It has been a while since I wrote here, and with good reason.
Sunday night, my computer froze. I looked at it very oddly because this is a far cry from normal. I was about to reboot it when it suddenly unfroze. A few minutes later, it froze again, and this time I heard the too familiar sound of a hard drive on its last leg. It was the the typical hard drive slowly failing kind of failure where the drive mostly works, but freezes every once in a while. So, I took the computer down and started using the laptop, very happy that the data is backed up.
