My life is getting too busy. I am going into internet withdrawal–and my friends are going into “Emily’s not on the internet” withdrawal, esp. Rachel, who sent me a haiku about it. I need Ginny BAX, with her wireless network card! Best Buy is sending a box to send her in for repairs. Hopefully I will have her BAX soon. 
Oh, without further ado:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!!
She turns the big 5-0 today. You’re great.
While shopping for her present last night, I discovered that Bed Bath and Beyond is selling their down comforters for 50% off. So I bought one. I used it last night, and it’s lovely and warm. It was especially hard to get out of bed this morning, which is perhaps a drawback. 
I basically listened to the Pirates soundtrack on repeat from 1 to 4:30 yesterday. I have determined that the soundtrack is great, but they siriusly messed up on the naming of the tracks. For example, track #2 is called “Medallion Calls” when it should be called “Captain Jack Sparrow,” ’cause it’s the music of his entrance. Similarly, track #4, “Will and Elizabeth” is actually the music for the duel, so should be called “Crossing Blades.” Hmph. I’m gonna make up my own titles. I think track #3 will be “The Worst Pirate I’ve Ever Seen.”
The only drawback to this listening marathon is that it makes me want to see it again. 
Got lots of background plotting done on my Dumbledore fic. It’s coming along nicely, methinks.
To everyone who’s posted about me not continuing I Found Love: I may get back to it. Just not yet. And to Wolf: There’s a good reason ch. 3 doesn’t seem as polished as the first two. It isn’t as polished. It didn’t get betaed hardly at all, and therefore didn’t get edited to my satisfaction. But as there was very little chance of getting it betaed with everyone so busy, I decided to post it as-is. So that’s the story.
And the offer still stands: Anyone who wants to know where I was going with the fic, shoot me an e-mail at wahlee @ bit-of-ivory.com (without the spaces) and I’ll send you a summary. As soon as I type one up.
Okay, gotta get to WORX now.

I was repairing Emily’s Ginny machine up until 10 minutes before I checked into the local hospital for surgery. It then had to wait for approximately 8 days before I had recovered sufficiently to do the final testing and disk recovery. So that is why the delay.
While I don’t know how long it will take to have the warranty repair on the motherboard, I have been told the company is quick and it should only be a few days.
In the meantime, I feel that Emily is getting a very good ‘reset’ of her internet priorities and finding there is more to life that sitting in front of the TV typing on Ginny all day. (Only a father could say such a thing, and of course it is quite predictable that a father would say such a thing!)
So everyone just hold on, and we’ll all see Ginny back and sound again very soon.
