Introducing Pan

Okay, first up is my first secret:

R.I.P. Lancelot the Laptop. Alas, I hardly knew ye, and already we must part.

The king is dead, long live the king.

I have a new computer. Awww, isn’t he pretty? He’s a lovely, souped-up G4 iBook running OSX Tiger. You know, the one with all of those marvelous, clever little widgets. Now all I have to do is figure out how to save some of my files that I didn’t get backed up in time from Lancelot the Laptop.

His name is Pantalaimon*, which I decided upon after realizing how utterly bereft I am without my laptop. Really, I feel as if a part of me is missing when I don’t have my computer.

So, that’s the “little” secret. I’m still waiting on permission for the big secret, the one I’m saving for the newsletter folks. Keep your pants on.

Me, I’ll just be keeping my Pantalaimon.

*Points to those who know what I’m talking about. And for those who don’t. Get thee to Philip Pullman, stat.
