Hey, At Least I'm Not Writing McCain/Obama

Max's broken internal fan is all fixed; I got the replacement part yesterday, and today after class I went to the bookstore and bought a screwdriver, and then spent the afternoon taking Max apart and putting him back together. Poor boy's all violated, like, and I've seen his innards as I never have before. I was terrified I was going to screw something up and kill him forever, rendering me laptop-less, which would be catastrophic, but the instructions from the Dell site were remarkably clear and easy to follow once I actually got in there and started fiddling with things. Aside from a minor thing where I forget the first time to plug in the keyboard, it all went off without a hitch. The new fan is working like a dream - no more overheating, hopefully, and no more loud obnoxious grinding noise either. Yay! I am marginally competent!

Politics-wise, I'm still in a post election daze. I was following the election /so/ closely, obsessing over the polls, checking fivethirtyeight a dozen times a day, and now it's all over and I don't quite know what to do with myself. Also, I think what happened hasn't really sunk in yet; I keep being places, sitting in the dining hall, or walking down the street, and it will suddenly hit me - we did it. We won. This Onion article hits it pretty well.
But, in this dearth of election news to obsess over, I have in fact moved on to obsessing over Obama's cabinet. You guys, I think I'm in love with with his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel. This guy is AWESOME. Crazy angry Leftist Jewish senator FTW. He once mailed an enemy a /rotting fish./  And he's impressively hot for a 48-year-old Jewish senator, and good gods I'm a horrible person but now I want Obama/Emmanuel RPS.
It's not /that/ far-fetched.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have the first season of Supernatural to finsh watching on my totally working computer. :D
