Can't Sleep/ Song of the Day

Have you ever had one of those nights where no matter how are you try, sleep just never comes?
I'm feeling that tonight.
Maybe it's because I had Jell-o. For some reason, Jell-o makes me an insomniac. Just a theory.

Since I'm up so late (or early?) I figured I would scour the great depths of the net to find a good song of the day.

I came up with this one because I've been really feeling 'June gloom' lately, so I wanted something with a sunny disposition. I chose this little ditty.

In the Sun by She & Him

I also chose it because I love Zooey Deschanel so much it hurts. Enjoy!

New Computer

I'm back from Cape Breton! It's good to be home to the beautiful sunshiny twenty degree weather. It was sitting at about seven degrees in Port Morien the entire week with nothing but grey skies. However, nothing about that trip was grey (well, maybe just one thing.)

I took my laptop with my on my trip only to have broken it two days in. I was lugging my computer from one room to the next when I suddenly slipped. I had two choices: 1) hold on to the computer and risk hurting myself (I slipped on water, so I could have broken something) or 2) brace myself and let the computer fall. I chose the latter.

I turned on the monitor to find nothing but swooshing colours squiggling left to right, right to left. It was fried. I could see about 15% of my desktop, which was just enough for me to back up my files. Thank god! Could you imagine losing all your files? I'm terrible at backing things up, but now I have a copy of everything just in case something else ever happens.

In the end, I bought a new computer. It's an HP (I've never had one because they've always been so expensive) and I love it! My computer was almost 5 years old, which is ancient in this day and age (I don't know why, nothing was wrong with it) but it's nice to have 500GB of hard drive as opposed to my old 50GB (it will seriously make a difference with all the movies and tv shows I've been downloading lately.)

I know this was a very boring post, but I just wanted to share my frustrations of having lost something that I rely on in my every day life (if only for a week.)
