The back-light on my laptop went kaput. It’s been on the fritz for quite awhile but today it finally went out for good. I have a monitor hooked up to it so I am able to get my email and back up the computer before I take it to the Toshiba Certified Repair Center. My plan is to drop it off so they can diagnose the issue and order the bulb. I will take it home while the part is shipped and next week I will give my little HAL to them for repair. It shouldn’t take more than an hour to fix so hopefully I will get it back within a week.

This afternoon there is a Career Fair at the local hotel. I am all dressed for it. I can’t imagine there is anything there for me but I think it’s good to get out of the house and maybe I will meet people.

Tonight is DeLorenzo Pizza night. I feel rather ambivalent. Usually I am charged up for it. The last time I was there, the morning after I awoke with terrible vertigo. I know it’s not related.

Last night I watched Ingmar Bergman’s Hour of the Wolf. I have been wanting to see this movie for years and years. On vacation over a decade ago, I saw a movie poster for it hanging on the wall of a store or restaurant. The poster haunted me. I knew I had to see this movie but I just never did. Last night, I put the DVD into my player and WOW! It was incredible. It’s about the wife of an artist. They live together on a deserted island. The artist is coming unhinged and he starts to hallucinate. His wife also begins to see his visions and tries to protect him but… I won’t write anymore. You will have to see it yourself.
