So great news: New Laptop!...is going to be bougth eventually and hopefully soon.
My laptop died you see, and it is only tonight that I have managed to connect my interim computer to the internet. It's an old laptop which, quite frankly, I'm suprised is still kicking.

My life has been a hail of horrible-ness lately in almost all respects. Currently the good points are that I'm still in one, gently-used, piece and that some excitement is coming in the form of a spoken word festival in Calgary (side note: this is the part where the audience is expected to clap; this means you) and Swyc has been invited to perform. Swyc is the Spoken Word Youth Choir of which I am a part. The thoroughly creative acronym was a product of us being unable to settle upon a name, and so when one was needed our director just chose a generic one....that'll teach us for trying to think up something clever.

I was intending to do a video blog this week but my lappy died and so did said plan. I've been planning on buying a new laptop for a while now and this is speeding that plan along, but in the meantime I'll have to find a webcam to comandeer. Worst case scenario, I'm sure Sifu Brinker will let me use Silent River's.

I'd like to say that everything is going peachy, but that'd be a lie. Hopefully it's better next week.
