real life interrupts

So I was planning to post an update today, but real life intervened and metaphorically kicked me in the face. Yesterday my laptop totally died, like it won't even boot up. I took it to the Apple Store, and the guy at the Genius Bar said it has a hardware problem. Hopefully this will get resolved soon, and since he doesn't think there's anything wrong with the hard drive, hopefully (but not definitely) all of my files will still be in tact. I should get my computer back in a few days, so we'll see.
