Yesterday's quake was so tiny, I have nothing to say about it.

everyone's doing it
To make this look more like a typical blog for a bit....
On an unrelated note, I went snowmobiling/snowmachining for the first time a few days ago. It was good fun, aside from my not feeling very well. I have a few pictures from that, but they will have to wait 'til my new laptop arrives. It was supposed to have arrived by now, but it has not. With luck, it will be here soon, and I can share what pictures I've taken with you all.
Thank you to anyone who does the strengths/weaknesses thing.

cagey tigers
Hello again. I am very pleased to announce that I have purchased a new laptop. Despite that I still hold hope for my poor, deceased one, the purchasing of a new one was a must. I haven't received it yet, but should have it within a week or so. I'm not sure how much this will affect my updating here, though, as I haven't been doing a whole lot that's exciting as of late. It's cold out there, after all. I will have a few new pictures for you once my laptop has arrived.
It is also time for an update of the earthquake tally:
Sendai: 4
Anchorage: 4
Total: 8
The most recent one (about ten minutes ago) was a mere 3.1, and lasted only a couple seconds.

don't mean maybe
Hello, everyone. Let me offer my most sincere apologies for my recent absence. Following my last post, I went snowboarding, took a few finals, and spent the holiday season back in Jersey, among my own kind. The day after I returned to Anchorage, my laptop died on me. I'm pretty certain it has something to do with the graphics card or graphics card driver. At any rate, I am offline for an undetermined period of time. It was probably my fault, anyway, as I don't believe my crappy graphics card was able to handle the awesomeness that is WoW (World of Warcraft, of course). Was two weeks of WoW worth killing my beloved laptop? Probably not. But I still love the game, and intend to continue playing as soon as possible. Though, of course, I no longer stand any chance at all of catching up with my friends' characters. But so goes life.
The loss of my laptop was followed immediately by overwhelming senses of terror and isolation. I'm in Alaska, this uncivilized land, with no connection to the outside world! What...if I turn into one of them? What if I'm gored by a moose? How would anyone know?
But fear not--I'm sure all will right itself in time.
I will try to keep you all informed of any excitement that occurs, if any. Also, should any of you have advice on what to do about my poor laptop, it would be greatly appreciated.
