I broke my mac. Twice in the last couple of weeks, I’ve dropped it. Now it won’t stay closed. Which means, I can’t put it to sleep by closing the lid. It pops back up again. Pop.

Sigh. It’s very sad. It still works tho, there is nothing wrong with it’s insides. Only it’s outsides. It’s dented and beat up plenty. I’m hard on things, and I take it everywhere. I’m going to save up for a new mac, a mactel, most likely another laptop, but it’s going to be a while before I can afford it. Christmas is coming up and I have to think about presents for other people first. Sigh.

Whatever you do, don’t put something fragile in my hands.

Nanowrimo is coming up. I’m worried, I admit. I’m distracted by many things this year, but I do have an idea, which is good. Although I still have not nailed down my murder. I think it might be poison.

Anyway, I make playlists when I write, sets the mood and such. I’m looking for song suggestions. My story is a mystery, with a an old school private dick named Arthur Black, and his very prim and proper personal assistant Miss Oomura. I need songs that are bit noir and dark. Anything that harkens to the 40’s is good, although it’s set in current day. Humor is also acceptable, because very there will be humor, of course.

So send me any suggestions and maybe when I am down, I’ll post the playlist.
