07.15.08living monochromatic and macbook charging
L
ife lately seems to have been incredibly monochromatic, lacking in colour and quite frankly rather dull. I like my life to be colourful and interesting with lots to see and do. Instead these past few weeks since finishing college have mostly just been day after day of intense boredom with nothing at all to do not helped by the fact that not a day goes by where I don’t think of how much I want to be back in Tokyo, and everything seems to remind me of when I was there.
I think I’m in need of a night out to be honest. I haven’t been out in months mostly due to lack of money, as well as having far to much college work that was due but obviously all done and dusted now but the lack of going out is really starting to have an effect on me, and the lack of money hasn’t improved. In a perfect world I would be being paid right not to shoot photographs and I’d be busy every day, but as I’ve mentioned before it’s about who you know and not what you know a lot of the time and I’m not meeting many people sitting in the house because I can’t afford to go anywhere. So it’s a bit of a never ending circle really, and the job hunt continues.
And just like life things seem to happen at the worst of times, when I have little money at all my macbook charger has broken so I’m forced to use my old ibook. I mean really though, what are the lifes of these things, It’s almost like apple make them deliberately to give up the ghost after a year along with their batteries. I would like to know however how i have managed to go through three batteries and four chargers over two computers in the space of three years. It’s almost like they design their chargers for the wires to fry when you have the least amount of money so you have to sit and wiggle them frustratingly until they say charging then sit holding it in that spot for an hour until you’ve got enough charge to use the machine it’s a very silly ordeal. You can always see it coming though, when your charger is about to go. I knew it was going to happen but it still seems to just jump out at you like a smack in the mouth, ‘POW’ you’ve got to pull out £40 you don’t have to get a new one. I’m not sure how they can justify charging so much for a charger. All of this aside I still adore macs and if I could land myself a photography job that paid me well enough I wold love to upgrade to a powerbook, but right now I can’t even afford a ‘Richard and Judy’ summer read let alone a laptop computer.
