Round Two

My computer almost caught on fire yesterday.

The stupid battery wire is being eaten by my cats, or is being bent endlessly by my writing in bed at weird angles. Whatever the case a couple of days ago i noticed that wire was bent so badly that the lining of battery wire was tearing.

Regardless of the "stop messing with it" voice that persisted i really wanted to play the Sims Pet edition and put caution to the wind.

So yesterday as i was naming my new lab Story, sparks began spouting out of exposed wire. After yelling for what seemed like 5 minutes, i pulled the sparky plug from my computer, and stared in agony at another computer problem.

Either I have really bad luck with computer devices or Best Buy hates me. So i have to make another trip to best buy so they can replace sparkly battery wire although the guy on the phone said my full coverage doesn't cover a battery catching on fire.

I guess you actually have to catch on fire for them to replace it for free.

Postscript:

1) HAPPY NEW YEAR

2) Since i only have 47% battery life i must make this quick. New Years Eve was okay. Went Car shopping saw a pretty Jeep for 10,000!!! but sales dude was really hot, though we didn't buy the car. 2 more weeks of break and i have decided i must finish at least one script/story (seriously) to see if i can actually do this writing thing. My new adapter for computer will arrive in 8 days(damn) but hopefully he meant four and it will be in the mail sometime this week. I hope it will come because i can't do anything on this computer except write really short posts and check email. Until then...

it is totally best buy. they are full of hate.

Story is a good name for a lab.

and a sparkly computer is pretty exciting. you HAVE to admit that.

my computer's official "name" (i had to give it one when i set it up or registered it or something) is SPARKY. perhaps your computer was simply suggesting a cute nickname for itself????

Oh, dear... well, I can totally relate to computer woes at this point.

Sounds like you were an exceptional gift giver! My goodness, hon... hope you saved something back for yourself!

Happy Merry New Year Christmas to you, too.
