The Zen Cabin

The sound of one hand typing… ew, gross!

It’s me, Rip!  Did you miss me?  I missed you.  Kee-rist!!!, what a couple of weeks!  Here’s the skinny:

• Remember how I was pissing and moaning about computer problems?  That was only the start of it.  I had to buy a new computer because the backup computer started acting hinky on me, as well.  So, 3 computers in 8 days.  I still need to pull some stuff off the old hard drives, if I can.  Meanwhile, Happy Shiny Computer time!  Windows Vista?  There’s some fresh Hell for ya!
• As if that weren’t enough, I literally forgot how to log in to the Cabin.  Not that I had much to say, but still… I couldn’t remember the damned url to save my life!  And I wonder why I don’t get any ad solicitations…
• We moved Mother Ripley to Sister #2’s place this weekend.  I don’t think she’ll ever be back in Smalltown, USA, which is pretty sad.  A tough send off, lemme tell ya.
• 10 days later, I still haven’t kicked this cold.  My voice is cashed and I’m starting to wonder if I did some kind of permanent damage to my vocal cords.  (Not that anyone else is complaining.)  I can’t lean over because the pressure in my sinuses makes it feel like my right eyeball’s going to pop out of my head.
• I’m on a Neil Sedaka kick.  Shut up.  Shut the fuck up!
• I’m on the Twitter, as hailripley, if you’re into that kind of thing.  You don’t have to sign up, but you can follow my mind-blowing revelations at https://twitter.com/hailripley .

If you’re reading this, thanks! If you’re not reading this, you’re a terrible, terrible person.

I bookmarked the dashboard page so, Huzzah!, you’ll be able to read more of my inane drivel in the near future.  (Also, I’m pretty sure that my posts are being archived in the Congressional Library.  That’s no excuse to not read this blog, mind you.)  I hope you’re all doing well – thanks for sticking with me, even when I take a break from yelling at the clouds.
