Strange days, dear reader. Poking about on this laptop has revealed that apparently--wait. Before I go into that--why does every web browser in existence wish to be made the default browser? What exactly is the advantage in this default status? Can't you all just get along? Mainly, can't you all just shut the fuck up about it? Man alive. None of you are the default browser. All of you are on the same shitlist.

Anyway, my work and all my files were still in this laptop. Even my old bookmarks in the web browsers--even the fuckin tabs I had open in 2018 and 2019 were still available to me. All I had to do was give microsoft some information I had long declined to give them, and hey presto. I have my old laptop back again, along with old work I believed to be destroyed. This machine used to crash every other time I booted up and wipe away everything. Battery problems, screen issues, everything you could imagine, and no way to fix any of it. Time and time again, the browsers would act as though I had never set them up, and the file directory would be empty no matter what I'd tried to save. Somehow all of it came back. Mind you, this computer I am typing on had been turned off for two whole years. I am so small in the face of this banal mystery, which I have decided to conclude hinges on my basic incompetence.

Hope I can get my new work off the macbook and onto this thing, which is now running seemingly without flaw, hitch, or snag. Then, from this thing onto the PC which I will finally personally build after years of knowing that I should and mentioning it multiple times to this blog, to my friends and family, to God in his Firmament and yet not getting around to it. None of my problems will be solved, I expect, but at least I'll be able to learn more from my experiences. Maybe.

Sleep has been extra fucked. Didn't go to bed till a quarter to four in the morning, like some kind of wretched teenager. Today is Friday, so I think tomorrow is a good day to start Album Week 2022, but for today, think I'm gonna call it. Blinding headache. Chores to do. Just wanna lay back, finish this great book I been reading on the history of jadeite, and consume superhero media. 

Have a day of such orgasmic spasms that the very root of your being quakes like a leaf in the rain.
