Well I've gotten my computer back, but they had to do a "clean install" of the operating system, meaning that I essentially have a brand new computer, with none of my old data cluttering it up. I have come to embrace this fresh start, since there's fuckall I can do about it. Fortunately iTunes and Amazon saved all my music on their clouds for me, but no one (not even me) thought to back up my photos. If it's not on LJ or Facebook it exists only in our memories. It's like my own little ElectroMagnetic Pulse!

I've made friends with three primates named Kiki in my time at the zoo. One has left me, moved back to Texas. Another remains my best human friend at work. The last--this Kiki--shares only glimmers of recognition with me, sometimes curiosity about my activities, sometimes what appears to be real interest. That's pretty good for a non-human friend.
