Our laptop was officially ‘elderly’ the day after we bought it. Four years later, someone, whose name rhymes with Shmeddie Mack spilled orange soda on the keyboard, effectively incapacitating it. A USB keyboard was acquired and that worked surprisingly well (despite the fact that the theme to Sanford and Son played in my head every time I looked at it).
Until it didn’t. The laptop keyboard decided to be retarded and go ““~~~~“`~~~“~~~~ like a mad thing. So I did what any red-blooded American would do in an economic crisis both personal and national: I went to Best Buy and bought a new laptop.
It’s so shiny! And new! And shiny! And will give me a chance to start over with my Sims! My first priority, obviously, is getting all of my iTunes crap moved over successfully (we are not hopeful, not at all) and then all my words (my previous blog is still in Word document format – all two million words of blather), and then I can re-install all my Sims. Now, I know I could transfer my game files from the old ‘puter to the new one but I’m not going to. I would like a clean slate, and maybe, just maybe, I can create heterosexual Sims.
All my Sims are gay. I have no idea why this is, but it has always been the case.
So, new computer. Hooray! That means more and better website updates! See, I haven’t been neglecting you, my 5 loyal readers. Not at all! It’s just… the keyboard, right? And… well, the weather has been better so Jillian and I have been hanging around outside for more than 15 minutes at a time. And… well… I just don’t have much to say since everything is more or less hunky. And dory. One might say that it’s all just hunky-dory.
