This is my home, hello! Here's where I sit
You gave the landlord your fun, chirpy greet
You came by, you moved in and you were sweet
Saw your cute artwork, I thought it was neat
Living with you, I never had a doubt
You would do me favors without a pout
Had we a conflict, we could work it out
With you I just never needed to shout
Leaving on a plane I packed you along
We would spend days basking in rays of sun
You're perfect company to sing a song
But you shifted out and looked for fresh fun
I could care less if we make housemates foam
So dear baby, let's make this house a home

Man, I haven't written sonnets in a long time! Well, only when the inspiration comes.

I was cruising down the road
and this racecar driver zoomed by
Into the horizon they rode
So I said, "Imma gonna get myself some racing stripes!"

I watched some DVDs from last year
And it got me thinking loudly
Was there something wrong, dear?
With the person who lent them to me

Congratulations, hey!
Just when I expected this cabbage to grow grey
It was green just like everyone else's
Hydroponic but sprayed with peppers

You are bland, you are damned
You are packaged, you are in demand
You still taste like your flavoring
You only taste like your flavoring

Grow and blossom, you say you did
But you're still tasteless, you came from the same seed
You'd be better chewed up, you aid shit
Better laying as soil on a back street

Master of the slave
Was the name he gave
You're magnetic and full of potential
But you've spun dizzily into your grave

Soon, all our memories became heavy metal.

A dozen a dime
A dozen years time
It doesn't seem right
It doesn't see the light

Soon, all our memories became heavy metal.

It wasn't enough that I tried to get you back
You played dead and I needed a hack
So I searched around for the cure but you were still black
And now everything is blank, what a wreck!

Soon, all our memories became heavy metal.

Hmmm. I can't write poems like I did back in college.


Look ma, no jumpers! (Yes, these pictures are so very much related.)


So old-school, the jumpers are on the underside of the hard disk!

Anyway, in summary, I plugged this 127MB Quantum ProDrive ELS into my left-side computer and couldn't get it to detect. I plugged in the other three hard disks, (a Quantum Corona 4.3GB, Quantum Fireball 5.1GB, Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40GB) with it detecting one of them only once. Moved jumpers about, and from then on, the display did not show, and the speaker did not beep. Moved RAM position. I dug up my Radeon DVI adapter to try the other display to no avail. I even dug up my 3dfx Voodoo3 PCI!

I haven't been this frustrated, and yet I am feeling strangely fine.

I pulled her in and twirled her out
Her sleek legs danced imaginary rainbows
Gracing the floor as if to sing
Pirouette! Pirouette! Will you do the tango?

Thus was the dance with a one-handled kids' shopping cart at IKEA

Enough personification, Carte and me spun about
In the rejects department we danced close
To the gentle beat of the Michael Buble swing
When the lady of my life said, "let's go!"

Thus ended my trance with a one-handled kids' shopping cart. Please Mama!
