Laptop's back!

My laptop came back from Apple as good as new and I'm off my blogbreak. I had actually intended to exercise my meager online publisher status with a scathing review of Apple's hardware support, due to the fact that it took A MONTH for them to replace the ($1400!?) screen on my PowerBook... but I suppose that since they replaced the entire slightly-dinged up exterior without charging me (err.. my employer) extra I really don't have too much to complain about.

I've decided to do a few things differently around here since I've been gone. As a part of a larger goal to "fake it until you make it" to improve my standing and life in general, I intend to up my blog entries to at least one a day, from the rough weekday schedule I've been on. I'll also redesign this bastard so I can stand looking at it. And I want to do more photoshops, more paintings, more drawings, more writing.. just... more. I want to be funnier, sexier, cooler, more artistic. Also I think that I'll reserve some weekend day for found pictures on the internet. I've been collecting these for years, I probably have gigs and gigs of them, so I mind as well share, copyright owners and collectors be damned... because I don't have the slightest record of where they came from.

That said, here's a cool site of pictures of the surface of the sun, which is a little like how I've been feeling lately:

Oh, warm shout out to my friend Nicole, who's leaving for New York soon and will be very much missed.
