I went to pick up my laptop bag and someone *coughmecough* forgot to zip up the laptop compartment. So everything fell out in a wonderful display of stupidity.
      It was working fine until I tried to plug the VGA in; it did the blue between changing resolutions and never came out of it. Poor thing. And it seems that all the fiddling we did made the hard drive controllers die or something along that line. Can’t find a hard drive in the OS X install CD or anywhere else. So I decided:
     TIME TO GET A MACBOOK PRO!!!!! That was my intention for most of my money anyway, but it looks like I may be able to get it a little earlier than I thought. Very exciting.
     But for now I’m stuck with just a PC. I’m actually coping pretty well. I have most of the stuff working (email, newsfeeds, aim, iTunes), just not with that Mac touch. Besides iTunes, which is of course a mac program. I even got my ipod to behave with a lil app called MacDrive. Very nice.
     So for Christmas I hope I get mostly money, cause I’m gonna need it; for both my car and for this little slice of heaven…
                                     Merry X-Mas Everyone

Who’da thunk?
And i’ve gotten wordpress to finally behave, my one peeve is since i’m using a redirect from frayedwires to blog.frayedwires, wordpress pretends your logged out and “have” to log in, when if you go to the comments it will say your logged in as your name. Strange. But i’ll bear with it if you will.

So happy new year everyone,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I had a very unproductive new years day. Pretty much all day watching tv and playing with our (me and my brother’s) Xmods.

Did you happen to know that they now have 15 minute and 30 minute rechargable batteries? This is a big improvement to say, 4 hour chargers. We use them in the formentioned xmods. Its nice because then we can play with them without waiting for as long a time. Pretty fun. Plus marathons on tv of like everything. I chose an educational show (not really) to watch that was a marathon. It talked about myths(they tested the myths youve heard and blah blah blah blah) and when i got bored with that(and had seen the show before) i played with the xmods. they go fast

yup, sure do.
Have i told you to look at the post “Need I say more”? I like it.

oh, and as I end every post (until after my birthday)
stuff you could by for my birthday.
