I already knew my adapter for my laptop was going to hell... probably for the same reason my glasses always have scratches in them, y'know? The part that goes into my computer has three tiny holes, and each hole has some metal - but in one of the holes, the metal was gone, so it kept coming nearly undone. Then, on top of that, for the past few days, the adapter itself would stop working until I plugged it out and in. Oh, I knew, it wasn't long for the world, and being near it was completely and totally a bad idea...

Yeah. Burnt my fingers when the wire completely burnt out and got a hole in the casing. Unplugged it, turned off my laptop, on my mom's (because I never wear down my battery if it can be helped).

I *think* that this might actually be covered under the current Dell recall, but I'm not positive because I can't make out my sticker, and don't really care that much. I need to buy a new one. I'm just going to trek the old one with me to the store to ask people who can see it what I need to replace it, but I'm wondering if anybody knows 1. how much this should cost and 2. where this will be cheapest and 3. why I am doomed, doomed, I tell you.

I'll be gone for a few hours, since my mom is using the computer. She's refusing to say anything cute for the journal. Le sigh.
