i didn't last long

I know i said I had resumed posting after the move and I did. Well i did until i dropped my laptop on the floor and broke it. I was starting to think the thing was a little to good to be true based on the number of times I've dropped it. It was a rough week though. When I first moved I learned the power cord was broken, which sucked, but i got a new one (well new to me but not new to the person I borrowed it from). It did turn out that the power cord was actually what was causing all the random problems like the battery not working etc. Which is weird if you ask me but apparently the computer did not ask me. Then it worked like well again. Well in that the battery charge and it actually turned on. then I dropped it off the top of the TV (which I was really going to pay close attention not to move while the laptop was still on it clearly didn't work out well.) There though again even the it hit the radiator on the way down to the hardwood floor it just skipped a bit of its playing of my music and kept right on keeping on.
Then on tuesday i dropped it from the coffee table and the screen shattered. Didn't really know this was possible but it turns out that it is. Now it didn't like break with glass everywhere, but the inside.. Funny part is that the damn thing still turns on and off etc. and has the potential to work if you could in anyway see what you were doing in more than the top inch or so of the screen. Well shit I was off all day wed, and I tried to go to the library, but apparently you have to wait for like six hours to use a computer, then the screen will be all gross. So I decided that wasn't going to work for me. Then on Thursday after looking for like half and hour I decided I was going to go to best buy, and buy this new laptop for 449 dollars. Seriously 449 dollars and it does way more than my last computer which was more than 449 dollars. I'm just saying its a good deal. Vista is kind of annoying to get used to but after a few days i'm getting more used to things. The laptop even has an energy star. Its very fun, and mostly you can see the screen which is way more helpful than one might think.
