So I wake up this morning to check my e-mail and myspace and all that jazz, and all of a sudden my ibook starts emitting this loud whirring sound. I'm like, "what the hell is that?" and then that stupid color wheel icon shows up so I'm thinking, "oh it must be frozen" so I try to restart but that won't even work until I lift up the computer and start to move it back and forth, thus making the sound stop for a second or two. I then realize that something is wrong with my hard drive, and the only way I can use my computer is if i keep it in constant motion.
Fuck that.
I wind up calling a repair place, and they tell me if the problem is indeed my hard drive (which they also believe it is) that it'll cost 300 bucks to fix. Booo (on the plus side, I will be upgraded to an 80 gig drive. It was 30 before so that is a very nice perk). What makes it extra sucky is that I'm trying to save up to move out at the moment, so an extra expenditure such as this is not something I can really handle at the moment. So what did I do after I dropped off my laptop for who knows how many days to make this day somewhat brighter? Why, watch ¡Oye Esteban!, of course. What else is there to cheer up shy, dry and verging on ugly (except not really) boys such as myself?
In other news, I feel like a giddy school girl (more so than normal).
