Isn't it amazing how nothing of consequence can happen to you for weeks on end? And then suddenly, shit falls from the sky in buckets?

Last week, I was walking to work while listening to my mp3 player when my headphones crap out on me. The right one just stopped working. That was a little annoying, but I was able to replace them for $15. Big deal. So when I get home, I go onto my computer for this, that and the other (the other usually being porn). I leave the room for a while, and when I come back, the monitor won't turn on. I push the power button over and over. Nothing. I check the power cord on both ends. Nada. It just decided to stop working. It's not that surprising, really. I've had that computer for about 6 and a half years. And since I would probably replace the whole computer in another year or so, I decided not to spend $150 bucks on a monitor I would just use for a year. Instead, I got me my very first laptop. It's loaded with goodies, including a webcam. Now I can share my beautiful self with the rest for the cyberworld. See?


Then, yesterday, when I got to work, I left my headlights on. By the time I left, 8 hours later, the battery was dead. So then I got to wait around until my friend arrived with jumper cables. Long week.
