i'm getting a new computer.

ugh. haven't completely lost hope in retrieving my files from my severely damaged old hard drive, but my parents insist on getting a new computer anyway because the old one was just crap. but see, i distinctly remember them saying that the old computer, when it was new, was great and was so much better than my old old computer and would never crash like that one did. flash forward a year and a half. hmph. so now i'm a bit wary of getting a new computer. obviously, i need it since the old computer is dead, but still. what's to say the new one won't crash in like a year. i'm getting sick of computers just dying on me. it's like when i was little and every time we got a new dog, it would just run away. is there something fundamentally wrong with me that both dogs and computers refuse to cooperate with me?

ooh, the boys' mother is here. hold on. all right, back. i'm getting better at hoisting duy, the three-year-old, into his mother's suv. the first few times i did it, i would always bump his head on the roof by accident. oops. la la la... anyway, dinner now. then it's off to get the new computer. urrrr...
