hey y'all: you know that old cliché "when it rains, it pours?" yeah. well. my rainstorm is a storm of shit. it's a shitstorm. shit keeps on pouring and it don't stop pouring
anyway, my new computer is out of commission for at least a week. It's all of four months old and the harddrive had a massive crash and now needs to be sent back to the manufacturer for repairs! my phone is also out for at least the rest of the afternoon (~4 more hours) and I had to take it to the apple store for its own repairs. I just wanted to have a fuckin week to move into my new place without murphy's law moving in with me, but I guess that was wishful thinking, right?
sooOOOO, what this means in the meantime is that. yeah. I will be hard to get a hold of anywhere. I'm currently typing this on my old laptop (that bluescreens often, it's amazing it hasn't yet crashed with the sheer number of characters I have entered into this text box) and on internet explorer no less, since I know google chrome is one of the programs that's most corrupted on here. Skype is also probably fucked, knowing how much memory it usually needs: I might try discord, but I can't make any promises.
my number one priority this weekend was getting a lit review done. I need to prioritize that, so no matter what, I'll probably be scarce (and I'll also keep praying that my comp can handle bringing up academic articles).
I'm still here. I'm not dead. I'm just fighting off a legit shitstorm.
