Since the semester ended almost two weeks ago, I’ve been busy trying to get my summer life on track: reading, cleaning, purging, socializing, etc., etc. And most importantly, I’ve been setting up my new sexy beast of a computer. It’s fast, sleek, and oh-so-smart. Plus it looks good in black and gray. (As does this aging blogger who remembers the ’80s with fondness.) Bear with me for the next several days as I spend way too much time transferring files and settings from my old desktop and installing software. If all goes well, this will be the sweet babycakes on which I write my dissertation … as well as my next album and book. (Unless I fill the 250 GB of memory with porn first! Meow!)
