It's... um... ugh.

All of the boxes in my room have hurled up their contains on the floor.

That's not a very nice mental picture, but my floor looks like that scene from This Island Earth when Cal and Joe have all the parts of the interociter sprawed on the bedroom floor. Only it's not interociter parts, but my own personal crap. Yay.

I give myself about a week to figure this all out. I didn't bring much with me to college, but after living up north for 8 months, you gain a fair amount of crap. And the worse part is that some of it is STILL up north - I put my winter coat and toaster oven and kitchen junk in storage for the summer. This is mostly my personal crap/computer/toys I'm sorting.

And speaking of computers, my keyboard finally died. It held on for a year and 3 months, but it just stopped working right. It had a problem where in the keyboard thought that the shift or control or command keys were stuck when they weren't. Usually the problem could be fixed by restarting the computer... but this time it wouldn't go away. I managed to swip mom's old one, so I'm back in business. It's annoying to look for old Mac keyboards on the market.

And I'm getting my new computer toy tomorrow. I've bought a few things for the new school year, like a Wacom tablet, but I'm excited about this one. I'm getting a USB watch, which I think is the coolest thing ever. I lost my normal watch around the time dad died and I need a USB storage unit, so it's a two-for-one. Hopefully the blasted thing will be in stock tomorrow like the store clerk said it would be.

I may name it, as I name most of my computer parts. Jesse told me it was odd that I've never named any of my computer toys "Nancy", although it's the name of my most favorite computer character ever (Me = hopeless computer fangirl). I dunno... I may name it Sal instead, for HAL's twin/sister or something like that.

Those things are pretty nifty. And since it's straped to your wrist, you have a harder time losing it than if it wasn't straped to your wrist.

Just don't let it get struck by gamma radiation or it might try to strangle you in your sleep.

Hmmm... that doesn't sound like that bad of an idea. Self aware USB watch! You need to be a bit more trusting of AIs, 'Hacker (Do you mind me calling you that? For some reason I read your name that way).

'Hacker is fine. I'm just kinda thrilled that I've been able to keep the same handle, or deverations of it, for a few monthes, since my track record has been terrible. I think it's been six handles or more in the last five years.
