Here lately, it would seem that every time I take one step forward I get knocked back two steps. Money has been a bit tight, but hey, I got the car fixed now. I can really get cracking once again so what can possibly go wrong?

I forgot, if you ask the world to throw you a curve ball it will. I’m not asking for Westgate reservations or anything, all I ask is that my computer operate and function correctly. Is that really too much to ask? Apparently it is. It seemed to be working fine earlier today, it got sluggish towards the end, but then it had been on and running for over twelve hours and I had a lot of applications up and running throughout the course. I honestly suspected nothing. So after watching the memorial service for Michael Jackson I did a few more things online then shut down the laptop and went to bed.

After a nice nap, I did some chores, grabbed a bite to eat and did some reading. I grabbed my laptop and turned it on, it started about normal (if a little slow) then after I entered my password it gave me The Blue Screen of Death. It warned that there was a problem and it was shutting down and restarting to protect from loss of data, then it flashed off and the computer rebooted. I spent hours trying to get past the login screen, nothing doing. Safe mode, normal windows, safe mode with command prompt, safe mode with networking – nothing. I eventually handed the laptop over to my mom. Unfortunately, she’s more comfortable with the older OS’ and not Vista. Using what she knew she couldn’t find the problem and solve it either.

So tomorrow my laptop is going to a specialist to get checked over. I sincerely hope they can fix it without having to restore it. I’ll loose a shitload of files that didn’t get backed up if they do that.
