Well, today started out with every intention of being a second bum day in a row. I had no desire/nor reason to leave the house at all (minus walking the dog, but that doesn't count). Everything was great. I woke up at noon, took the dog out, then got set up to sit on my couch aaaallll day and catch up on Burn Notice! Had my Macbook, my iPad, the iPhone, my Bose headphones, my book, Tales of the Bounty Hunters, a cup of root beer, bottle of water, and my drugs... everything I needed to complete my day! Until...I turned on my computer, and all the images were turning purplish toned, as if I was looking at the negatives, or they were really really over exposed, if that's the right word... CRAP! But it was only the big images, like if I looked at a specific picture on Facebook, or if I website was loading, instead of the URL box highlighting in the normal blue as it loads, it was loading and highlighting in yellow. Not right! The little info box that pops up when you hover over something and it's supposed to tell you what it does, is usually yellow, well mine was magenta. So, oohing was right color wise on my computer! UGH, there goes my bum day...
Sooo, if you read my previous blogs, you will know that recently Apple replaced the logic board on my MacBook Pro for the screen randomly going black and "sleeping" and not waking when I clicked the track pad, moved the cursor, or pressed a key.. There was also a recall, so they replaced it no problem. So I called them and made an appointment at their "Genius Bar".
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Apple. I would never ever even consider buying anything from anyone else other than them. I've never had a problem with them. Their customer service is excellent! I'm never hassled, and this is the first major issue I've ever had in like 15 years of owning Apple products.
So I brought it in and they ran some tests and the want to run some overnight tests and diagnostics, and eventually they want to wipe the drive and see if there is a software error. So, I haven't backed up my computer to an external since June of 09, I figured it's probably time for that to happen. So, my computer has been in the den transferring all its files onto my xternal HD for hours! Damn I have a lotta stuff! Once I get that baby backed up, I'll bring it to Apple and leave it there for a day or two, and hopefully she'll come back as good as new! Maybe a shit ton faster bc I'll only put on things I want on there and don't need so I won't take up so much damn space!
So, I didn't get home til like 4, and my day wasn't so much a bum day after that, my dad and I stopped for food, so I didn't get to nap like I had planned
. Maybe I can tomorrow? Tho I do have to drop the computer off at some point tomorrow...maybe I can get my ad to do it! after all, he IS going out!
Wish me luck my computer actually gets fixed tomorrow! And a huge bum day of watching Netflix alllll day, probably White Collar.. Or if there happens to be good episodes of either NCIS or SVU on USA, we'll see!
Nighty all!
