In the past hour, I’ve managed to burn my finger, give myself a colossal sinus headache, accidentally pack a library book into a box of books destined for a month of storage and 10 days of cross-country travel, and drop a small but surprisingly heavy external hard drive onto my head from a distance of four feet; I wonder if this is my apartment’s way of telling me that it’s sick to death of the sight of me, and I really should go to the library now.

I was not aware that you lived in Amityville. Rumor has it there are horrors there.

If the hard drive fell onto Bakerina’s head from a distance of four feet, then I am truly sorry for the lump, which must be quite a few megabytes in size. If, however, Bakerina was actually able to drop the drive from four feet over her head, then I must insist she show us a picture of these incredibly long arms. Seeing is believing!
For the record, did you have the colossal sinus headache before or after the head bonking incident. Knowing this will help be better predict when you will stub your toe this evening.

Poor Bake. You *think* the incidents began with your actions but they didn’t. They began with the things. Your inanimate objects sense you are moving - that is, they sense a major disruption in their lives - so they’re acting out a little. It’s the same malignant energy that drew the rats and dying cockroach. At this point, you may need a ritual exorcism, but here’s a cheaper method. Just open all your doors and windows for an hour or two. It’ll serve to kindly invite any objects to leave the premises if they really feel they must search for a stable home. When given the dignity of a choice, most objects will willingly choose to remain (because they do love & trust you), and things will calm down a lot.
(Hmm. May have to develop these directions and post them on the wiki.)

Brilliant, Pam. And yes. Please do scwiki it, cuz I will need to reference it in the future.

This explains so much, Pam. I think my inanimate objects must be in a perpetual state of thinking I’m moving. I’m not clumsy, after all.
Shame it’s winter, else I’d have every single door and window wide open right now.
Pam, if you don’t scwiki it, I’ll do it for you.

Okay, Warner Bros. fans, say it with me: Pamela T. Beancounter...Suuuuuuuper Geeeeeeeenius. :)
Seriously, honey, thank you. I never thought of that.
To answer Keith’s question...well, what I did wasn’t so much drop the hard drive on my head as pull it onto my head from a great distance. I do not have four-foot-long arms, but I *am* supernaturally short-waisted, which makes my arms look longer.

Oi, Pam. Someone’s chucked your idea into scwiki holus bolus, so you better go and fix it.
