"Smoke is never a good thing..."
*****
So, after the hallway adventures of blog 004 I thought I had my fair share of bad luck for at least one week. Well, I was wrong.
Yesterday morning my laptop was 'kind of broken' and easily fixed, but while trying to do this easy fix, 'kind of broken' turned into 'very broken'. Yes, there was smoke. Yes, I did cry (but not until today). And yes, it is going to cost a helluva lot to fix. We're talking about a decision of whether it's worth fixing despite it being only 6 months old, or if I'd be better off buying a new one altogether. The problem with this picture? Yep, you guessed it. I'm BROKE!
In fact, I'm MORE THAN broke. I owe MYSELF money!
Not only that, but my phone is also on it's last legs, and my xbox 360 decided today to not play any xbox 360 games. Classic xbox games? Sure. DVDs? Yup. The games I actually want to play? Uhm... no.
So here I am, needing an excuse to feed to my parents if my friend can't shit miracles and fix my baby, using my roomie's very first laptop (we're talking Windows ME, don't-close-the-lid-or-it'll-snap-off, just-give-it-a-couple-of-minutes kinda thing) to read my emails and update my blog, but not at the same time. Dare I try Facebook?
So, in conclusion, technology hates me. And I hate technology.
But at least I can still blog.
laptop <6 months old.....warranty?
ReplyDeleteAnd in the end, Blogging is all that we need. :P
ReplyDeleteMatt, long story short, Packard Bell and Currys are both saying that they wont fix it, that it's not their responsibility but the other one's. It's why my friend was looking at it in the first place.
ReplyDeleteBill, we could put that to the tune of a Beatles song. "All we need is blog, blog, blog. Blog is all we need." :P
