The brain, again

It's been almost a week that my laptop broke. All of a sudden, it just wouldn't start. And I am so dependent on the internet to find everything, that I had the yellow pages right in front of me and, still, I took some time to figure out how I would deal with this. Duh! I found the shop that accepts my Apple care warranty and they fixed it. They could not pinpoint exactly which component broke, so they changed the whole mother board of the computer.

For those not familiar to the term, the mother board is pretty much where the brain of the computer is, among with other stuff. And just like that (ordering a new mother board and installing it), my computer has a totally new brain. I didn't lose any data, it's all here. If only I could find some crazy research doctor that could do the same with my love...*sigh*... grow a new brain on him and still keep his "data". Brain, brain, brain...why does it have to be so mysterious? Why does it have to be THE thing on us? Why does it have to make such a big mess when it's touched?

Anyway, I'm glad to have my connection to the world back. With the laptop, I can talk to all my family and friends from all over the world with them paying a local telephone call, or I can use Skype to see them. And this is priceless, given that I'm a strange world here. Lots of love from my husband's family and the very few people I met here, but never the same as the love that comes from home.
