My Laptop Hates Me

Tuesday morning I was innocently playing on my computer surfing youtube and watching some videos, when randomly my screen went glitchy. The last time this happened I was playing World of Warcraft. My laptop froze and when I forced shut down and shut it back on the screen basicaly told me it had to restart, which I did. But it said it again and again and again. I gave up and called Apple Support where a very nice guy helped me. He walked me through quite a few steps but nothing helped, 40 minutes later we tried everything. He gave me my case number so that I can schedule an appoinment with Apple to get my computer fixed.

Sadly, this won’t happen until next weekend when I go home (there’s not an apple store here). So I am computer-less for a little over a week (right now I am in the computer lab at the apartment complex I live in). Of course this had to  happen just DAYS before World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King comes out! I have a copy on reserve, and will pick it up anyways tomorrow at work … even though I am unable to play it :(

I still have my cell phone so I can surf the net that way, but that is very limited. Of course this also happened the week that I got new ideas for Despair.nu … perfect timing :( On the bright side I bought Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and Mario Galaxy at work when we had the buy 2 get 1 free so I have those to amuse myself! Already played Brandy on Wi-Fi with Mario Kart – so fun!


I Voted, Did you?

I did the mail in ballot since I am away for school, which was nice since the only line I had to wait in was at the Post Office :P (mailed it on Halloween). I am sure people are tired of hearing about the election, but oh well. It is definetly one that will be remembered and I am excited to see who wins. In case you wondered, I voted for Obama. I agreed with a lot of his points and ideas, so we’ll see how it goes :) If you voted, you don’t have to comment and state who you voted for if you are not comfortable with doing so, same goes if you can’t vote but still want/don’t want to mention who you would vote for.

In other news, work (Target) has a lot of good sales this week! Which makes me mad since I do get paid on Friday and that means I’ll be spending it at work haha. This week we have a deal where if you buy 2 Wii games (that have to fit in the price rang of $19.99-$49.99) you get one FREE! I told my mother about it and at first she didn’t want me to (afraid I’ll play them too much and not focus on school and also that I shouldn’t spend the money) but I convinced her to let me and let it be considered part of my Christmas gift :P I’ve been making a list of the games I want, so if you have any or any recommendations let me know :D!

  1. Mario Kart
  2. Sims City Creator
  3. My Sims Kingdom
  4. Endless Ocean
  5. Mario Galaxy
  6. Boom Blox
  7. Smash Brothers

I work Electronics in the morning (8am-4:30) so it’s safe to say when there’s down time, I’ll be drooling over the wii game case :D! Speaking of work, it is good and so is school. Ready for a break though :P
