Turn the sound up. It’s not the case fans. I have cleaned everything and tested them. It’s running hot, too, and I am doing zip right now, except accessing the internet. So. Distracting.

The Mubble-Fubbles
Mod R is off today and this is a personal post. Whining. It’s whining. I need to vent my blah into the world, so if you are here for book updates, you might want to skip this one. Otherwise, come sit with me on the fussy bench. There is tea and cookies. My mubbles-fubbles are
