Spoke Too Soon

You know how earlier today I posted about how I spilled water on my computer but MIRACULOUSLY things were ok?

Well. They’re not.

The keyboard is totally messed up, as is the touch pad I think. The bottom keys don’t work at all (I’m using an external keyboard right now). So now I have to go to the APPLE STORE and get a new keyboard. But that means I have to schedule an appointment with a “genius” because I think I still have Apple Care on this assbag but I’m not sure. I really really hate Macs. But I also really really hate PCs. People hear me whine about this all the time. If you can get SIXTEEN kinds of sugar from the store and all of it comes from the same stupid plant, why can’t we have 16 options for computers? Anyway this isn’t nearly as bad as the HARD DRIVE failure from a few months ago. I am backing up now. I suggest you all do the same.

So there you go. Sadness everywhere. It surrounds me. I should never ever drink water again.

In other news, RT, an old classmate who now lives in Minneapolis, is a very crafty kind of lady, in addition to being a kick-ass writer. I believe when I first met her I thought to myself, Oh my god she is totally student class president. Not the popular annoying one, but the ambitious one that wants to change things for the better and you are like oh man you are making us look bad please go away. But the she did go away, to stupid Minneapolis. God I hate her.

Anyway, as I was saying, the lady is crafty, which means she makes things with her hands. Like things involving needles and I don’t mean like shooting up or anything. She has created a bag NAMED AFTER ME! Sweet! I am going to buy it because it’s literally my bag. But for those girls who like a good tote, this is it.

    Wow, it’s even a really cool bag. Well done RT! I believe that is how the world should be changed:”One accessory at a time.”

  2. ryan from L.A.:

    my son (logan) and i were watchin a movie and he spilled a cup of water on my bands 12inch Powerbook. the video card is fried. the computer works great otherwise. it is going to cost $500+ to fix it. i’d rather put that towards a new puter.

    good luck with the fixin…..

  3. FLY:

    wow, that’s awesome!…the bag, I mean.

  4. Ian:

    wonder if she’s gonna make it a manpurse? very nice bag btw.

  5. Rhena:

    Dude, I recently had a problem with my apple screen circa 1982 and even though it wasn’t under warranty and their offer to fix it for free was over, they fixed it for me for free. So I got a new screen. Thank you apple.

    Also, DON’T buy the bag. I am going to make you one as soon as my house is painted. And yours is going to be the super Annie tote and will be fully customizable. It might even be one that transforms into a car… or a Segway Personal Transporter. (Like Gob’s.)

  6. annie:

    Ramon: It’s cute right? She’s not bad even though she is stupid for moving away from me. God I can’t stand her.

    Ryan: Ugh, that’s the worst. I put my computer on a little riser thing but somehow that does not prevent water from getting on it. You know, we should just seal our laptops in ziploc bags and use them that way.

    Fly: I know! I love it.

    RT: Dude the Apple Experience was so awful I dunno if I can even post about it I was so angry. But I did get the keyboard fixed (the warranty had expired though weak). And I WANT to buy your bag. If you are makign something and I am going ot use it, then I PAY for it. Parts and labor (just like the stupid Apple people and it’ slike hey why don’t I get the part and I do it because it doesn’t take a ‘genius’ to install a freakin keyboard oh god.) Anyway the point is, yes I want one. I am going to pay and there’s nothing you can do to stop me. also I want the top part to have some kind of closure because that is my biggest problems wiht totes. I drop it and all my shit goes everywhere. Also not enough pockets. Also i have a friend who has a store she might want to sell your warez. Intersting. OK let me think on this. Go team!

  7. FLY:

    does it have a zip at the top?

  8. JimBob:

    The Computer: FAEN.

    The Bag: You could fit a 12-pack in that bag! Nice. Do they come with an insulated lining?

  9. Renato:

    Always drink vodka. It’s keyboard friendly.

  10. Rhena:

    For you, Annie, I will put a zip at the top …. or flap with a button… or any closure you want… because you like closure and pockets. We’ll talk more. Thanks for the shout-out and thanks to those who visited my bag. It was getting lonely.

  11. FLY:

    i would buy it if it has a zip or flap at the top because then, nobody can pick-pocket me when I travel with that bag :D

  12. annie:

    Fly: RT will customize it however you want. That’s the beauty of her craftiness. I think the zipper should be like bright blue though. I like the button closure idea myself. The bag is so deep pick pocketing would be tough. They’d have to get their whole arm in there to find your wallet etc.

    Renato: How’d you get so smart?

    RT: Let me know when all the lead is removed in your home. Also I guess try not to breathe. I hear lead makes you retarded but that can be for kids only.

  13. FLY:

    oh yeah…the flap idea is better. with zip, there’s a risk of catching the inner lining and it has shorter lifespan…so, from life cycle and risk assessment point of view, flap would be better. … oh wait, i have a project management disease…thinking life cycle costing and risk analysis all the time… lol.
