The weather in Philadelphia is consistently of a bright and warm nature.

Lately, I've discovered the joys of a cult tv show known as It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

As a result, I've been thinking up, and voicing, a multitude of puns twisting the title. The title of this blog is just one of the many I have written down.

While the show consistently treads dangerously close to the 'people will find this offensive' line, I actually have started to love it, and everyone is totally flawed. It's written in part by Charlie Day, the fantastic scientist from Pacific Rim.

I don't know if anyone reading this experiences this, but when I watch a show for an extended amount of time, I sometimes feel like parts of my life mirror it. Here, I'll give an example.

A short while ago, I was searching for my phone for some reason. My laptop, which was playing an episode of It's Always Sunny, slipped and fell the few feet down to the floor. The laptop fell shut and the episode kept playing, and I just sighed, swore a little, and picked it up.

The screen had gone white, with vague blue lines only visible at an angle.

In true comic fashion, I closed my eyes and shut the laptop again. I had hoped it would sort itself out if I did. It did not.

Instead of directly freaking out, I left it on my bed, and calmly walked downstairs, and made tea.

While I was there, I picked up the flatscreen TV we have so we can watch stuff on our laptops on bigger screens. Hooking it up is the only way I can see what's happening, because the sound is just fine, but the screen is utterly fucked.

And this honestly sounds like a subplot of one of those episodes. I keep hoping to god that the guys will all come in, solve the problem, and we'll all go back to the bar, and start over. But this is real life, and I just have to try to sort out this problem of mine.

Weirdly, I'm not freaking out too bad right now. I might, soon, once I realise I can't use my laptop anywhere except my desk. I can't use it in Sweden.

Oh god. I can't use it if I travel.

The world may as well be over right now, let's be honest.
