So earlier today, in a bid to fix what was wrong with my USB ports and find out why My Computer did not pick up the external hard drives I'm trying to access, I pulled open my CPU and started poking around. While I'm elbows deep in computer parts and a hell lot of dust, The Mother came in and asked if I want the 2" doll keychain dangling between her fingers. Below is a transcript of our conversation.
Me: No.
TM: Oh yeah! You don't like fuzzy dolls. Since young you don't like them hor.
Me: No, I like fuzzy just fine. *gestures toward my stuffed toys* I just don't like dolls.
TM: Yeah that's what I meant.
Me: *beat*
Me: ...Don't you think it's weird to be asking a person fixing the computer whether she want dolls?
TM: Nothing weird about that. *leaves the room*
Me: O_o
End scene.
The irony. It is lost on her. XD Luckily, bro was around to find it again.
Also, turns out my USB ports are working fine. It's just that the power needed to power the external hard drive was too much for this awesome 4 port Lego brick-esque USB hub already powering my printer, wireless mouse and charging the iPod Touch. Managed to find another USB cable long enough to stretch from the back of the CPU to the table top to connect with the external hard drive and all was right in the world. Still couldn't figure out why one of the front USB port could not be used though. I've never been able to use that since I first got the CPU so I guess it's an inherent thing. :S
I also managed to clean up the inside of my CPU. It was so dusty, I managed to clear out a dust ball the size of my fist. Bro was being bitchy about me dusting and cleaning in his presence, causing his sensitive drippy nose to act up. He also said (and I quote) "Yo mama will be so pleased, what with you bringing out the vacuum cleaner on your own accord", to which I reply "No she wouldn't. She'll just find something else to nitpick". But I have to say, after that round of dusting, cleaning and vacuuming, I feel so accomplished. Lol! Everything feels so clean and new and fresh! Even the speed of the computer seems to be improving!! XD
