I was quite happy at 4:00 PM today. That was because I had just recieved my Xbox, which I had been waiting on since the semester started, about two months ago. Brimming with boyish delight, I insert my copy of Burnout 3 - my favorite game - and sit back on the lounge couch ready to play for “an hour max”.
But I never got to play Burnout 3. Wanna know why? My DVD drive had finally died. After close to six years together, my DVD drive decided to give up on me on one of the days I needed it most.
I quickly jump into doctor mode and succintly hacked it open, spraying everything with compressed air, including the inside of the drive. But nothing worked. Finally, hours after beginning my heroic, yet ultimately doomed attempt to resuscitate it, I finally gave up.
They say that when a loved one dies, you should focus on the time spent together instead of their death.
No.
Fuck that.
Planned obscolescene is for pussies. I want my Xbox back.
Last week I lost my phone. And my headphones. So Now I’ve lost my contacts and I can’t listen to music. Plus someone stole my flash drive yesterday, so I have to reget all my torrents. And wget. Plus I’m stressing out over packing for the Reed ting tomorrow, and some essays I have to do, and a story for VOX. *sigh* I need a vacation.
All my electronics are breaking on me or suck. My computer keeps overheating, which I believe is the result of a clogged fan; my MP3 player isn’t recognized by Ubuntu, and I need to upgrade it anyway; and my flash drive is too small to haul the big files I need around. Ineed a vacation
I’ve only had it for about 3 years and it’s at 40% of its orig. capacity, and I’m only getting an hour per charge. I need a new computer. Ad my Hard drives officially died yesterday. And I really want to go to the Nats with a VOX media pass, but that doesn’t seem like it’ll be possible, so I’ll have to pay the $60 out of pocket to go. I better win something. I’m kinda miffed at my life right now; can you tell?
For the biggest part, it’s the only image editing software that WON’T let you color in black when you select it! I don’t see why it comes so highly regarded, I would rather be using Paint. At least it lets you color in lack. Case in point: right now I’m trying to get the comment bubbles working right, but the default color was too bright, so I had to edit it. and In comes GIMP, with no matter what color I choose is being displayed in the shade of gray that was too bright in the first place! Now I’m wasting time trying to find a new image editing software to actually finish the job the GIMP was supposed to do, and I’m writing this rant. *sigh* I need to get laid.
