Thrown is a short film about salvaging a lost day.
When Hearts Meat: The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispaahan by James Morier; Illustrated by Cyrus LeRoy Baldridge
The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispaahan by James Morier was weeded from the library today. Flipping through it, I was really taken with the absolutely stunning artwork by Cyrus LeRoy Baldridge (1889-1975). But what really caught my eye was the rather awkward inscription accompanying the artwork. The only thing I can think is that it must have been a literal translation.

The Gateway 2150 (De)repair Saga – Part I
I tried posting this inquiry on some message board specifically intended for dealing with Gateway laptops. But it’s not the most active board out there. And after about a week of not getting any help I thought:
“Protozoic has always given me plenty of love. Maybe they’d have some insight into this whole issue.”
So here’s the project at hand:
We have this old Gateway 2150 laptop that we never used for about 5 years due to the fact that it ran really slowly compared to our newer computers, and had a tendency to crash even when operating standard Windows 98 applications.
Also the battery doesn’t seem to recharge.
And also the fan didn’t seem to come on ever.
But this year I decided I’d try resuscitating the thing. I only plan to use it for word-processing, a little e-mail checking on occasion, possibly to learn linux.
