Technology stinks

Get this: My camera broke last week, right? Guess what!? My computer is on the fritz now! What are the chances? This is an injustice.

They both had a one year warranty that ended a few weeks ago. I think that gadget makers put a self-destruct chip in them so that they go awry right after the one year mark. I can’t tell you how many times this happened to me. I bought the extended warranty on this here Toshiba laptop. But that’s another story for some other time. Needless to say, extended warranties don’t work if you lose your receipt. So now I’m having to dance sideways through fire hoops to get a copy of my receipt from Office Depot. Ugghh.

You know what’s so funny about this computer fritz? I can do anything in any program as normal. Everything works except internet explorer. I can’t visit any website EXCEPT my own and dlisted.com! Those are the only two sites my computer agrees with. So, until I get this fixed, please don’t think me a blog snob. I just can’t visit you right now without going to the library. I can’t even check my e-mail!

Ok, enough griping! The world is seeing greater injustices than my losing internet connectivity. If any of you go and have a baby (Jenica), or you win the lottery (will you buy me a camera and a new computer?), or you break your leg table dancing at Starbucks (ok, I’m making stuff up now)– post it here or e-mail me! I’m checking my e-mail every few days at the library until I find a remedy! Maybe I’ll borrow a book while I’m there, and that can’t be all bad!

  2. That stinks! I have a Toshiba laptop and I have plenty of problems but I bought an extended warranty until 2010

    As long as you have dlisted.com, you should be fine! Seriously he is my favorite,he’s funny. Who else do you read ? ( when you have an internet connection?).

  3. Sissi– I like People.com because I love seeing the Stars new hair and clothes and they always take the flattering pictures of the stars. But as far as the gossip goes, I like Perez and IDLYITW but LOVE dlisted. He’s so gross and totally nauseating sometimes but I do love the way he makes fun of people!

    I’m looking forward to you package. I’d love to hear some French tunes!
