When I was laying in bed last night I had an idea for a post that I actually thought would be as enjoyable for others to read as it would have been for me to write.
As fate would have it however, whatever part of the brain is in charge of my motor skills either decided that laptops are the devil's way of providing people with the sin of convenience, or it just went plain retarded for a minute while I was at the coffee shop the other day. While I was attempting to unravel my mouse cord to plug it into my opened up and powered on computer the cord lassoed around my vente (read: 20 oz) cup of coffee and corralled it directly on to my laptop keyboard. In the movies computers spark, fizzle, and smoke when these kinds of things happen. It's about ten times more aggravating in real life though because it just up and shuts off. No theatrics, just one minute it's your desktop on the screen and the next it's black. Kind of like life...if coffee could instantaneously kill you I guess. As if spilling coffee on my laptop wasn't enough of a dick-slap from god, within the next 8 hours following that event I spilled water on my school notes while still at the coffeeshop and spilled red wine on the white carpet in my room.
I've been letting the laptop "air-dry" for the past few days with no success. When I got back to my room from class today there was actually a light flashing on it. Me, being my ever-optimistic self, thought for a minute that my luck had changed and if I just plugged in the power it would magically work. I was wrong. It turns out the universe is a dark, cold, and lonely place and we all die in pain.
The point is, I was GOING to make an awesome post last night that I just KNOW you would have loved. Unfortunately, the lack of a laptop, the fact that the school library is only open til 9 p.m. (this actually makes it one of the most "night-owl" friendly buildings in the entirety of Fairfield,) and my bedtime is somewhere closer to the 11:00-1:30 range, means that what you're getting instead is a blog about the amazing blog you could have gotten last night. If only I could remember what it was...
