Now my computer is back to not working. It’s been not working for a while, so don’t think I had all the time in between these posts. I’m really frustrated… I can’t figure out what’s going on in the slightest. I wish it would have broken at the beginning of the break at least. Not 2 days before probably my most difficult semester as an undergraduate. Blah! I dunno what to do. I’ll probably keep fiddling after sleep. I guess I’ll sleep. If I can’t get it to work for a prolonged period of time and I have to send it in and they reformat it or something I’ll lose some. I dunno how much though, or what. I was in the process of saving things onto an external hard drive one time when I had it working pretty well when it stopped midway, and now I can’t get it to recognize the external hard drive, except once, and then it was so short I couldn’t get a good look around. I know I don’t have everything I want, and that’s bad enough. *sigh* Well, not much I can do about it now I suppose, I should just sleep and work on it later. It’s weird, keeps acting like there’s always something plugged in the USB ports, something bad with the USB ports. Sometimes it installs a USB Controller. When I start up the touch pad doesn’t work, and plugging in mouses hasn’t worked, but I can use the keyboard. If I fiddle with it, usually by trying to make it detect new hardware, it’ll switch, so the touch pad works, but the keyboard doesn’t. Eventually though something else happens that makes it so neither works, and when that happens it’s really hard to do anything. I can’t get it to restart normally either. I have to turn it off manually. And occasionally random other bad things happen. Once it asked me for a password through the LCD on the front, and I don’t have a password for that, so I just restarted to get around it. I’ve gotten blue screens of death a couple of times. I’ve had an incorrect BIOS sum or something like that when restarting, I had to hit F1 for some reason. Gah! Maybe when I talk to a service guy I can just refer him to my blog. 🙂
Ok, getting away from the topic of my infuriating computer, I watched those movies I mentioned. Neither of them were very good or bad. My apathy remains intact. I ate some Lucky Charms… they seem to have more marshmallows than I remember.
Yesterday was my record low as far as steps go. I’m questioning the accuracy of my pedometer, because I think the dropping it has gotten to it, though. It seemed to be working when I checked it though, and I didn’t do much moving yesterday it’s true.
You all didn’t cross your fingers.
