My computer just beeped three times. Is that a problem? Actually, it didn't just beep three times, it beeped three times, followed by three more beeps and then followed by three more beeps. That has to be a problem, right? I googled "computer beeps" and all I was able to find out is that if it beeps two long beeps you're going to die and if it beeps one long and three short beeps you're going to live. How am I supposed to understand a computer? It's worse than a baby. Do I feed it? Do I cuddle it? Does it want to be held? Or should I just shut it off? The beeping is probably somehow indirectly related to the System 32 folder. I bet it is. The evil thing.
Speaking of bad omens... can a blown light bulb portend a worthless open house? If so, I might as well take my condo off the market now and save everyone the hassle. Last time I had an open house, the bulbs in my bathroom light fixture blew the night before and I spent what seemed like hours on a stool trying to get the cover off the darn thing so I could change them. Tonight the entrance hall light blew... and would you know that I have an open house on Sunday? What are the chances of that happening? I am not superstitious (I am afterall a Christian) but then is God trying to tell me something?

Does your computer know Morse Code? If it's three short beeps, followed by three long beeps, and then three short beeps again, that's an SOS call.
Or it could be SSS, which suggests an identity complex since it thinks it's a snake.
Or OOO, which just means it's hungover.
Glad to report that the open house was a miserable failure and yet another light bulb blew in the closet last night.
Oh... reporting back on the computer. It's no longer beeping. I had too many applications running, when I closed them all, the poor useless baby shut up. I didn't want to turn it off, I was busy. Couldn't it see that I needed it shut up? It's like a pack horse. If you can't hold up under the weight, don't call yourself a computer. Worthless piece of...
It's Jamboree
jam·bo·ree
A noisy celebration.
Gymboree is a term concocted by some big loser who thought it was funny to butcher words.
