Site maintenance under way

Published by Helen | Filed under About This Blog, Fail!

In the middle of ungreening this theme’s stylesheet to my preferred pastel-and-earth-tone palette, my macbook’s magsafe cord bit the dust. It kinda looked askew this morning and I had noticed it had gotten a short–typical of me; the cord I use to download my pictures from my now-five-year-old digital camera has the same problem. I’m slowly learning to pay better attention to whether I’m holding securely the connection part of the connection rather than pulling from the wire, but still, I thought I could buy more time with electrical tape, once I could motivate myself to get out of the house and up to Lowes to buy some. But just a few hours later, the crack was apparent, and no amount of jiggling or pinching seemed to restore the connection. So it’s over, macbook magsafe thingie. You’re being replaced just as soon as I can figure out where the closest apple store is, because for some god-knows-why reason, Fair Lakes is not a place you deigned to grace. The last time I was in an apple store, actually, was in Ardmore, Pa.

So anyhow, if you’ve stopped by tonight to read my latest on Podcamp DC, think of it this way: I never made it out of my workout sweats today, and neither did my blog template. While I could try to continue editing here on the pc, I know it would be frustrating as all get out, and besides, I do need to actually tend the house I own.

And a quick note on catching up with the A-list: I’m trying out utterz, but really appalled with how I sound. I think I’ll start talking in my southern accent just because at least then I can blame it on that.
