Technology has failed me
7/23 - Computer died, lost a lot of files, but luckily had backed up most things 2 weeks prior
7/24 - Discovered the other laptop I was about to sell on ebay got water damage from the flood, some of the keys don't work
8/19 - Lost camera and many many photos from recent traveling
9/14 - Discovered my YouTube account was deleted for copyright violation. There go my videos that weren't backed up
10/6 - Discovered my MP3 player died, which included a few non-song files I hadn't backed up

What the fuck? And I had a dream the other day that my computer died AGAIN, which it just may do. Do I lose at technology or does technology lose... at me?

The good news is I have an excuse to dish out money for a cellphone with a decent camera and mp3 player. The other bad news is that I have to dish out money for a cellphone with a decent camera and mp3 player.

DANG. That sucks, I'm sorry, dude.

I think if your computer is that unreliable, and you're having stress dreams about it, you should probably sell it and invest in a new one. Combining a cell/camera/mp3 player prolly isn't a bad idea, since a lot of phones take decent pics now.

Yeah I'd wanted one for years but I thought it was silly to dish out that much money when my cell phone, camera, and MP3 player worked fine. Although if this was going to happen I would have preferred for it to happen in the US, where electronics are much cheaper...

About the laptop, I considered selling it immediately after it fucked up in July, but I didn't get around to it because I left the country a few days after it was sent back to me. I'll probably sell it when I go back to Houston to visit in March or April (if it lasts that long :| )
