ahahaha! Oh the confusion of laptops and menstrual cycles. It never ceases to amuse me! By the way, I think I've picked some names out: if it's a boy: Herbert, as in Frank Herbert, author of DUNE. Only downside is the possibility of calling it "Herbie" rather than pronouncing all the consonant sounds, as in the VW Herbie, also rhyming with "herpe." If it's a girl: Gypsy, because my nickname was "gypsy witch" back in the day due to the fact that apparently only gypsy witches ware pants without back pockets (as decreed by Kristen) and I happened to wear back-pocketless pants one day. Also, it's a shout out to MST3k. If it's genderless: The Satellite of Love, which is another shout out to MST3k, and appropriately affectionate for the thing that will be carrying the product of my sweat and tears. Yes? No? Suggestions? Feel better!
