So, good news: my computer is baaaaack! And fixed, as far as I can tell. Let me tell you, though, not having a computer forced me to entertain myself in some mind expanding ways, including listening to educational podcasts (LOOOVE Stuff You Should know and Stuff Mom Never Told You), playing Sudoku, studying Spanish and reading novels. Okay, and also playing approximately 50 games of Solitaire on my iPod and taking approximately 500 pictures of Charlie napping in different positions.
But anyway, so I went to pick up my computer today and I asked the guy what had been wrong. I suspected there was something wrong with the fan, but wanted to know the real deal. He asked me if I use my computer in my bed. I said sometimes, but then after I realized I do it all the time. It's comfy to watch movies in bed! So anyway, he said he found an abnormally large amount of "pelusa" (fuzz) in my computer that was blocking the fan. I swear to God that as he told me, he raised his eyebrows and was COMPLETELY judging me! I mean, I'm sorry, Mr. Holier-Than-Thou-Computer-Fixer, have you NEVER wanted to watch an episode of Lost before you nod off at night? Then he asked me how long I had had the computer, I told him two years (well, two years in July) and he said, "Wow, that was a lot of fuzz for only two years!" Agggh! Apparently, ladies and gents, I have a fuzz problem. So sue me.
He then proceeded to wrap up my cord around the thingy (what is that called?) as you do, and he asked, "Do you wrap your cord like this?" And I said, "Yes, when I need to bring my computer somewhere." AND THEN HE JUDGED ME FOR THAT TOO!! Apparently, it can cause the cord to fray. However, I never take my computer out of my apartment, I'm too afraid it'll get stolen. So I told him that and he RAISED HIS EYEBROWS AGAIN.
Anyway, I don't know what this dude's problem was, but the point is, I have my computer, and it hasn't yet randomly shut off on my yet. I hope it stays fixed because I don't have to go back and deal with Judgy McJudgerson again.

I think it was Mocky Mc Mockerson.
I used to have to blow out the fans with compressed air on my Lemon Toshiba on a regular basis. Life is dusty.
I'm sure people judge me all the time. I am and idiot. I've adopted the vaguely oblivious thing and wear sunglasses. And, you know, make Jackie talk for me.
Hahahaha! maybe he has something wrong with his eyebrows :P I'm sure you aren't the only one that uses it in bed or wraps the cord wrong or is scared to bring it out of your apartment. If I had a computer of my own I would sure use it while laying down and def never ever bring it out of the house!!! I'm scared just bringing my ipod with me!! You should have asked him if there was something wrong with his eyes hahahah I would have :P
Annje: Mocky McMockerson?? I like it, I like it!
Danielle: Yeah, well, I don't remember you doing that, but I remember Kim doing it. I should probably get one of those thing-a-ma-jobbers.
Shannon: Yeah, maybe! I kept rolling my eyes at him, so probably he thinks I have a problem with my eyes.
God. I hate people like that. I think I told you how I've been on a mission for efervescent vitamins and everytime I go to the pharmacy I am met with raised brows. That's hardly a weird request considering that they DO INDEED EXIST...somewhere...and are more absorbable. I got a lecture once that Chile doesn't have weird products like that. Oh well.
Computer fuzz--fun! Yeah, so I'm with Shannon--maybe this guy had a shady botox job and is now doomed to permanent judgmental expressions!
I use to listen stuff you should know to practice my english, there is another podcast you should check, is stuff they don't want you to know, they talk about cospiracy theories, but it's so pathetic and ridiculous that you'll find yourself laughing when you're listening.
Once they said that the water has something so the goverment can control you through it.
P.S.: Sorry for my english
I always thought you were kind of linty. Kidding. And what's up with the mocking? What a strange experience. I had to look for a cord for a computer once and went to all of those hipster computer repair shops around Rancagua and Salvador and they were all condescending, so it might not just be him!
Glad you're back online though!
