Dom sent his old mac to a repair store to have a new logic board put in it, and we were going halves on the cost of repair, for him to then give it to me as a gift. It’s a 2007 model, and it’s awesome. We were charged £460 in new parts, £80 in labour, £80 for new RAM, plus VAT and various other things. It totalled about £700 in for it to be fixed. We got it home, and two days later, it’s broken. The logic board is dead. The thing we were charged £460 to be replaced. And the professional Apple repair team had managed to totally wreck the insides of the mac, including the very basic way new RAM is inserted, when we opened it up to check why it was that it suddenly wasn’t turning on after 2 days. Genius. I smell a refund. And a lost customer.
Another exciting part of the week is that I narrowly avoided going to hospital to be treated to degree burns, when the very safe and not at all outdated cooker decided to go haywire and burn the shit out of my hand and legs in a fit of sausage frying rage. I’ve got two very unpleasant blisters on my fingers, one of which could have compromised my nail, as it is directly on the tip, and several just as unpleasant burns on my leg. Luckily, I knew exactly what to do as soon as I was burnt, and saved myself from worse happening. Plus Dom is trained in first aid so he was able to assist me and get the worse of the damage seen to instantly without having to go to hospital.
However, there have been some definite highlights to this week. We are back at Uni so I’ve handed in a load of work, only to be given new assignments to complete. I’ve been given some good feedback on my work though, which is encouraging. Also, Steph and I went on a slight shopping spree, and I’ve wound up with new shoes, new tops, new leggings, and a really obnoxious new nail colour. (:
Dom also impulse bought me a new iPod Touch… which I was absolutely shocked by, and over the moon with. It’s awesome, I’ve hardly put it down since I opened it.
Another thing, was we went to see The Avengers Assemble yesterday. If you haven’t seen it… go and see it. Now. Stop reading this, and go book a ticket. It was fricking AWESOME. It has everything cool that could ever happen in a movie, and put it all together in a two hour long epic triumph. It has explosions, aliens, spaceships, super heroes, nuclear weapons, it was funny, it has the Hulk beating people up, Scarlett Johanson in a tight black outfit, it is a Marvel film, Robert Downey Jr, Samuel L Jackson has an eyepatch in it…. I mean come on…. the shit was awesome. In every way.
Highly recommended film. Full of epic win. From start to finish. GO WATCH IT NOW.
