The end of civilization

I always thought the worst thing that could happen is losing internet connection. You know: coming home after work, putting on the computer, opening the browser, and not getting anywhere! What is a computer worth without internet anymore? Seriously, it's like a lame kitten (maybe cute, but very sad to look at).

So, what could be worse than a computer without internet? Being without a computer, of course! And that's exactly what I got.

Wednesday evening was like any other, and I was casually browsing the internet and chatting with friends like I always do after work. Suddenly the screen goes all hippie-acid-trip-colors on me, and I'm like "wtf?" Well, I don't panic, I just turn off my computer to boot it, but what's this? The computer doesn't turn on anymore! The damned thing doesn't turn on anymore!! Curses! Curses!

Well, there's no drama to it. On Friday I took the computer for maintenance (I still had plenty of warranty to go) and left it there. As I sign the papers, they let me know it'll take about 5-10 days to get it back. This means my weekend was without a computer.

So, I watched TV instead! How creative! I watched a ton of movies and I learned fascinating things from Discovery Channel, like about how the Great Wall of China was built.

The movies I watched this weekend:
1. Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark
2. Indiana Jones: The Temple of Doom
3. Jadesoturi
4. Appleseed
5. Patlabor the movie
6. Patlabor 2 the movie
7. Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade
8. Lady in the Water

Sad. Isn't it?

I went to sleep Friday evening, I woke up, watched some movies, and it was Monday morning. That's how my weekend was.

Anyways, I hope my laptop gets fixed soon enough and there are no big problems that would, for example, require them removing my hard disk. I have a lot of stuff on my HD, and it would be a totally up-in-the-arse job to find and download all the stuff away - and to rip all my CD's again.
