sads...

So my computer suddenly decided that my operating system was corrupt and stopped working this past Thursday night. I took it to a (different, more critically-acclaimed) computer repair place here in town after Dell customer support had me on the phone for two hours just to tell me what I already knew. I should hear back in the next day or two, and hopefully they won't have to wipe my hard drive, because that would include all of the high-res original artwork I've made recently...
