This weekend has been total insanity. So many things have gone wrong/wacky:

• Turns out there was worse damage to the hard drive than I assumed. The Geek Squad guy said the noises it was making meant the drive itself was screwed up. Since it would probably cost a lot to have the drive physically removed and data recovered no matter where I took it, I just did an exchange for a new drive, but of course this means downloading everything all... over... again... again. But this time, the drive is staying in a stable place, and not on the end of my laptop table.
• One of my new Doctor Who DVDs had some glitching issues, so I had to exchange that. New one works (thankfully), but when I watched a disc from another DVD, that glitched too, and badly. Looks like there's a big physical flaw in the disc itself, so I'm going to have to do another exchange this week.
• My Audacity program was acting up when we were doing the podcast last night, so I had to perform a recovery operation.

So yeah, I'm tired of everything going wrong. I'd appreciate it if karma would let up on me a little. >>;
