So on Monday, I was just getting my morning started. I did my cardio in my living room, showered, changed into the clothes I would be wearing to the gym later, and got my morning shake put together. For my aminos, rather than taking pills, I threw a scoop of Monster Amino in my shaker cup...
my pop top, not screw top, shaker cup...
I snapped the top closed, started shaking it, and headed for the couch. I do not have a desk top computer, I have a cheap ass Acer Aspire. So all my web browsing happens on the couch. SO, between uses, the laptop stays open on the arm of the couch.
anyway
Right as I sat down, I was about to drink my shake when I realized that it was kind of clumpy, and not well mixed. I gave it a few good shakes and
BOOM
The top blew off the shaker cup and covered me in blue, sticky water. My dryer fresh clothes are now blue and wet. The floor in front of and beside my couch is blue. My couch cushions on either side of me and between my legs are blue and wet. I am sitting still, not moving, in a state of "what the fvck just happened". I finally get up and strip down. I used my ruined clothes to clean up the floor. I take the clothes to the laundry room and just as I am coming back to the living room, I notice my feet sticking to the floor. I now have sticky floors. I walk over to the couch and decide that I have to stop in the AR lounge and tell everyone not to shake Monster Amino when I realize my computer is off. It is also covered in blue stickiness.
I try to restart the computer, but it won't work. I spend the next few hours taking my computer apart, cleaning every piece, and putting it back together. It will now turn on, but it will not produce an image.
So I have been cut off from the outside world since monday morning.
Tonight, I went to walmart. As soon as it was midnight, and my paycheck was deposited, I bought a new Dell.
So, I am finally back, urging my AR friends to double check if the product they are about to use is able to be shaken, or if it is "stir only".
Thankyou Monster Amino, you owe me a computer.
p.s.
Did I mention that the money I spent on this computer was supposed to go towards the deposit on a new house?
