raloria** Will end up taking the laptop back to the Mac Store Monday or Tuesday about this blue tint problem. The weird thing is, if I hit certain keys or press down on the case, it goes away, and lately I've been able to keep it away for long periods of time. But it's still an annoying problem and something that shouldn't be happening, so back she'll go.
Btw, the part that went bad was the Logic Board (the motherboard on a Mac). Best part? We weren't charged for it because of an extended warranty that we didn't even know we had! So we only paid some $50 for the diagnostic & the labor! Awesomeness! They've also offered to update my Mac to Leopard w/a backup of all my files for free (I have the discs for installing Leopard, I just never did it). :D
** Finally bought "The Fall" on DVD Friday night and showed it to my mom. She liked it....said it was "different" even though there were some parts that didn't make sense. Too crazy though how her big concern at the end of the film was that she couldn't find a credit for the monkey, Wallace, in the end credits! LOL! She even made me replay them so she could look! "Why didn't they credit the monkey?" My mom cracks me up sometimes. :P
** I'm staying away from most of the reports, pics, etc from Chicago Con. Why? Because I haven't typed up my own reports from VanCon. *sigh* I'm so behind and it sucks! I really can't wait until SPN goes into hiatus so I can get caught up on a lot of things.
** Speaking of Vancouver, I can't believe how many webcams from there that I keep tabs on are out of order right now. Most of them are not updating and it's annoying. Bah. I miss seeing current views of the city. :(
** How cool is it that LJ now time stamps entries when they're actually posted instead of when you open the "Post an Entry" window? Me Likie. :)
** Went to Fry's Electronics on Friday and heard my first Christmas music of the season. I know it's the middle of November and nearly Thanksgiving, but it still felt too early to me.
** Looking forward to resuming the Name That Cap Challenge on Tuesday. Yay! :D
** I'm behind in comments....again! Gah! So frustrating. If I could just devote a couple of days to nothing but replying to comments I KNOW I could make some real progress. Unfortunately, right now the need to get caught up on my posts for the last 2 SPN eppies is taking precedence.
