So my computer spontaneously combusted about a week and a half ago, there was actually smoke-smell.
I believe it's the motherboard but I don't want to chance buying a new one only for it to fry again because the power supply is the real culprit. So I'll have to get a friend to look at it to try to figure out the exact extent of the damage.
anyways, this means that I've gone for about a week and a bit without internet connection and let me tel you - it sucks.
big time.
I don't know the news.
I can't call my mom on skype.
I can't chat with my friends on google chat.
I can't access my Email.
I can't buy stuff for cheaper online, I can't even compare prices.
I can't look up words, or historical events, or people, or quotes, or movies.
or anything really.
I hear about something interesting and want to know more about - and I can't!
my knowledge level stays the same, aka unsatiated.
it's a stupefying experience (pun intended).
And to all those commie hippies that think that the internet is of the devil and that I would ever actually enjoyed my forced exile *sputter!*
let me tell you, at no point - what so ever - did I find myself enjoying my "lack of technology".
I did not find myself more calm, I did not find myself more happy or communicative or "free".
as far as I'm concerned, going without internet is as wholesome and freeing as going without penicillin.
Modern. Technology. Rocks.
