iAbstinence part 1

Hello, my name is Nick, and I bought a mac.

The first step on the road to recovery is to admit that you have a problem, right?  Look, before you applephiliacs get all out of sorts I should tell you that it hasn’t worked right from the get-go.  It crashed the first day I had it!  And don’t ask me whether it was a “black screen” or a “beachball”, I don’t give a shit.  It’s broken, and the extra $500 I spent on it instead of a PC absolves me of any responsibility for what happened or how to fix it.  ALSO, if I hear one more dipshit in Hollister jeans and puberty stubble tell me “well it shouldn’t do that, it’s and Apple”, I will follow them home and destroy everything they love.  It DID do that, idiot, saying that it “shouldn’t” doesn’t magically make it a better computer, it’s STILL FUCKING BROKEN!!!!!

…and where does all of this leave me?

This is now the third time I’ve had to enter the Den of Evil (yes, that’s a Diablo II reference), so I know that they keep their nerds in the back.  Off I went, I was on a mission, get in, drop computer off, get out… and so I did.  Now all I have to do is wait four days for them to put a new “logic board” in (for those of you don’t speak Apple, the logic board is the motherboard, just the motherboard).

Easy right?

WRONG!!!!!!!  My laptop is my music player, dvd player, window to the internet, memory, email machine, photoshop fun box, you know… all that shit, and it was just after 7:00pm, so what the hell was I going to do for the next 6-7 hours?  The saga begins:

7:15- drive to DC because I’m pretty close and I hear their prices on booze are better.

7:30- leave the liquor store with a smile

7:50- get home and take a shower

8:15- poor a glass of scotch and start practicing violin

9:32- jacob comes over, YEAY

12:00- jacob leaves, BOOOOO

12:10- read (that’s code for searching through words to find pictures)

1:15- remember that I can still plug my iPod into my speakers

1:20- listen to Mogwai till i fall asleep

Alright, one day down, three to go, I CAN DO THIS!!!

    Yay new post! I think you should chronicle your Apple store shit fits! People who work there are all drinking the Kool-Aid!

    Nothing but love to Russian fans, but how are us lower non-Russian speakers supposed to know what they’re commenting about? I feel a bit discriminated against…does this mean I get private translations?

    eh, it’s mostly just people telling me how great i am, women throwing their iPanties at me, and parents naming their first born children in my honor. nothing too out of the ordinary.

    I can’t name my first born after you, you know how great I think you are, so I guess all that leaves is the panty throwing….wanna guess what color they are?
