Wonder where I am?
Well, the Sunday morning surprise was my monitor giving up on me. It refuses to work, and after a couple of subtle nudges ("Work, you damn thing!NOW! *hits monitor repeatedly*), it started to, uhm, smoke and smell.
Which left me with the unpleasant situation of running five programs on my computer (including Nero to burn your HL CDs,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
enigel, but no way to turn it off.
And since this is Germany, buying a new one on a Sunday is out of the question: every shop has closed, except for the gas stations, where you can get everything from cat litter to ravioli, but not monitors, as fara as I know.
My brother was so nice to lend me his, but only for the few minutes it will take me to type this entry, check my email and ebay and then shut down the PC.
So, I guess I'll have to find money somewhere to buy a new one.
Just what I needed this month.
