Suki Blue

Internet connection went down last night, just as I opened my LJ. FAIL!

Computer chugging like Thomas the Tank Engine's asthmatic, backwards cousin Salma the Scrapheap. FAIL!

Brand new hardcore motherfucker computer ordered and finance arranged. WINWINWINWINWINWINWINWINWIN!

Wow, soon, I might actually be able to use LJ for over an hour without the page freezing. I'll be able to use more than two applications at once! My monitor and dining room window need never feel threatened again. In fact, be gone to the side of the room lousy 15" screen, and helloooooo sexy 22" love god!

You know how your computer has a default media player? Like, Windows Media Player or VLC player or whatever. How do I change it? I had it on on VLC (I like the pretty orange traffic cones) and somehow managed to change it to stupid Winamp. I can't seem to get it back.

The Good

I just booked tickets to the see the Doctor Who Exhibition at Earls Court. My friend R agreed to come with me. She does like DW, but hasn't seen S4 and I suspect she would have accompanied me even if I'd suggested a guided tour around a sewerage plant if it meant I was happy. She's just that sort of friend.


The Bad

I'm not sure, but I think one of my cats is unwell. She's not her normal meowy, bright-eyed, getting-under-my-feet-and-tripping-me-self. And I think she's thinner (it's hard to tell under all that fluff). I suspect it's the new food I bought which either only one of my two cats is eating or both cats are only nibbling at, and as Belanna is the only one looking all floppy, I'm assuming it's just her. I've bought some yummy Salmon in Jelly today and while she did initially dive at it, she only ate a few mouthfuls, and later she ate two cheesy pockets.

And then I discovered Popcorn has a limp. I've examined him and he doesn't seem to be in pain and there are no marks. It's possible he's having me on. The dog does that sometimes. Both cats are getting on a bit now (12 and 13) so maybe this is just old age?


The Fugly

Play.com are wankers. If I'd known about their 3 week policy I wouldn't have ordered my laptop from them. You're not allowed to contact them to chase delivery for three weeks after posting and not a day before. It's been three weeks today yet still the website won't let me quiere until the day after the 21st day. Pardon my language, but fucking arseholes.

It's a worry, you know? They've got my £450 and I've got sod all. I can't email them and the tracking number they provided means sweet FA. I've even emailed Royal Mail and heard nothing. I'm so beyond angry now.
