I DONE VOIDED MY WARRANTY!!

I finally did it, after months of having a particularly nasty, sticky button on my playstation portable which I blame on Ratchet and Clank, because that's when it started, I finally worked up the courage to open the bloody thing up. It's two years old anyway. The rubber had sheared. I ordered a replacement rubber pad on Ebay. From Hong Kong, naturally. I normally have distinct Ebay FEAR, I don't know why, it always makes me nervous ordering anything on Ebay, but it came to 3 euros including shipping, so if I never get the bloody thing, so be it, right? I hate how nervous Ebay makes me.

Though not nearly as nervous as opening up a 200 euro PSP and having to peel back the warranty sticker to do so. But I did it! I'm very proud. There is actually LESS dust between the LCD screen and the faceplate now than there was before I opened it, and the last time it was opened, it was opened by the good people at Sony. I'm feeling terribly smug now.

Of course now I'm considering whether or not I should buy an all-chrome faceplate just to be gay.

Perhaps now I can finish Ratchet and Clank. Or Gitaroo Man. Actually, it might have been Gitaroo Man that did it, I was a bit fervent with that game. Gitaroo Man is Teh Aces.

groan...

There is nothing in the world worse and more tedious than trying to manoeuvre an unhelpful three-year-old into their various and assorted small items of clothing, while they refuse to let go of whatever it is they're holding, refuse to cease standing or sitting on whatever it is they're standing or sitting on and generally just act as awkwardly as they can manage. I wish there were some sort of rubber toddler gimp suit that they could just wear for a week and they needn't ever take off, not even for the bath. Perhaps I shall go about inventing such a thing. SO TIRED.
