No, my computer’s not gay…or a cowboy. And really, it didn’t catch fire. But the screen is completely broken. Sad. It almost slipped off my lap Sunday morning, and though I caught it on the top corner of the screen I must have pressed too hard. All I get now is a white screen with a colorful crack running from the bottom left corner to the top right. Underneath the crack are thin rainbow-colored vertical lines.
So now it’s relegated to desktop status. Fortunately it’s only the display that’s broken, so I didn’t lose any data. Kind of defeats the purpose of a laptop, though.
I carried an old monitor from school home on Monday. I think I get extra geek points for carrying a computer monitor on the Ubahn. Not that I really need extra geek points.
Fortunately I have ordered a new laptop that will arrive with my parents in less than 3 weeks. I guess I overestimated the life of my computer. She lived a long life as a computer, and will live on as a code-free DVD player.
Your computer is a piece of crap. I should throw it off the balcony. Or, light it on fire and scream “fire”, “fire” like beavis and butt-head used to do.
