So. New laptop arrived. I pulled her out of the box, and named her "Baby" on account of her ITTY BITTY SIZE. She is adorable and cute in all ways.
Except one.
In that she doesn't work.
I am, as they say, less than amused. She is a Netbook. She's come equipped with a built in Web cam, and her entire purpose in life is to provide an easily portable connection to the webzorz.
She does not.
I don't know if it's because I'm on the Japanese webs or what, but what should have been as easy as "Plug in cable and surf net" has become an exercise in not throwing the damn thing across the room and screaming.
The entire point of me BUYING this laptop and having it laboriously sent to me (LOVE YOU, SMOOGIE) was so that I could have a working laptop before I came home from Christmas.
HahahaNo. I don't get this.
So now I have one laptop that will connect to the internet, but due to a fried video card, has all the graphic capibilities of a flip book. And I have one laptop that functions in all ways except it won't connect to the internet.
Oh. Also: play DVDs or Scan. Because both require me to "connect to the internet" to download the correct codec to do so.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFfffffffffffffff-
I have the depression from being in stupid Japan during Thanksgiving. Bleh.
Also: The auditions for HongKong Disney end on the 13- the day after I go home to Amurika. the Audition on the 13th? Oh yeah. That's in Hong Kong. You know. The place I actually have a conceivable hope of GETTING to.
There is an audition on the 5th that I could CONCEIVABLY get to, in Melbourne. I'm trying to convince myself that I should not do this, but it's depressing the hell out of me. Because I get the feeling that this might be the last opportunity to audition for Hong Kong Disney for quiiiiite a while. And I've decided that Hong Kong Disney would be just as acceptable as Tokyo Disney. Really, ANY Disney is acceptable, but these are the ones I have a .00001% chance of actually getting hired at. As opposed to the others, where I have NO chance.
Except Paris Disney. I have noooo interest in that. Srsly.
