raloriaHello everyone.
As you might have noticed things have been quiet around here on my journal over the past couple of days. My beloved MacBook Pro laptop is sick. :( Tried to turn it on Friday night and got the usual start up sounds but nothing on the screen. Did everything the instruction manual said to try - multiple times and still nothing. Gah!!!!!
Saturday it went into the Apple Store shop. The guy said it might be the graphics card, so I'm hoping that's all it is. I really didn't back up everything recently (though I'd say 85% is backed up on my ext. drive) and they wanted to charge $90 to do a backup just in case. No thanks, I said. Talk about expensive. If I lose stuff, oh well. I'll probably be able to get most of it back.
Anyway, I'm coming to you from a public library computer. Bleh. Haven't had to do this in years. What a pain. However, I did buy an upgrade of Windows 7 last night and I'm going to work on getting that put on my PC. As some of you may know, I haven't had internet access on that machine for nearly 2 years thanks to sucky Vista.
Can I just say it sucks majorly to not have my laptop and my internet? *pouts* I didn't realize I'd be this lost without it, but I am. I'm supposed to get a call about the laptop tomorrow or Tuesday to tell me what the damage is and how much it'll cost.
I started to check out my flist a little, but it's too frustrating. Too many goodies (Hello! new Jensen & Danneel pics!) that I can't look at properly or save. Bummer. I'm going to have some major catching up to do once I get back online.
So until I get my laptop back or get online with my PC I'll be on hiatus. *iz sad*
This means...
* No Just 'Cause & no 5x08 First Impressions (it's typed up, but on the laptop *sigh*).
* Name That Cap 2 is suspended until I'm back up and running. And I will accept no more guesses on the last cap after Tuesday.
I'll try to pop online in a couple of days if I find out I won't be getting the laptop back for a while, or I can't get online with my PC. I miss you guys already! *hugs*
