why i hate computers.

anyone who's ever been to my house has witnessed my father's excessive computer purchasing. he likes having computers or something. he's like the stereotypical woman and her shoes. its disturbing.
anyways, as a computer addict, instead of buying a dvd player, he bought a computer to stash behind the tv. this computer has very few tasks. it stores pictures, music and plays dvds. that is all it is asked to do. and this is why i hate computers: somehow it managed to fuck that up.

see, we have had the thing for no more than 4 months. in the past month it has managed to go through 3 dvd players. it managed to break the only function we actually care about. at first we thought it was the drive itself. afer the third one, we figured that this might not be the case.

the dumbest part is that they always work at the store. in fact the latest one, that we just got back today, they had been playing movies on for 2 days. they even showed my father who can testify that only hours ago, it was working fine. the minute it enters the house, it refuse to acknoledge the presence of dvd movies. it WILL however, in the same drive, read cd-roms and dvd cds that DONT hold movies but other types of file such as music. now there is NO difference between now and maybe 7(ish) hours ago. NONE AT ALL!

COMPUTERS DONT MAKE SENSE.
this is what i have learnt. i refuse to learn more about them. they only bring more anger and pain.


grrrr....



on the plus side i saw Hitch Hiker's guide to the galaxy tonight. it i were to think of it objectively i probably wouldnt like the movie. but i just cant bring myself to dislike it. we all brought towels with us. it was brilliant.

the song was super catchy too... "song long and thanks for all the fish..."
