Enough with the 'interesting times' already!

Sigh. 2011 has been leagues worse than 2010 and I really didn't think that was possible.  That alone should probably have clued me in.

So far in 2011, I dropped my older Sony Vaio (backup) laptop and broke the screen, my 6 year old Dell got a serious virus I can't get off, my newer Sony Vaio laptop died last week (it will boot only partially then turn itself off), I reluctantly bought a new laptop I couldn't afford yesterday, but it's not what I'm used to even though it's a Vaio as well (I assume it's Win 7 causing all the stability issues), the A/C in my car is going flakey and nobody can figure out why it stops working sometimes and now, today, my Sony 505 ereader died.

That recital does not include other pretty serious stuff that's going on, but it covers the technology side.  Can somebody please make it stop now, because I'm about at the end of my tether. :(

That's probably my whine for the year and I return you to your regularly scheduled programming now.  Hope life treats all of you on my friends' list a *lot* better!
