Compy

I got my computer back! *cries a little in happiness* Even better, all of the crucial files are intact. *breathes a deep sigh of relief* Now I will have to go home and back everything up on my new external hard drive.

The computer guy definitely cleaned out my keyboard--the keys feel different while I'm typing. Or else that could be due to the fact that I've been getting used to giant desktop keyboards.

Oh, in other news, I bought a road bike yesterday. A brand-new one. It was an odd experience, because one of the bike mechanics at the shop where I bought the bike used to work at the bike shop near my house (the bikes for sale at the shop near my house weren't such a bargain). He asked why I was buying a new bike, considering that the Jolly Roger is still in pretty good shape. He didn't seem entirely convinced by my arguments.

My new bike is FAST. It was clearly designed with a single purpose in mind: speed. Riding it feels kind of like floating along. It borders on being too fast for me. It will be fun to take it up hills and see how much faster I can go. I will never, ever buy a brand new bike after this one, though. It was a pretty good decision, but it was a lot of money to spend all at once.

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad your files are intact. What a horrible feeling to think it might all be gone. Yea Computer guy!

Congratulations, I'm so happy for you! Such a relief to get your files back.

And congrats on the road bike! It sounds pretty sweet. I understand your decision not to get another new one any time soon, but have you ever seen such a marvel as that bike available used?

So what model of bike is it? What's it made out of? How many gears?
