I've installed SMARTmon on my system and it's reporting that my root drive is a little hot, but I've taken the covers off and it seems to be cooling down. Other than that, no dramatic errors appear to be cropping up. I'll keep my eye on it for a while and hope that it was just overheating. Given that the Windows™ drive also showed errors, it may have been motherboard temperature rather than drive temperature that caused the issues.

I had the pleasure this evening, after cleaning the kitchen, of sorting through some ancient porn, to wit, Playboys from the 1970s. And, y'know what, I married a very beautiful woman. Before the '90s, before plastic surgery, Photoshop, and private personal trainers starting manufacturing impossibly long-torsoed, long-legged, sleek and glistening women, the women of Playboy were, well, the girl next door.

And they were. In ways that you simply can't find these days. Remember the old porn theory? That porn turned men into ravenous, raping beasts? The new porn theory is that since normal women cannot possibly look like what the Internet easily serves up every day men have trouble relating to normal women; what they see in companions pales in comparison to online smut, and so women have a much harder time getting over the twins hurdles of looks and ease-of-use-- so to speak.

I liked wandering through those ancient tomes. Those were real women. They had bodyfat. They had real breasts. They looked like my wife. Okay, so that had really big hair too, that was the '70s, that was the fashion.
