so justin & i helped bryan move a uhaul full of stuff into the new place on 207 yesterday, but justin forgot his digital camera so you're all gonna have to wait a little longer for pictures of the place. it's nice. cathy came up (she's crashing with me at 215 this week) and walked through it with a gaping mouth and called it a "castle on a hill." justin was also impressed and already wants to move into a spare room we were planning to make a study. pictures soon, i hope!
in other news, i was woken up monday morning by a very loud thunderclap that set off several car alarms in the neighborhood. i thought "that was odd" but went back to sleep. when i later and tried to check my email over breakfest, the cable modem lights were out, so i figured the cable people were fixing storm damage or something (though my TV worked, an ominous sign).
but last night i looked at the back of my laptop and i noticed the yellow LED light on the ethernet jack was steadily lit, with or without a cable plugged in, turning off only when the machine was unplugged and powered down. it turns back on as soon as you plug it back in or turn it on. thus i'm slowly turning to the conclusion that my network card got fried by a power surge through the ethernet cable. yikes. either that, or the cable modem was fried, though this seems less likely given the funny laptop light behavior...
in more other news i missed president harding is a rock star. at least the american affect will be showing for another month.
in even more news, had anyone heard about the IBM pension case? i sure hadn't...
