Alas, poor Jensen, we barely knew ye

[nny]

So it is official - the death knell has sounded for my laptop. I absolutely cannot afford another, but my sister G is going to give me her mac. Apparently I have to buy something to make it go on the internet, which'll probably have to wait until after I get my loan, and I have to wait until we can sort out a way of getting it up here, but at least I'm not going to be stranded and entirely computer-less.

My documents and music have been potentially rescued, but all TV and films, games and pictures are gone. :(

Now I am in a state of certainty about it all I'm feeling disappointed but reasonably zen, which will not be swayed by the fact that the computer I was working on this morning developed some kind of fatal hard drive error. I am not cursed, dammit!

In more cheerful news, I have bought a Thermos so that I can have soup for lunch every day and save money (and eat less gluten) on lunches. I am seriously tempted to cover it with stickers; partly this is mourning the loss of my SHIELD decorated laptop.

Oh no, poor laptop!

:( laptop.

What do you need to get it to go on the internet? I've got a few spare parts from old computers lying around, although not from macs.

Oh no! It's so distressing to lose a laptop like that, especially with all your stuff on it. I hope that the potentially rescued files are actually rescued, and - I don't have a big TV collection or anything, but let me know if there's anything you think I might have and if I do I'll burn it on a DVD and send to you. It'll be quicker than other ways I think. <3

I'm very sorry to hear about your laptop. The files are the killer loss, though. In a perfect world, no one would have to go through with this kind of thing. Sorry. :(

Good luck with the Mac.
