i am a crazy person

[rone]

So my CD burner has lockjaw, which necessitates the use of a paper clip if i want to open its maw.  And there is not a paper clip in the house to be found.  But wait!  My memory tells me that i saw a paper clip somewhere on the driveway, deep in a crack.  Off i go in my jammies, in the rain, to search for a sodden, sodding paper clip.  And i found it!

Now the drive is having software lockjaw.  Maybe i should go back to bed.
