2003-07-26 - 9:45 p.m. technical difficulties... About 2 weeks ago, my power adapter on my new iBook gave out. Given all the crap goin' on around here, I didn't have the patience to trek to the MAC affiliate shop south of market to have them look at it. I was additionally to lazy to call and wait on hold to talk to the apple care folks. Call me LAZY 'cuz I am, indeed, that. I finally called the Apple folks today, and they are shipping me a new adapter to try out to see if that fixes the problem...it should be here in 5-7 working days, which is a long time from now, actually. And if that doesn't work, I'll have to ship the whole damn laptop to them for fixing. Grrrr. This lack of a laptop has vastly cut down on my Web browsing/posting, and writing in general. If I can't sit in bed or on my sofa to write, I don't wanna, damn it!! I used some of its last battery juice to transfer music onto my new iPod. That, rather than a trip to L.A., is my fabulous birthday present to self (a trip to L.A. needs to happen sometime soon though). It is so lovely to hear my mixes at a reasonably ear-splitting volume... Must log off now before the old iBook tha I am using to write this turns itself off again. (it did that 4 times before I could get this far.) Bon Soir. any comments?
