Outraged

Since arriving here in sunny Dunedin (yes, that's a joke), I haven't had much need for being in a bad mood. However, I had one today. Computers are the devil. I have two reasons for this: Snood and blog viruses.

Do you all remember Snood? It was all the rage freshman year and then everyone just stopped playing it. Seeing as how my computers usually had a shelf life of two months (see? they've always hated me) so I never redownloaded this seemingly good game. I remembered it a few weeks ago and sought it out, however, and was loving it. It had, like it always had, cute reminders to register the game which costs money. After 100 games, it refused to let me play the ever-loved evil level. You have to buy the game to play it now!! This is the thanks Snood gives me? I refreshed memories of tons of friends who then proceeded to download it as well. I am a freaking Snood PR guru. I even considered not mentioning their name here because I didn't want to advertise for them for free anymore. Clearly, I kinda fell through on that zeal.

Then, I decided to look at other people's blogs for some good ideas and just to kill time I should spend reading educational research. I used the icon at the top that says "next blog". Firstly, just because I am in not-America, every blog it puts up is in some foreign language. Sweet. Secondly, I clicked that ill-fated button and the computer (I kid you not) started laughing at me and saying, "Haha, you have a virus!" Okay, so maybe it was a programme of the virus, but the sentiment was still there. Thankfully, since my last virus situation, I got top line virus protection which swooped and fixed my computer before any damage could be done. Still. I trusted you blogger!

I may start writing real letters and sending them all to you instead of using technology, but I rather predict another falling through in the zeal department. Instead, I'll just complain. :)
