Sorry for falling off the face of the earth, everyone. Last week was due to school and sickness.

AND MY COMPUTER MET AN UNTIMELY DEMISE WHILE DOWNLOADING GUNDAM SUNDAY NIGHT.

At the end of every week, I transfer any new material on my comp. to my external, and while I was doing, this my laptop's battery decided to totally die. (at 86% mind you). So IT DIED. AND MY EXTERNAL DIED because it was interrupted during a transfer and the computer had shut down, ejecting it incorrectly. So every time I plugged it into a computer, it wouldn't show up on the dock or acknowledge it at all.

I was actually more freaked out about that because it has everything on it. My computer is very small (50G), so there are a lot of things on the external that aren't on the computer. It wasn't even really a backup.

I called my sister's fiance up screaming hysterically and he came over Sunday night and did all kinds of crazy-computer things and somehow recovered the files from my hard drive. So that works, though it's very sloooow. He also brought me a 300G external that he had just sitting around (he works with computers), and he said I could have it to be a real backup, now with everything in at least 2 places. My sister also sent over her old Macbook so I could at least do my homework for the week until mine got fixed.

As it stands, my laptop IS now functioning again, but it needs to be plugged in at all times because the battery gauge says whatever it wants and the thing lasts maybe 4 minutes now. And I'm kind of afraid to use it. I'm taking it to the MAC DOCTORS!!! Friday to have them look at it. John said it's probably just the battery, but I should have someone examine it anyway because it does like to shut off randomly, even with a supposedly high battery (and if it's just the gauge that's screwed up, well, they have to fix that, too).

I'M SURE THAT WAS ALL VERY EXCITING FOR YOU. But yea. I missed the new Gundam. Because when I was downloading it, it ate my computer. I have to find a new place to download the file because I'm afraid that somehow had something to do with it.

Be back regularly when everything is more stable. Hopefully this weekend, but if I have to send my computer away, it may be another week. ._.
