geek squad & holy crap!

I finished the French pieces! The last pencil marking hit paper last Saturday and I drove home listening to some salsa music that, for some reason, I can't remember. I was so happy that, had it been spring, I might have rolled the window down.

Unfortunately fate struck, my Finale program began to malfunction and I couldn't open anything. So, with an approaching deadline and 2 movements to enter into the computer, my laptop sits at the local Geek Squad HQ waiting to be fixed.




















It's unbelievably frustrating. I had no idea how much I relied on that damn thing. Oh well. Hopefully I'll come out of it not having to buy another computer because, frankly, I'm probably due for one.

In other news, did anyone see this article? It's titled Man killed by 'exploding mobile phone.' Is that really possible?

According to the local Chinese daily Shin Min Daily News, the accident happened on January 30 at 7.30p.m. An employee at the shop told Chinese media that she heard a loud bang and saw her colleague lying on the floor of the shop in a pool of blood. The employee said the victim had recently changed the battery in his mobile phone.

I don't mean anybody any harm and I'm not trying to dance on this poor man's grave or anything but could we possibly pinpoint the make and model of this thing? Changing a battery can possibly cause your cell phone to blow up? Seriously. Someone's life could hang in the balance.















p.s. I have no idea who this guy is but it looks like he's trying to call in an air strike on Cool. Yea for the 1980s.
