I just got my computer running again.

I had an absolutely awesome weekend, but as I stumbled in Sunday morning, I found that something awful had happened just half an hour earlier- our sound reciever must have shorted and caught on fire. Nic just happened to wakeup and see the whole house was full of thick smoke. He got the reciever out before things got too bad (his Xbox had kind of melted into it as well,) but the problem is that smoke had been actively flowing through our apartment (got into the air system and everything).

There is soot everyone. Toxic, electronic soot. The carpets, walls, and anything with a running fan (ie my computer with about four 4600rpm intake fans) are just full/covered in soot. If only I had thought to take pictures…

We’ve got most of the worst parts taken care of, but our apartment is still pretty sootified.
