agilebritBehold my mad laptop-cooler-repairing skilz, y'all. The power source for the thing was loose and finally caused it to die completely, so I opened it up (which was an adventure in and of itself...WHY does it need eight screws to hold it together, all of which are hidden under little rubber things or the big label?), readjusted the pluggy thing, and screwed it back together. And now it's running like a champ.
So there's fifteen bucks I don't have to spend on a new one. Considering the fact that my poor little laptop dies at the hint of overheating, an external cooler is a must for it.
In other news, my Steelers lost today. *cries* Not only that, but the NASCAR race got rained out and they swapped over to ESPN for it, because of network constraints. Boooo.
However, during the NASCAR race, we got to see some ads for a new show called "Pushing Daisies," which looks...funny and weird just my cup of tea. Will have to check it out. I'm still a little up in the air about "Moonlight," mainly because Jason Dohring's character is made of win. If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't watch it again. The opening sequence all by itself fails on many levels, and the fact that Nick's injecting blood (EWW. No needles, kthx?) raised my WTF-o-meter nearly off the charts. They might have thought "Hey, this is different," but different does not always = better, guys. Especially when you're ripping off every other vampire private eye out there. We're not going to forgive you for all that if you have one thing that's a little "edgy."
And I just missed out on an eBay auction because they thought I wasn't signed in. CRAP. Oh well. There will be another.
