First, let me say that my 1.5 year old G2420HD BENQ monitor “failed” Thursday night. I can turn it on, but it stays on one moment, and the shuts off. I talked to BENQ and it’s under warranty. But so much hassle to send it (I threw out the packaging) and I have to find the old receipt which I’m not sure I have. I think I need to do a better job keeping receipts. Anyways, I know it’s a capacitor issue. I’m going to try to fix it myself. I bought a soldering…gun…thing. Need to research/buy some correct capacitors and solder them on. Never done anything like that before but I want to learn!
I spent my Friday night going to Harlem Underground, follow by Mavrik to see a friend off. Was able to have an interesting conversation with a couple of my friends about being an elistist, introvert/extrovert and social skills and other things. Good conversation. Had to bail early, ended up sleeping around 11:30pm.
Woke up 7:30am to drive to the US. Got to the US at 9:30ish, went shopping a bit and ate at the Cheesecake Factory. Got 3 appetizers: Deep Fried Mac and Cheese balls, Chips with Ahi Tuna and Avacado, and Crispy Crab Cake. Z got some pasta and I got a pork chop with mashed potatoes and spinach. Man, the mashed was buttery and Z’s pasta was salty. ‘MURRICA. Got some shoes and 2 shorts from the Nike Factory Outlet, was able to get a Spring Jacket, and spent $118 in junk food at Walmart. Drove back to Toronto, picked up my Squash Racket from my parents place in Richmond Hill, got some BBT and headed home. Crazy long day but handled it well. Got home a little after 8:00 I think..so a 12+ hour day, I drove probably about 6 of them and walked around about 3 of them :S Slept at 11:30pm…
and woke up around 12 on Sunday. 12 hours of sleep, but I needed it! Went on a “dwarf hamster” run, visiting 3+ petsmarts in Toronto. Went to the Richmond Hill Central library to read a bit, and then to Tim Hortons to read a bit more. And then I started blogging which leads me to right now! Using my macbook <3 It’s finally getting some love…I don’t use it too much but I’m glad I started reading books online with it. Maybe I don’t need a tablet after all? I don’t know…. Off to reads more….or maybe blog more…
