Poop.
For a while now, my laptop has had the habit on shutting off for no reason during important tasks - writing a post, doing some coding, downloading pornography...
Wait. What?
There are a few reasons it does this, I think. For a start, I've opened and closed the thing so many times that the screen is falling apart and the wires beneath are tetchy.
Not helping is the switch from UK electricity to US electricity, without any change in the power adapter used - leading to les electricities blipties(as the French call them. Yes they do.)
The transformer has now completely given out, and my laptop is now out of power and will not turn on. I've ordered a new cable which should be here in a few days. Until then, I can't finish the projects I have on there(two songs, another video and a short story) and I'm using a friend's PC to write this post. Man Windows sucks, as does the QWERTY keyboard.
Jim would say that this is nature's way of telling me not to spend so much time on the computer. Me? I think it's nature's way of telling me to break into an Apple store and steal a MacBook Pro.
Of course, stealing is wrong, kids. Especially from big, faceless companies that wouldn't be hurt one bit by the loss of one laptop.

5 reasons all moths should be exterminated.
- They suck
- They don’t do anything
- They can’t even fly properly
- When they do fly, they choose to fly directly into your face
- Who in the whole world doesn’t think they suck?
As you can see, I’m not a fan of moths. They terrify me. Butterflies too, being perfectly honest, but I know that butterflies play an essential role in ecology whereas moths do not. The moths of the world are extremely expendable.
There were a bunch of moths in Jim’s house last night. Luckily, Jim owns an excellent fly swat. An electrically charged fly swat. This thing is awesome - hit the button, hear the high-pitched hum, smack a moth and watch it fall out of the air, paralyzed. You can then take it outside to flutter away harmlessly.
Or you can hold the electric grill to it’s body and keep hitting the button, watching the f*cker burn. In theory.
