also broke

my computer is out of service for the time being, and has been all week. the effect of this has been exile to the computer center and a (hopefully small) wad of my cash going to the computer store.
on top of that, the week has been incalculably busy.

honestly, i have very little idea of what has happened in the outside world. apparently this has happened:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Little Reggie," the smaller of two alligators at large in Los Angeles, was behind bars on Friday after firefighters ended a tense standoff by hauling the thrashing reptile from a drainage canal.
