To escape the stench of human corruption.

redcountess' PowerBook adapter died on Friday afternoon, one month after the laptop's AppleCare ran out, so I had to stop at the Apple Store on the way home for a replacement right away or she would be adopting mine for the duration. FIFTY FIVE GOATFELCHING QUID for the official Apple adapter. Rather than a compatible replacement for twenty off eBay. A wire on the laptop plug went intermittent; if can get the correct replacement (some weird thing shaped like an RCA plug but bigger) I'll be able to put the broken adapter back in service.

I got home from work and collapsed. The job is going pretty well, but I don't know how you people cope with working several days a week for months on end. Today we slept all morning, then tidied up a bit (you can now see the floor in arkady's room, though not the bed) and watched the DVD of American Splendor, which I think we're going to buy. I think tomorrow will involve shopping and more housework.
