Update
I've got nothing new to share on the topic of my stolen computer. We're still waiting to find out if the insurance company will help me get a new one or not. In the meantime, I'm stuck using my tiny computer. It's a good little computer (an Asus EEE pc), but I can't play many games on it, and some web sites don't work.
I did something stupid at work and screwed stuff up and had to re-do about an hour's worth of work, along with making a bunch of work for one of the data managers. Made me feel like a stupid piece of crap, but I think I got it all fixed.
I've been obviously a bit depressed. I'm getting a bit better. I've been looking at maybe going to Napier University next year to get a Master's degree. I'm tired of being the loser of the family. All my old friends have advanced degrees and real careers, and I'm a data entry clerk, earning just above fast food money.
One of the few web sites that mostly works on my tiny computer is YouTube. So I've been there a lot. I mentioned my new obsession with Weezer a few weeks ago, and that led me to this video, which is awesome cause it has both Weezer and the Muppets:

Okay, so that's 100% awesome, with the Weezer and the Muppets and everything. But then I started following links on the side and wandering around in general, and came upon this video:

It is a girl called Julia Nunes, and she's awesome. I almost like her version better than Weezer. Almost. I encourage you to go to her YouTube account and check out some of the other songs. I especially like her version of Mr. Brightside by The Killers. I tried to buy her album, but paypal does not like my tiny computer.
I like Julia Nunes so much I even took my ukulele out and fixed the tuning heads and got it all tuned and playable. Of course, I still can't play the thing. I think my fingers are too fat for a tiny guitar.
