Looming Gloom

All my babies are going to die. :(

I think it first started with my 1st generation iPod Shuffle. It started acting wacky just when my brother bought me the 2nd gen iPod Nano. It had this annoying habit of skipping to the next song before the current one finished playing. Now that I think about it, it actually got worse before I got my hands on my Nano. It had completely died at one point. Or at least it slipped into a coma. It wasn't until long after my honeymoon with the Nano ended that Apple released a reset utility for the Shuffle that gave me my baby back. He was resurrected. But he was never the same again.

And of course things with my Nano haven't been perfect either... he started to slip away too. It's mostly a freezing issue, though it happens a lot more than one would normally expect. Luckily I was gifted the iPod Touch before I saw the worst of the Nano's illness. So far everything's great with the Touch... our relationship's still young and so is he. But it'll happen. Things will begin to decay. I know this, but it's always shocking because you never know when it'll happen.

My Nintendo Wii went on the fritz a week or two ago. Just outta blue. There were no signs, it just happened. One day it was working and then it wasn't. My heart sorta skipped a beat when I first realized that the little LED power indicator was dead. I hoped that it was just the LED that died but I kept pressing the power button and nothing. There's still nothing. Again, I hope it's the adapter. It'd be the shittiest luck if the internals got fried. This house isn't the friendliest toward electronics. It's the current, the electricity, it's so shoddy. I had a feeling that that might be the cause but I began to doubt that more and more. I might not know what happened... I just have to deal. These things happen. Now I have to see if there's anything I can do. Now it's time for the paperwork, the aftermath. I hate the paperwork. But I want my baby back. I don't think it's the end just yet but I know it's not going to be easy to get started again. I guess it never is. *sigh*
