Sinful Colors' Courtney Orange

I’m thinking of making this an ongoing series.  Still computerless, I find that my frustration with not being able to get anything done at home is reaching critical levels.  The things I have ended up doing have on occasion left me with a splitting headache and covered with spider bites, but have also made my closet look a hell of a lot better organized.  This is the drawback of the extended warranty: yes, your computer repairs are free, but you have to wait for Dell to get around to doing them.  I suspect Dell’s service depot is on Easter Island and that is why this is all taking so long.  Those big stone heads are not the world’s most efficient computer technicians.
