screen blinked, and the XP version of the blue screen of death appeared.
After restarting, I got a message saying “media test failed” and “operating system not detected”
Uh oh.
I think I just lost my hard drive. Kev will look at it tonight, and try to see if anything can be recovered off of it…but it looks pretty scary. Fortunately, it’s still under warranty. Unfortunately, it will probably take weeks to fix…dumbass compUSA techs.
So I’m down one laptop.
Got my mom to the airport this morning. Was a little worried as weather reports proclaimed that Atlanta was under a “fog warning.” However, a quick check out the curtains revealed a bright sunny and warm day. Stupid Flip Spiceland.
Dropped her off at the curb, and after a quick hug, she was off. On one hand, I’m glad my life can get back to normal, on the other hand, I’m sad to see her go. Our relationship has changed subtly since Kev and I got serious. It’s a good thing, because I think she sees me more as a grown woman now. But now it seems like there’s a distance between us. Sad. But this week was like old times, shopping and eating and watching movies and eating…and…eating. Yeah…no diets happening this week.
But now she’s gone. And back to the same old same old.
Sigh.
Hehe…but I imagine some fun will be had tonight! Wheeeee!

of fame. Guess which day was the anal post?
Last full day of mom’s visit. Yesterday we went to church, then mom walked around the Virginia Highlands area while I had session meeting. Yawn! Later we got all girly dressed up and headed to the Fabulous Fox Theater for Hairspray. Which was very good! Very peppy, toe-tapping, upbeat music. And the girl who played the lead was very good, and very cute.
Afterwards, Kev met us at the theater (the musical tickets were a christmas gift from mom - one of Kev’s gift was that he didn’t have to go!) and we ate a late dinner at a nearby restaurant, with the WORST WAITRESS EVER! Seriously. What a ditz. My mom wanted hot decaf tea with dessert. The waitress said they had decaf, and brought a box of tea bags over for mom to peruse…not ONE of which was decaf. Then the waitress started to explain that from what she knew of teas, all black teas were caffienated, but the green teas and the “Lemon Lift” were probably decaf.
What?
Mom ended up with an Earl Grey that was definitely caffeinated, but oh well.
I’m at work now, but I’ll be leaving shortly to get my mom. We’re going to walk around downtown Decatur…as long as the rain holds off. Her flight back to Pittsburgh is tomorrow at noon.
So far, a really nice visit. And I was SO WORRIED! Piece of cake! So regularly scheduled blogging should return tomorrow. As well as my sex life, because Kev and I have been TOO EXHAUSTED to do anything but SLEEP at night!
