...and wanted to get a new power adapter for my backup-containing hard drive, but again no luck. Noit that tragic - there's still eBay. And I'm now the owner of an emergency- and travel-laptop. Nice, I got that one off the wishlist sooner than I had expected. Probably because I'm currently having a computer emergency. And because it's not too long until my birthday and Christmas, my mom paid 300€ of the price. So now I owe her 255€, that she'll probably get back next year, after our Edinburgh vacation and - if it does happen - the 20th anniversary Muse gig.

Speaking of the Edinburg vacation and Muse: My sister doesn't plan to go to Australia for a year anymore and so she doesn't have to save up money anymore. So now she can accompany us (for the first time) on the Edinburgh vacation! And she's up for the Muse gig too! \o/
