working with my bootleg PC laptop until I can sell my body for a Mac
The countdown to my Mac is back on. I wrote some silly post two years ago saying I wasn’t gonna worry about saving for a Mac Book because the iPad was to be my lord and savior Jesus Christ, then I lost my job and $1400 electronics gave way to rent. No way was I ever gonna afford an iPad until Q stepped in and rescued me with one. But do you know what an iPad is not? A computer. So, now that I am back on my mental feet and can juggle a piss poor budget with the best of the 99%, I’m once again worshiping at the feet of a Mac Book because my bootleg PC laptop is determined to ruin my life.
This is all my fault, actually. Q gave me a perfectly wonderful PC laptop nearly three years ago that became my best friend. And I burned out the hard drive. I’m now typing on my rebound laptop, an older model borrowed from my dad that was used to repay a debt to my uncle. I love how my uncle will accept chickens and eggs and bootleg laptops for legal fees when his clients can’t pay in American currency. I say that in all sincerity. But it’s time. I’m back in the market for a new boyfriend with a backlit keyboard, Web camera and the mind of God. Rent still comes first, but surely I’ve got a few spare body parts that would sell well in Ukraine? It’s a plan I haven’t perfected.
I’m missing the photos from my previous layout. I’ll have to work on restoring the photo galleries and also figure out how to best use featured images in each individual post. This layout is great as an electronic journal, not so much as a photo showcase. It’s not like I’m a photographer, but I did enjoy borrowing images from Google for my posts, and this layout doesn’t highlight them well. I’m trying to decide how I feel about that.
Oh, and my year-long depression drug study has ended. I’m trying to decide how I feel about that. I’ll miss the nurse practitioner who ran the study. Maybe I can just sit outside her office on Thursdays reading a book or surfing the ‘net. It’ll be like I never left and like I’m still crazy. Good times.
Faking your sanity in comments…
I fake my way through sanity by ingesting copious amounts of cookies, chocolate and ice cream.
Keep talking about it, maybe someone with the power to bestow one upon you will surface!
Oh my goodness the story of your uncle – hilarious. I hope you can get a new laptop – even if not a MAC?a $300 new Acer is probably 10x better that the rebound LOL
I opted for the $300 Acer and it’s like working on glass with a pair sharp skates. Smoooooooooth. But I was working with a total clunker before that so it’s like that old Eddie Murphy joke. Starving to death and being given the best cracker ever. Is that a saltine?
But I understand wanting what you want. If you do find someone who gives you a Mac, please ask them for PS for me. I will take a naked pic of me for it in exchange, I swear to Eddie Murphy, I will.
I paid $650 for my laptop. Three Hundred and fifty dollars was the actual price I paid for the computer at Best Buy. Three hundred is what I paid a computer repair company to remove a virus a few months later. They say if I buy a Mac, I wouldn’t have these virus problems. But unless I win the lottery, I won’t be buying a Mac anything any time soon. Rent is too damn high and Macs are too damn expensive.
Bwahahahaha! I’m sorry, I feel for you, really,
but the way you describe all of this is just hilarious. You already had me at the title!
