[Obit] Back with Spencer at last

( Katharine Hepburn, 1907-2003 )

"I don't want to be worshipped. I want to be loved." -- as Tracy Samantha Lord, "The Philadelphia Story" (1940)

Conservation of Evil

Good News: Cassandra is back in my hands, with a brand-new screen. Cheap bastards wouldn't spring for replacing the chipped-off paintwork, though, but at least the scratches on her cover are gone since they replaced the whole unit there.

Bad News: After I have packed my worldly goods, they tell me they need an exact count of how many books, CDs, DVDs, etc. per box for customs purposes, which means I have to haul my ass down to the warehouse at some point, open the boxes, count the fucking items inside and then reseal them before they can be shipped.

It never ends.

[insert expletive here]

It seems my celebration was a bit premature. Cassandra's screen fritzed out on me again after a few hours use, but not as bad as before. I believe I have uncovered the reason for the problem - overheating. I am now dousing Cassandra with blasts from the fan and will only use her in air-conditioned environments. Hopefully the move to the US will do her some good.
