-- Ugh, I think I'm allergic to cigarette smoke. A guy just walked in reeking of it and the spot between my eyes started throbbing. *_* It stopped throbbing after he walked out. Coincidence? Meh. Not that I needed a reason to avoid the crap, that is ( Read more... )

So I had my MacBook out on a lapdesk propped on the armrest of the couch, so I could take advantage of the breeze coming from the window since my A/C is currently non-functional ( Read more... )

In addition to not picking up any signal from my modem, my MacBook is now making soft buzzing sounds whenever it's processing something - and even louder buzzing whenever I do something like, say, click on a link or drag down my scroll bar. I'm fairly certain it hasn't done this before.

Crap, don't die on me now, little guy. *coaxes* I'm having ( Read more... )
