mmm holidays

Of course,
My dvd drive is dead and needs a trip into the repair man. The earthquake may have just jostled the plug from the motherboard, but there's too much metal in the way for me to see & I'd rather let someone else pull it to pieces to check that. It doesn't help that the water cooler keeps the open side attached so its not as easy to manipulate. Perhaps it should be attached to the back instead. I can't play sims right now because it needs a disk to be in the drive, or install bejewelled for mindles hours of fun. I can play LOTRO though, at least till my brother turns up. He should be here now, but the plane was late so he missed his connection. Instead of a 2 hour flight here (or less) from Brisbane, he now has a flight that goes to Canberra, then another that goes to Cairns and a third that comes back to us. Six hours - Madness!
