The Wonderful World of Computers

It's been a while since I've posted on here, so hopefully there are still a few of you out there that haven't given up on me as kidnapped. I wish I could say that there was a super cool reason that I haven't written on this blog in so long (i.e. I did a secret tour as an undercover agent in Her Majesty's Secret Service, or there wasn't any internet access at the remote location used in my photo shoot for the underwear ads), but there isn't. The fact of the matter is that our computer has been so crammed full of viruses that it was virtually unusable - kind of the electronic equivalent of a plugged up toilet.

(Oh, I should probably also clarify: when I say "Our" computer, what I really mean is "My roommate Laura's" computer, which she is so gracious enough to let us use all the time. All we provide to her in return is an equal split of the internet bill, dinner three times a week, a car wash every other Saturday, and rose petals everywhere she walks. Oh, and we must also address her as "Her Royal Internet Highness," or "Electro-pharaoh." Of course I'm just joking, anyone that's ever met Laura knows that she is perhaps one of the most self-less people in the world.)

I never realized just how important computers are in our day-to-day lives until all of a sudden you don't have one anymore. When you think about it, pretty much everything we do nowadays is dependent on a computer. I could go on and on about my take on all of this (and I will, just not today...) but I'll instead opt to just let everyone know that I'm back! That's right, I can now check my email, visit your websites, and furiously download internet porn just like I could a few months back!

Life is good yet once again, so keep the rock rocking, and the roll rolling.
