fucking computer
Dec. 28th, 2004 09:40 amI'm baaaack!
Que scary music.
Or not.
So. On the day before SeSa went live I got a check inthe mail from my settlement, two monthsearly and for quite a bit more than I was expecting. I called my parents to chat and got on the computer to surf around a bit. I was checking LJ and my computer made a loud POP and hten a soft PING. I thought something popped off the back ofthe computer flew into the air and landed onthe desk. I couldn't find anything. Ten minutes later my computer dies and never started again.
Luckily I had backed everything up on Sunday.
So I have been without a computer for a week, going through withdrawls, being swamped at work (number one store in comp increase in the district, and we believe the region!). I finally managed to get down to Best Buy an hour away and buy a new computer. It is lovely. LCD screen! Sitloads of memopry, I can play Sims2 and City of Heroes!! I squee over my new computer. It's a little loud, but I can live with that.
I also may have spent way too much money on DVDS. But I can now watch the entire series of Buffy and all the old Universal horror movies! I have also gottne myself out of debt and set aside money for Challenge. Did not do anything with my eyes yet, BUT I am considering moving this spring.
Pondering, pondering.
I shall be going back to se what I missed, loading games and programs back onto this thing and building the CD racks I got for Christmas that ALL of my CDs will fit on.
There shall probably be a few more posts today as I must thank people for cards and gifts and just paly catch up. I predict at least skip=1500.
This computer is soooo fast. I love it.
I hope everyone had fantabulous holidays!!
