Addendum

So my computer works, however tentatively. :D Hugh didn't really do anything to it, but when I turned it on when he was there, it showed not only the logo (which had been the only thing showing up previously), but also offered a keystroke for boot order...and through lots of random needling the system managed to start again... I'm not sure what was wrong or how exactly it was righted, though, so I'm sort of wary that it might not be 100% resolved.

But still. Working computer. Whoo! Hugh is my luck charm I guess.

I'm still batshit tired, though.

Also, puta madre qué frío. It's not even as cold as it has been at times, but compared to the springy teaser we just experienced, fuck it seems cold.
