Technology Sux

Last night I wanted to watch a DVD. So, I go over to the DVDR (DVD recorder/player thingy) and hit the Open/Close button. Nothing happens. I hit it again. Still nothing. So I start going through hitting every button on the remote and the box and turning the power off and on. Yet again, nothing. This is my second box. The last one I had to send in with Miracle still stuck in the damn thing. I ended up buying that movie from Blockbuster because of it. So now, I think I'm in the same situation (there is a Blockbuster DVD stuck in it). At this point, I'm starting to get very angry. I decide I will worry about that problem tomorrow and pop the DVD into the Playstation 2. The Playstation 2 should play DVDs right? I get a disc read error. Now, I'm getting even angrier and thinking about throwing something. I pull a DVD player out of my room and hook it up to the TV. This has to work, I'm thinking. I turn it on and nothing shows up on the TV screen. Apparently this POS doesn't work either. I sat there and pouted for a while, planning my next move while watching the miserable Reds play miserable baseball. I can't stand doing that anymore, so I pull out my work laptop, put my headphones on, and watch the damn DVD on my laptop. I think the laptop is lucky it decided to work (unlike my other supposed DVD playing contraptions), or I would have thrown it against the wall. I hate technology.
