I don't let just anyone in my living room you know.
Most of my belongings are water-damaged right now. I've got them somewhere else drying out, but I'll be moving them back in soon.
I have one chair to offer. Sit down, take a load off. Give those dogs a break.

Can I offer you some sausage?

This is part of a letter I got from Fortunecities last week..
We would like to offer our apologies for the problems you may have been experiencing trying to access the files that you had hosted on FortuneCity. On Sunday night there was a disk failure on a storage device containing your homepage files, followed by a second failure that occurred on the back-up disk.
At this point your data became inaccessible on both the original storage disk and the back-up. A specialized data recovery team then attempted unsuccessfully to retrieve the corrupted data.
The hardware manufacturers stated that the mean time between failures is 1,000,000 hours (over 100 years), meaning the probability of two disks failing within 3 hours of each other is almost impossible. We have already enhanced our normal secure back-up procedures to ensure the improbability of such an incident occurring again.

I'm building up my abode again.
So come back sometime! I'll try to get some more furniture in here soon.

Now I see my address has changed, but that's still alright, even though we seem to have lost some of the oomph of this district. The names of the streets were humorous. Now they're just all the same old saleable stuff, but NICE. So nice.
