Doink.
I was so boastful of the Mac not freezing or “hanging” on me. Recently, I am starting to think that I may well have exposed myself to tomato-pelting by the PC fanboys.
Just while I was churning out all three parts of the Sayuri gripe saga, I was distressed when I had to restart her because I could no longer force-quit the applications. Though I was trying to click using the trackpad, I wasn’t getting any response, but ironically, the Internet Radio was still playing.
If a computer has truly “frozen,” even the Internet Radio should be frozen too, right?
So, even though I was still so puzzled, I decided to just start over and restart my computer.
When I restarted, I noticed that the trackpad still won’t respond! Puzzled, I kept on trying to press it, to no avail. The mouse arrow moves, but the clicker won’t click!
I was already starting to wonder if I needed to bring Sayuri in for repairs. prematurely. Then I realized: I was pressing on my mouse.
Oh great. Classic case of Absentminded Lorie.
It’s been several times that I thought my computer had frozen that I thought I needed to restart Sayuri but it turns out that I had only been putting pressure on my mouse, when I would lie down and work on with Sayuri on my tummy.
Does this mean that I need to either eat more again, sleep more, or just be... Less preoccupied?
You tell me. I sure felt like a total, err, ox y moron. :p

The cursor is implemented at a really low level in Quartz. Its very common to have the mouse work when all else is long dead.
