Took my keyboard apart to give it a good scrub. Tried to dry the buttons with my hairdryer...

Buttons warped like Hell almost instantly...

After 30 seconds my spacebar looked like this:

Smile: Managed to get an out-of-print book through inter-library loan (The Short-Timers, the book Full Metal Jacket was based on.)

Frown: Discovered I should never have put off buying Sam & Max: Surfin' The Highway. Back in '08, it was like $35 for a new autographed hardcover copy. Now it's nearly $70 for the regular paperback version. :x :cry:

Nope, fortunately I kept my old keyboard as a backup. Using that one now...

Already ordered a new one. I've become so accustomed to my Cherry laptop keys I just don't want anything else anymore. Those keys are much more relaxed on the fingers. Found a new one from England for 20 euro shipping included. That's half of what the other sellers asked. It was his last one he said, so he was willing to lose money on this one. So naturally I jumped on it... ^^

You hot linking sob.

It's not that I hate Mondays, I was attempting to mock those who reply to questions about how they feel with answers of what day it is.

Q: Hey there Anne, nice shoes. How are ya today?
A: It's Monday.

Q: Anna Banana, sweet kicks. How ya doing?
A: It's Friday!

A conversation at the office is never:

Q: Manna Anna, I've got so many irons in the fire. What day is it?
A: I feel great.
