Time is on My Side

Oy.

So on Sunday after mom and dad left to go home and after I changed out of my hot hot (in more ways than one) wool plaid pants, I ran out to CompUSA and dropped off my laptop.

For those who are not aware, the ole portable was getting quite worn down. Droppings by unknown persons have broken the latch rendering it unclosable, as well as causing the screen to be "shifted" upward leaving a 2-3mm black gap at the bottom. Perhaps most heinous of all is the loss of the "x" and "y" keys from the keyboard. This was most definitely caused by Roman's pouncing from her perch on the open laptop (remember, unclosable). Her claws dug underneath the buttons and popped them right off. Silly kitty.

Well, the final straw was the battery's stubborness in refusing to take a charge. So long as it was plugged in, the computer ran fine, but the battery would not exceed the level of charge it was at at the time.

To make a long story short. My computer is in ICU at CompUSA for an indeterminate amount of time. In the meanwhile, I'm reacquainting myself with the world of Microsoft on my roommate's PC. Really, it's not that bad. The interface still lacks a certain charm, but it's just as useful. I believe the only real hindrance is the addition of adware somewhere on his computer which means every 30 seconds to 2 minutes, I have to pause whatever I'm doing to delete the 15 or so windows that pop up.

At first I thought phallic enhancement wasn't for me, but after the last 300 or so pop-ups...
