Wasilla calling

It's been awhile since I've been able to get on my computer. On Saturday, I plugged in my Ipod to charge it and I swear, my computer crashed and burned. I plugged it in because I figured it ran out of juice, but 5 days later the computer would still not turn on. Fearing the worse, I took my laptop down to Best Buy so the Geek Squad could take a look. And of course, as soon as he plugged it in, the computer started right up. But, he said the issue was with the plug in in the back. Something about the cord wont stay in anymore and I had to wiggle it around in order for it to connect. He then went on to say that in order to fix the problem, they would have to fix the entire motherboard (?) and it would be more worth it for me to buy a new laptop. Just what I want to do right now ;(

I have to admit, I am fascinated to watch Sarah Palin's speech tonight at the Republican National Convention. Does that mean I will consider voting McCain/Palin? Sure! She just needs to change her position on abortion, gun ownership, gay rights and polar bears. Oh, and switch to the Democrat side. Is that too much to ask for? Still, I don't want her to fall on her face tonight. It could set back women for years on the political scene as the parties try to avoid another Sarah Palin. I don't want that. This is a huge step forward.

So Sarah, go out there and give a great speech. Just not one that will sway the fence voters to your side.
