- One absent significant other
- Two unexpected power outages in quick succession
- One mysteriously corrupted backup on a physically write-protected optical disk that was fine a month ago
- 200MB of corrupted data
- One can of Red Bull
- One manic grin
- One 80W amplifier
- One CD changer loaded up with Nine Inch Nails
I suppose it’s not much as coping mechanisms go, but I happen to like it.
