bliumchikStan came over after school to fix my computer yesterday. The general diagnosis was "trashcan". If only i could afford a new PC... anyway, it went basically *switch on* *click* *stare* *ineffective clicking* *death glare* "Reformat. NOW."
Of course I couldn't just abandon all my files. So began the search for writable CDs. Well, I had some, but Stan frankly pronounced them "crap". We found ONE good one, and after deleting a shitload of unnessecary programs so we could actually access nero, the damn thing got wasted due to an interruption of the burning process. Grrr. My mum had no idea where the good cds were and suggested waiting for my dad, so I dug up my guitar and spent the next half hour or so teaching Stan how to pull off a pulloff (his pun, not mine) and also the C chord. My mum and grandma were hovering around going EAT, EAT, EAT, so we went outside, whereupon my dad arrived, found the CDs, and then informed us that I can't reformat since the windows disk has inexplicably gone missing. Well, great.
After a few more futile attempts to avoid my mum's ballistic feeding, Stan left, reccommending a reformat or at least some extra RAM. There's a computer fair or something in a few weeks, I'll get my dad to buy some.
Well, thanks anyway Stan! At least my computer now works, for a given value of "work", so i'll have those sky photos on devart asap, and, like, yeah. It's more or less usable with minumum amount of swearing and absolutely no breaking of anything, at all, promise.
On a completely different topic, I had no time for breakfast this morning and I got to school right on the bell, so i had to pretend to go to the bathroom in order to buy cereal from the canteen. And we just finsihed THREE PERIODS OF MULTI IN A ROW BITCH!! oooow my eyes...
