I Am a Mechanical Genius! Praise Me!

A while back, I was lamenting the fact that the CD player on my stereo had quit working, and I'm sure you were all waiting in an agony of suspense to find out how that situation would resolve itself. "Will she ever be able to play Zenyatta Mondatta again?" I'm sure you were asking. "Will she have to go out and buy another crappy stereo system that will break down in less than a year? Tell us!"

Well, worry no more, loyal readers, because your humble blog-keeper is on the case! Yes, that's right I was, able to fix the stereo my very own self, by -- and this is the really clever bit! -- removing the cover and re-seating the jammed disc! I know, amazing, huh? Scotty and LaForge are going to be calling me any moment for engineering tips...
