My powerbook has this bad habit of dying. It died again today. It\’s final puff was an attempt to check e-mail.

Ugh, I lost my bookmarks again.

Strangely enough, my windows desktop has lasted more than three years since I last reformatted. But that is entirely questionible since I definitely did not move my desktop around as much as I did with my powerbook.

Right now it\’s in the middle of a reformat (the third time in the last 4 months). Thank god I had the foresight this morning to backup everything on an external hard drive. I am so paranoid like that.

In life, there is nothing that can compare to a reformat. It is a process of loss but almost a process of gain. Like a haircut. Yet things like these are never permanent. You are not used to it at first. But as time passes by, it becomes who you are. It becomes everything that you are. And when it\’s time to restyle, you do it because of the need despite the sweet parting of familarity.

Speaking of which, my hair has been annoying me lately. Whenever I am doing anything \”atheletic\”, my hair despite being pulled back into a ponytail keeps getting into my face. I need a new style.
