Well, I've had a much better day today, that's for sure. For one thing, crazy lady didn't come into the shop.
However, something else has cropped up now. My laptop cable has broken, luckily it still charges the laptop but it looks like it's been burned through or something (it's been like that for a long time, just we've had it duct taped up) and if I catch the cable with my foot or anything, it sparks. :-| So I'm really worried it's going to conk out any minute. But it should be easy to replace it, right? WRONG. I have to get a whole frigging new charger... which costs a nice £50. It's SO frustrating because I don't even need the damn charger, it's literally just the bit of cable before the bit that plugs into the laptop, but it's not detachable at all. :-(
So I'm thinking of getting a new laptop instead but I'm not sure I can afford one. To be honest, I don't like this one much anyway. It's served me really well and I like that it has a huge screen, but I don't like that it means that it's not very portable because it's so heavy. The trackpad doesn't work so without a mouse it's useless. (not that I like the trackpad, but if I take it somewhere and forget the mouse... like I did the other day...) It gets waaaaaaay too hot after a few hours' use. And the speakers are bloody awful.
In other news, I'm going through my music to delete everything I don't like any more. There's surprisingly little, I'm going through my 'Rock N - Z' folder and so far I've deleted about 20 songs out of 550ish (it doesn't include albums) and I've only got about 30 more to go through. That said, I still have 'Rock 0 - M' (628 songs), 'Pop' (401 songs) and 'Other' (116 songs), as well as any albums I may not like any more. 4,373 songs on iTunes, there's gotta be a few! But I'm finding soooo many songs I forgot existed. Blow It Out by The Features, anyone remember it? And who knew Skillet were so good! And I forgot I used to love Diamonds And Guns by The Transplants. :-D Ahhh.
Speaking of which, I made a huge and very reminiscent playlist the other day, songs that remind me of 2001 - 2003ish. Bowling For Soup - Girl All The Bad Guys Want, Drowning Pool - Bodies, Blink 182 - All The Small Things, Green Day - Poprocks And Coke, Papa Roach - Last Resort, Marilyn Manson - Disposable Teens, Soil - Halo, Sum 41, Good Charlotte... oh, and Scooter - The Logical Song! Good times! :-D
