Aaaaand We're Back!

So we recently got the bright idea to obtain my own domain! Unfortunately the company we're going through is taking their sweet ass time with the customization of the address and I, of course, got impatient with my site being down (BAA?)... So here I am! Again! Nothing too different, but you can now access my blog at daytriiipper.com! And, needless to say, I am prettttty stoked about it.

So some stuff to catch you up on in the short while I was blogless. ...We installed our surround sound! Well, half of it so far. And when I say "we", I mean Matt, of course. My role could be better described as gopher. ...Running under the ladder... Fetching screwdrivers and extension cords and lookin' pretty. And let's not forget cleaning up the lovely film the insulation left behind on just about every surface in my living room. Inluding live animals.
And oh! Joy! I had yet another computer crash this week. This time it was my beloved desk top... The one that got me through college. ...Fortunately, Matt helped me get all my files off before it took its true dive into oblivion. These damn evil-doers are getting smart. The virus posed as a Windows update! "Click me, you need these updates", and wham! All your files are infected. And then! And THEN! It knows EVERY anti-virus software's name out there, so when you go out and spend $50 on the best program you can find, it's rendered entirely useless. Why? Because the virus is smarter than you. That's why. And last, but certainly not least... Because I'm sure there's more that we have yet to happily come upon... The virus has completely erased any and all restore points in our system. So for all those non-tech-speak peeps reading... My basic and unfortunate point is ~ We are screwed. Now we're looking at reformatting the entire hard drive and starting from scratch. I think I'm cursed. If I recall correctly, this is crash #5 for me in the last 3 years. Do not let me near your machine.

Anyway, if my site hits the skids again, at least you'll be clued in as to why.
