I have just had the saddest news: Bingley is dying. The other day when we first set up my desk area, we heard a strange noise on startup, but it didn't continue and we didn't know where it was from so we just pressed on and hoped for the best. Today, however, he gave up while plugged in and had to be restarted, which took him at least three goes during which time the sad noises reappeared. I am currently copying out all of my vital information (read: my iTunes library) so that I won't lose any of it when the poor thing goes. He's only two! It's not fair ;_; We are going to see if he's open-up-able so that we can just put a new drive in the same case (he has lovely stickers :D), but it's possible that he'll just have to go. My poor darling! Snatched too soon from this life. ;_;

In happier news, avatar1983, elyndys and I went to see kitties today! The cat shelter across the road had an open day and we went to pet kittens XD Afterward, avatar1983 and I went on to Staples where I bought a ludicrously huge computer chair XD I didn't realize it was so big! D: Still, it's pretty great, and it spins (I can see this being a mixed blessing in some circumstances...) XD
