ARG!

My computer hates me. It is currently paying me back for the hundreds of times that I have declined to update my computer with the software updates it offers me each time I turn it on.

I wanted to watch a movie tonight. I hiked up a steep mountain today, and I wanted to rest and relax on the couch. I had a hunch that I could rent a movie on iTunes, which it turns out was correct.

However, when I tried to rent the movie, my iTunes told me in order to rent and play it, I would have to update to the latest version of iTunes. So I said okay, and sat outside while the sun was setting with my slow, slow internet connection for the 30 minutes it took to download.

Then, when it was done and I restarted my computer, the iTunes told me I couldn’t access the iTunes store in this version without the newest version of Safari (which of course I didn’t have). So I had to download that, which took another 30 minutes.

Then, once Safari was downloaded and I went to put it on my hard drive to access it, I was informed by my stupid computer that I needed the newest Security Update in order to be allowed to use this new version of Safari. This download is currently in process (estimated at 40 minutes), my butt is numb, it is cold and dark, and once this is finished, who knows how long it will take to download the gosh-darn movie . . . ARG!

I’m beginning to get the impression a movie was not meant to be.
