Today I bought a DVD burner. (I bought my Mac about a month before the DVD-burning SuperDrive was introduced, and this really rankled.) Of course, this third-party consumer burner isn't supported by Apple software, but all it took was editing a couple of characters in a device file, and boom, instant workage! The hardest thing was getting the old drive out of its enclosure -- the power cable was stuck in its socket. I eventually had to use a door key to lever it out. Again: I used a fucking door key to unlock a blockage in my computer. How cool is that?
Are you the Gatekeeper? I am the Keymaster. Okay, okay, I'm going to bed now.

Before I fall asleep: tomorrow I am going to buy some GUITAR STRINGS. This, of course, has NOTHING to do with any nonsense about a Christina Aguilera hardcore cover band. Not at all. (I'm just stringing you along, Shane. Or am I?)
This must happen.
And Fly and I will organise the UK leg of your blockbusting tour…
