gone.
oh yeah. and so is a few hundred dollars from my account for a NEW computer.
it's NICE. it's FAST. it's ... Windows Vista. meh. it's also EMPTY. every 3 seconds i'm reminded that some other "irreplacable" series of zero's and one's have been TAKEN from me!
it's also a colossal pain in my bleached asshole; resetting bookmarks, themes, downloading patches, fixes and updates all to make myself comfortable at my uncomfortable desk again.
so ... christmas has been cancelled, y'all. Ho Ho Ho-lla.
