I can hardly wait...!

Well, just a few days until Star Wars Celebration IV in Los Angeles begins!

Hmmm...do I have everything in order? Costume...lightsaber... check!
Reservations for flight, hotel, shuttle service...check!
Badges for the convention...check!

A nicely working laptop to keep track of added events on the schedule, monitor my (over-) spending, play music, etc? Able to carry it throughout the convention to update my new blog? NO!

I've been having problems with the ol' laptop, a Dell C600 (don't laugh) and can't seem to get the battery to charge, it's like it's totally dead even though it shows it's charging...so, I upgraded to Windows XP from Windows 98 (haha!) and bought a new power cord, to no avail, battery just won't charge!

NOOOOOOO!

Probably will buy a new battery tomorrow, but that's 60.00 less I'll have to spend next week, eek! I REALLY need that 60.00 limited edition SW Wookiee Ceramic Hair Straightener!
