goal (almost) achieved

along the lines of the glass being half full vs. half empty, i have decided to look at today's goal as almost being achieved (instead of being closely missed). the page count stands at 39 pages, about 3/4 of a page short of the full 40 aimed at for today. i do have an almost valid excuse: computer probs. my pc has been freezing up spontaneously for the past few weeks, causing me to reinstall windows (no effect) and exchange pieces to find out which component is responsible. currently i am blaming my cpu, although that isn't certain yet. it's a bit hard to find out whether the system is running stable now with a different cpu, as it had been crashing extremely irregularly.

i would force myself to write another page, but that would only result in one page of jibberish which i'd have to rewrite anyway. so, goal for tomorrow: cross the psychologically important 40 page mark.
