My computer’s been sluggish.
Everything has been slow. Firefox, email, iTunes, everything. Plus, out of nowhere, it overheats two or three times a week.
I assumed it was just old, and had gotten filled up with a bunch of crap, as computers will. Little did I know the crap it was getting filled up with had come off my cats.
This afternoon, when it overheated for the second time in a day, I took the lid off, much as I would with the hood of my car, pretending I would be able to find something wrong. Well, the CPU was entirely covered in a snuggly blanket of cat hair and dust (pictured above).
Now it’s running fine.
They Might Be Giants at Walter Reed
From the liner notes for the 1997 They Might Be Giants album Then: The Earlier Years:
“The germ for Weep Day was the hyphenated reference to a song on the back of a Bob Dylan record jacket which read “Mr. Tambo-urine Man.” Flansburgh drew disturbing likenesses of both Mr. Tambo and Urine Man and Linnell dreamed up their antithetical relationship and set it to music.”
Another example of TMBG’s keen insight into national affairs. Here we are, years later, and we have our own real-life Urine Man, Army Surgeon General Kevin C. Kiley MD.
