My poor Regine !

DSC00162

I had meant to stay in today. I was waiting for my credit card to arrive. It hasn’t.

Anyway, I was sitting down, in my room. Drinking tea. I went to put my cardigan on. I keep a Black cardigan, by my chair. In case it gets cold, or I have to answer the door.

The sleeve of my cardigan, knocked over my tea.

I moved quickly, I turned off my pc, and put it upside down. I tried to dry it out, I blasted it with compressed air.

No joy

Poor Regine shrieked. Her keys were not responding. Save only to type nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn or sssssssssssssssssssssssss

I spent till 5, waiting for my credit card. No one came.

I went out to the computer store. They confirmed my worst fears. Regine’s mother board was gone. She could be fixed, but it would not be worth it.

I got my last computer in 2006

I remember watching

Just after I got it

The cd drive never worked. I had taken it across Germany. To Chicago and Charlotte. I retrieved my files, and left my old friend in peace.

Today was an awful day

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Image
Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
