Oct. 15th, 2007 08:56 amSo I got my Mac patched up for now. I'm gonna back up and start saving everything to the network from now on, cuz I know the drive's gonna die soon. All that's fine, but then my laptop hard drive went belly-up this morning, so I'm gonna have to send that in. Funny how this stuff always seems to happen in bunches. Sucks because I have some work stuff on there that I have backups of but I can't work on anywhere else cuz I don't have the software anywhere else. Damn that.
Anyway. The crud I had in my head last week seems to have moved south and taken up residence in my chest. Which is fine. I'd rather be coughing than wanting to gouge my sinuses out with a fork.
Went to Mississippi this weekend and saw my grandmother and my uncle's family, who were up from south Georgia. We lounged around, watched football, and ate fried chicken like good suthuhnahs. Good times.
I did get some really bad news, though. My old friend Lonzie Nichols, the namesake of my beloved man-pussy, got life in prison the other day. And it looks like he deserved every flippin' bit of it. :( I'd known for a while that he'd been charged with murder in connection with a car wreck, but I hadn't known the details, and here they are:

Man gets life term in death of mother, unborn baby
Gabe Smith
WEST POINT - His defense had hoped for a reduced charge of manslaughter. But Lonzie Nichols was sentenced to life in prison Thursday morning. Jurors in Clay County Circuit Court found Nichols guilty of murder for his role in the 2004 deaths of Kiki Johnson and her unborn child.
Nichols, 36, of 903 Highway 25, Apt. 13, in Starkville, was sentenced to life in the Mississippi State Penitentiary by Judge Lee Howard under the state's depraved heart murder law. He was found guilty of intentionally plowing his vehicle into the car Johnson was riding in, causing the deaths.
( more craziness )
Is that insane or what? The whole thing's chilling.
