Introducing my new love-hate relationship

So, as has been established in a previous post, my precious beloved Sony Vaio (whom I first called my baby in this post) is history. Gone buh-bye. The data, however, could be saved which is a plus, obviously - but not having my Vaio here with me, it sucks big time.

I bought a Toshiba Satellite simply because they had it on a sale. It came with a 320GB hard drive (in addition to my old 120GB now external hard drive), more than 2GB RAM, Intel® Pentium® Dual Core™, a 15,4″ TruBrite® shiny screen, Windows Vista, all sorts of fancy things that I don’t know enough about to ensure that they are, in fact, useful and awesome, and of course built-in wireless internet access - and well, no MS Office as is to be expected these days but a bunch of other annoying software that no sane person could ever need.

Oh, and also? It is really, really ugly. Not truly ugly; I mean granted my eyes don’t start to burn or flip backward or anything. But it’s your typical business, black and silver, awkward run of the mill design (if design is what you really wanna call it) and so this new laptop has absolutely nothing to do with its predeccesor. Because that Vaio - oh boy. It was white and soft and smooth and so perfect and pretty that I cradled it in my arms before I it went to sleep each night.

But they only wanted 499 euros ($730) for the Toshiba which is an amazing deal around here and as far as I can tell it is equipped excellently so who am I to decide to buy one of the new Vaios (although, oh my God, how can they look so beautiful?) when, truth be told, I don’t actually have a dime to spend on random crap like new laptops.

So now I guess I’m adjusting, is what I’m doing.

I keep stumbling across websites that ask for my username and password because my original Firefox had of course stored them for me and now I’m all like, wait a minute when did I ever have to register here? Did I actually do this?

I can’t enter said sites because, honestly, who can remember that many passwords? It’s enraging because I don’t have the same to contact every freaking website to reset my password. This blows.

There are so many university news and a rant about Germany’s public transportation to come. Some day. I want to blog about everything but it’s tiresome lately, it’s too much stuff.

Anyway, I’m off to grab some lunch. And dream of those new Vaios. Sexy beasts.
