It has been a very long week, and today in particular has been a very long day, with several ups and downs; the lowest of the downs has undoubtedly been finding out at the Fifth Avenue Apple Store GeniusBar that the flashing icon when my Mac refused to start up properly meant catastrophic hard drive failure. I lost everything. Years of photos, fics, wallpapers, icons, etcetera. I really should have seen this coming - I was convinced that my 15" Powerbook was a year and a half old, not three years as it actually is. I do, however, have essential paperwork backed up on a separate hard drive, but imagining trying to recover three years' worth of bookmarks is just... beyond words. And my photos - records of my college years! Gone!

The best up, of course, was getting a new black MacBook. *pets it* It made more sense financially to get this now and give G.Love (the old Powerbook) up for lost, even taking into account paying for Leopard when it does come out, though I'm going to try and finagle my way out of that one. Also, I am still covered by my educational discount through Rockefeller, so I got a free 4G iPod Nano with it with the mail-in rebate. I staggered home at 11.30pm with it and all my peripherals and I've spent the last two hours frantically downloading programs and plugins. Firefox, Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Camino, Firefox extensions, Java, VLC, MPlayer, Flip4Mac, DivX, MacJanitor...

Now came the problem of what to name it. As it's all black, I am torn between the names Zangetsu (Bleach) and Wolfwood (Trigun) (Akabane is not an option, no). Or just Hei, from Darker than Black. On the other hand, I could go for the dorky loves and call it Rukia, (Sode no) Shirayuki or Sanji. Or hell, Kaien, for that matter, but down that path angels fear to tread.
