Home desktop sent for repairs. After the dearth of the optical drive, everything went down the same route rather quickly...though one might admit that it may not have been a good idea to try fixing it on my own (which may perhaps have actually made things worse -_-|||).

This is being typed at an internet cafe claiming to be "the cheapest" at $1 per hour, under great stress to ikka's sanity (something to that effect, anyhow). The lack of privacy as compared to the safe confines of surfing on one's own is NOT A GOOD THING...for me anyway. It does not help that the monitor faces the entrance and the proprietor is sitting very close on my right and that everyone and anyone could see what I'm doing WTF *starts babbling*

So anyway, due to laptop absence (it's not arriving till end of this month? Why?), chances are that no updates and presence from here will remain until the week after next, or so my estimate goes.

Pants: I so understand how you feel now...
