A NEW COMPUTER AND AN OPPORTUNITY MISSED

So I've been MIA for a while.

This is less than shocking since I am not the most reliable updater.

But I have a decentish excuse this time.

My computer was pretty old... like 5 years. And If I think about how much wear and tear my poor little body has endured in the last 5 years and how it's a miracle that I'm not broken at this point then it makes sense that my poor little computer protected by nothing but a cracked plastic case finally met it's end.

At the end of it's life it had one working usb port (the other was packed in with bits of crap from my purse) it wouldn't charge, it had a battery life of 25 minutes, the case was cracked all over, the screen was about to pop off, all the keys are sticky and I was missing the 5 button.

Which is my second favorite number.

So it was a big deal. And it was a total pain in the ass to use. It crashed every time I opened a word document and opening a webpage made it run so slowly that I could have grown myself a fine beard in the time it took me to post a blog.

BUT

I hauled my ass to the istore and after aimlessly wandering around lost in the glimmer and glare of fancy electronics finally a kind man from the genius bar plucked me out of the crowd and in 20 minutes we'd picked my computer, software, protection plans and I had skipped the line to check out.

Of course Apple is the devil and doesn't accept like 99% of credit cards so I then spent 40 extra minutes juggling calls from my dad and the card company before I could actually make the purchase. But I walked away with a shiny new macbook pro that isn't cracked or slow or a total pain in the ass.

It's awesome.

And beautiful.

And I loaf it.

So hopefully because I love to play with it I'll be able to update y'all more consistently. Because my life is just sooooo interesting.

In side news, no, I never heard from PBA and I'm working my ass off to make sure I don't get wasted and skype him like usual. Because that leads to more promises of carnal bliss and more disappointment. But he can't get under our skin too much because I have a new project. A boy project. Tell you more later but for now I'm going to go back to watching SVU and vegging on the couch. The gym regime starts again tomorrow.

Ha.

  3. Hey lady, sorry it took me so long to respond but I'm a slowpoke and I'm lazy as shit about updating, let alone checking comments. Checked out the blog... very gnarly. (in a good way) I like to start blogs from the beginning so thus far I've only gone through June but I look forwards to reading more :) Blog on!
