So, I've been quiet of late. There are multiple reasons for this, the major one being: My computer kept crashing.
Now, I hear some of you (Cliff) saying, "So what's new about that?", but trust me, this was bad. My computer wouldn't turn on sometimes. It crashed 4 times in 10 minutes one day. It's taken about 6 different experiments to realize that something inside my tower is overheating. So now my computer is running with it's side panel off, and hopefully this will keep things functioning properly.
The other reason for my short absence: I threw out my back.
"How?" Dave asked so expertly.
I was jumping on bubble wrap.
Yes, I know. Bubble wrap is a dangerous substance, known for it's hazards, but I had to risk it. My friends film *needed* my jumping talents, so I did my best. I wear this injury proudly, as a sign of my bravery and prowess at bubble-wrap jumping.
Seriously though, it hurts like a bitch, and sitting in my computer chair takes a lot of effort, even now, when I'm half recovered. The doctors at the Student Death Center (Health Center my ass, usually they barely know what they're doing) realized there might be an actual problem, and gave me drugs this time around. Actually, I'm being harsh, the lady I saw Thursday was quite nice, and did a lot more than the first lady did. The medicine she perscribed was quite lovely. It's a muscle relaxant, and it has the wonderful ability of turning me into a squishy puddle of goo. Suffice to say, I won't take it and drive. That'd be hazardous to my (and other driver's) health...
But that's it for me. So I leave you with something that Cliff told me:
Remember, read the Surgeon General's warning on bubble wrap before you go about popping it.
And knowing is half the battle. ^^
