Everything I own is Broken!!!

Well, my refurbished Dell laptop stopped taking a charge the other day. I checked the power supply with a voltmeter and that was working. So today I went downtown to try and get a new battery. Nobody had one and that turned out to be a good thing. Because when I got back I found a letter from Dell informing me that my Gold Service package would be ending in October and that I should renew it. I was unaware that I had such a deal so I went online and got the number for for Dell service. After going through a few tests with the guy online, he determined that what was wrong was the motherboard, which needs replacing. The guy is supposed to be by tomorrow sometime in the narrow window between 9:30 and 5:30. Oh well.

Anyway, after this I decided to get a bike ride in. So I hopped on my bike and went down West River Driver. On the way I started hearing a 'thwip thwip thwip' sound , after much looking around I figured out that my back tire was somehow out of true and rubbing the brake pad. *sigh*. I took the bike to the shop and it seems that one of the spokes has come loose. They first told me that I would have my bike fixed by WEDNESDAY, but when I said that I would take to another store they said they would have it done by late tomorrow. I'm not too pleased with their attitude and I think I will not be using them for bike repairs anymore.

When I got home this evening I thought I would play a little XBOX. I turned on my system and was greeted with a scrambled title screen. Resetting resulted in what is known as the Red Ring of Death! Such fun. Resetting twice had the same result. But I checked online and followed the troubleshooting instructions listed (which said in essence 'Turn off and walk away for a minute') and it started properly. But I have but to wonder if the things lifeclock is clicking.

*sigh*
