How is it already Thursday night?!

I feel like I turned around and all of a sudden, the week is just gone!
It was supposed to be my time to make progress and headway with my own work since classes start up again on Monday. Did that happen? One guess.

But the upside is that I have a shiny new computer to play with since my beloved ibook passed away earlier in the week. Well, it didn't actually die--nothing so traumatic, but the display finally decided that it would no longer light up when all the way open. Alas, I had hope that she (yes, my computer was female) would see me through the dissertation, but it's on to better if not bigger things (both the ibook and my flashy new powerbook are the miniature size) . . . The moral of the story though, is to be sure and buy the extended warranty if you are considering a laptop.

On another, unrelated note, I just wanted to acknowledge that yesterday was the birthday of the late Mic Christopher, an Irish sing-songwriter, who left us too soon, and whose album, "Skylarkin" is where I got the name for my blog.

Wherever you are, Mic, I hope you're having the craic!
