blodeueddYesterday morning, I explained to a student the meaning of "knock on wood".
Yesterday afternoon, I read a story about a guy's computer freezing up on him, and the screen going black, and thought to myself that I was glad my computer seemed all right, DVD-burner problems aside.
Yesterday evening, my monitor hiccuped, then died.
I believe, okay??? *bows down*
Today, feeling quite the big girl, I braved the hordes of shoppers in Akihabara and bought myself a (bigger) monitor, as well as a 320GB external hard drive, since they were having a sale at Yodobashi. I also now have a Gold Point Card. Go me!
