I got to perform a resurection spell tonight. That was fun. No, not in the book. Sarah brought me a computer from 1992 and wanted me to make it live again so she could sell it at a charity garage sale. It's resting comfortably right now. It's a Macintosh laptop with a black and white screen. I couldn't make it work with the battery, but it's ok if you plug it into the wall.

The screen is still kind of trippy (fading in and out, wooo...) but I can't really tell if that's the computer's fault or the ancient wiring in my house, which is prone to surges and brown-outs. I'm letting it sit plugged in overnight with the battery installed, to see if it just needs to be recharged. The exciting opperations performed on it tonight include getting its trackball cleaned. Don't you wish you were me?

In the novel department -- my frist-draft reader suggested that I expand on three pages to make it a full chapter. It's now eleven pages. The theme from two paragraphs turned into four pages. I'm guessing it will get some nip-n-tuck. But hey, when I expand, I really expand.
