Update!

Ok, so the doctors appointment with the Mac Genius did not end well. I walked out of the store feeling like I was going to be bursting into tears! It was so awful! They can't pop out the little metal piece because it's in an enclosed box with no back access. Therefor, I have to replace the entire soundboard. This is going to cost me either $700 in store, or $3oo if I mail it to Apple and wait for them to fix it and mail it back.

They told me to try calling Macdocs or another third party Apple repair shop, because they can make use of used parts instead of putting in new ones, so it should be cheaper. I called Macdocs, and they can't even give me a quote on how much it will be because it's $75 just for the diagnosis and the first hour of service. That bites. So for now, I'm soundless, as I cannot afford to get it fixed. I'm going to let Matt try getting it out with superglue and a toothpick. If it fails, I'm still in the same boat I was in before.

On another note, after all of that bad-day-stuff, Josh and I made our way to SLC for dinner and to try and catch the Star Trek movie since I had a pass for the early showing. However we weren't nearly early enough, so their was a very slim chance we'd get a seat, so we decided just to go wander around.

I took him by this house in SLC that belongs to Kristina's aunt and uncle, we're hoping that their attic apartment is a two bedroom, because they're going to be renting it soon, and it's almost perfect for us! Keep your fingers crossed!

After that we went to the gateway and did some people watching. We went into the planetarium and looked around the gift shop and stumbled across this little guy. (Look at the picture to the left) Isn't he cute? Guess what his name is! Gonorrhea. They're Giant Microbes and they're awesome! Josh got Herpes for himself, and Chlamydia for Angel! How funny is that? It totally made my day better, and even ended with us getting Slurpees on our way home!

Anywho, I'm determined to stop feeling blue about the damn computer and get out of the house today. I really want to go hiking, but haven't heard back from my friend that I invited to go. So for now, I'm going to go look at apartments with Matt, because he wants to move out next week.

Have a brilliant day friends!
