Conflagration
Okay, so last night the power went off shortly after midnight, taking my clock, lamp, etc. with it. Not preferring to read my book by the light of Hex, my laptop, I went to sleep thinking that my lamp would wake me up when it came back on so I could reset my clock properly so the alarm would wake me up on time, all of which transpired according to plan. However, I had to set the clock from Hex, which had been hibernating for the last several hours...or so I thought. I took it out of its case to find that it was extremely hot to the touch. Apparently some driver or other responsible for the hibernation mode had failed to load, with the result that my laptop had been left on for ages in its presumably heat-trapping case. Moral: Tiny netbooks may lack adequate cooling. Buy more ice cubes. Also, power outages are silly.
Then I had a dream where I successfully eluded a cop who didn't like my car's bumper sticker. I seem to be having a lot of that kind of dream lately.
