.:reflections of twilight:.

I think I have to take my MacBook into the Apple place (not an actual Apple store, but a place that sells and repairs Apple products) and see why it’s not connecting to the internet when everything else (including BOTH of my PC’s) are.

It started when I tried to upgrade my Firefox to the newest version. I found it wasn’t compatible to the OS system I have on my Mac (which is still Tiger). I was a wee bit cheesed at this, but since there is nothing I can do, I removed Firefox from my computer. However, when I tried to open Safari, it kept stalling. Then I tried to open my iTunes store, and I got nothing.

After checking my internet connection and finding out it works perfectly fine, I tried reopening Safari. Bubkes. So I have no idea what I might’ve done wrong to cause this little snafu, but it’s frustrating. I can’t update my iPod without being able to update my podcasts and such, which I get via the internet and the internet is being pissy about it.

I need to defrag my MacBook, but I can’t download the program I need to do it, because I have an outdated OS. As much as I would like to upgrade to Leopard (and now there’s gonna be Lion coming soon. Fabulous), I can’t because I don’t have the money to buy the upgrade. I don’t see why Apple can’t have programs for people to use who have older OS. I know they want people to upgrade, but they have to be realistic and realize not everyone can.

Plus, I need to take it in so I can have someone look at my battery. It works fine, but it’s warped for some reason and I want to find out why.

I was gonna try to move all of my music from iTunes over to my PC, but I kinda don’t wanna do that because then I’d have to reformat my iPod and I would lose some of the stuff I have on there, like some of my older podcasts.

Sometimes, I just hate computers…

Well, it's official. I am a sheep. I joined Facebook. Since so many people I know are on it, I figured, "Why not!" I already have a MySpace (which I swore never to do...), so why not something else to suck away my time! So any of you who want to friend me (and know my name), you can. I have six people on there already, more are welcome!

I have to try to get off work a little early tomorrow so I can take my MacBook and see why it wont start up. I tried doing what the instructions say, but they might as well be written in Greek or something for what it's worth. Still, I tried to no avail. So I'm gonna take it in to the local Mac specialist and see what they can do. Hopefully 1. they can salvage my laptop (I've formed quite an attachment to it, you know) and 2. it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. Wish me luck!*lights incense and says chants over Hakuryuu*

Work was a bit hectic today. I had to catch up with the stuff I missed for the past two days. In actuality it didn't take as long as I thought it would. I think I'm getting faster. Still, after having two days off, it took me a bit to get used to the ol' routine. Not that I was playing hooky or anything those last two days or anything, although I did watch me some of my Count Duckula DVD's. LOL

I tried to play some more Mario Galaxy, even to the point of starting all over again. Yet, I STILL get stuck at the friggin' Black Hole on Planet D. Once I got soooooo close. I was able to get past the Piranha Plant and onto the switches, but when I went to hop up onto the wall to turn the wall switches off... I overshot it and fell into the Black Hole again. *sobs*

I played more of my Bleach game and moved onto the Arcade Mode. First I played as Renji (and kicked ass) then I played as Ichigo. I still won, but it took me a few times to win against Hitsugaya. As soon as I saw I was up against him, I was all, "Man, I am so gonna get my ass kicked." Of course, it doesn't help matters any that he has those ice wall shield thingies he uses. Still, eventually I was able to defeat him. Hell, I had a hard enough time defeating Uryuu!

So, the Super Bowl was last night. The Giants won. I was happy. Truthfully I wasn't rooting for either team, but I kinda sided with the underdog, so I was cool with it. The commercials were great though! A few of them made me laugh out loud. We were at friends of ours' house, so that made it all the better. It was fun.
