Oh God the pain!!

There's a huge hole in my life...a huge gaping void. It's exactly the type of hole that a laptop would fit perfectly. A couple of days ago my harddrive died-only temporarily. I thought I was pooched and had lost all the valuable stuff that the internet allows me to download for free. Anyways I came back from work that night and the computer was working fine again! I rejoiced-it was something like a 21st century ressurection. Anyways my happiness was shortlived because I downloaded some software from the harddrive company and after running it, it told me that my harddrive was mortally wounded and one day, would go to that big harddrive heaven in the sky. This was very disconcerting considering that i had only bought it 2 months ago. Remember I said I thought the HD was making a funny noise?? Never ignore your gut feeling folks. Anyways I took it back to the store and they honoured the warranty but then they told me it was going to take one month before I got my computer back. If it wasn't for the fact that they would have no idea what i was saying I would have blown my top! ONE MONTH! One month with no laptop. How long does it take to take the harddrive out and put a new one in? Anyways my biggest fear is that I'm going to get this computer back in a months time only to find that they just tried to "fix" it rather than replace it and I'm going to have to take it back again and wait a second month.

So anyways the long and the short of it is that I won't be around too too much! My roommate has a laptop himself so I'll be checking my email every once in a while but that's about it. I might even get a life-you never know. Probably not though. I hate to say it but there's going to be a lot of reading going on over the next month in this household.
