I'm on a roll. A concerned realization that my house was not, in fact, growing warmer after turning up the thermostat led to the discovery of a nonworking blower fan in my furnace (always a fun discovery when it's 28 degrees out), and to add insult to injury my monitor chose to die completely while I was sitting in front of it talking to Lisa on the phone about what furnace repair guy they use. A belated apology to Cris, who probably wonders why I blinked out in the middle of a conversation; in truth, I could hear his messages beeping and my iTunes playing, but it's like being blind. The fact that I'm posting this at all should tip one off to the fact that I've switched out the old monitor for the new one, although "new" in this case is used rather loosely (let's just say it will get me by until next March).

If you have any machinery or other important devices with moving parts, it's probably a bad time to invite me over.
