pretty new internet box

i'm writing this from my sleek new black macbook, which is just gorgeous but a little weird because i haven't really gotten used to the new keyboard and the mac-type-no-right-clicky thing. the ol' gateway laptop broke yesterday and is now giving me alarming error messages and flashing DOS prompts instead of blogs and porn and more internets. being impulsive and a little stupid, i decided i couldn't modify my hi-tech typetype lifestyle for more than 12 hours so i ran to the nearest apple computer store and bought this thing i've been thinking about for a while. i'm happy as a web-clam, but here's the problem; i may have lost everything on the ex-'puter. i actually don't care about a lot of it; in fact, there's a lot of shit that is probably better off being involuntarily deleted. however, i sure would like to keep the roughly 7 fucking days worth of music i had on there, not to mention my entire creative writing portfolio that's been more or less in development since i was 19, and also not to mention all 3 of my zines. god dammit. i don't have a whole lot of hope for recovering things from the old machine on account of it was making grinding sounds when i tried to turn it on today. grinding. yeah. the opposite of good computer sounds. but we'll see.

here, you (3?) readers, is where i need yr help. my itunes is empty, and needs yr generosity-juice to fill 'er up. if you find yrself bored over the holidays, maybe throw some of yr favorite albums on an mp3 cd and send them my way. if you need an address, i'd be happy to disclose the house to which you can mail such a delightful xmas gift. or whatever. i just need music. and if you can pull my portfolio out of the ether, i'll take that too.

also, i'm going to try and be better about updating this thing. i think i need to be writing more. look for progress updates on shotgunwedding #4, which i'm planning to start puttering at circa christmastime.
