So it survived after all, and other random bits
As i’m sure you’ve all been dying with suspense, my keyboard did survive the Mountain Dew Incident. I put it back together this morning, and it all works pretty well. With one or two minor exceptions: I have to hit the end key kinda hard, and the dishwasher warped the top cover a bit, so its naked. It looks odd, but works. I’m gonna try it for a day and see if its comfortable enough to type on. If not, I’ll order a new one, and this one can become spare.
Saw Scary Movie 4 over the weekend. Funny flick, to be sure, and its great to see a spoof of such huge crappy blockbusters. *cough*waroftheworlds*cough*
Nighthawk is well over 21000 miles, and there’s no end in the increase in sight. Of course, there’s no end in sight for rising gas prices. Maybe the CEO of Exxon-Mobil will stop eating babies long enough to realize that his world is about to become a shitstorm.
Also the fact that the first follow-up to Half-Life 2 is being released on June 1st completely slipped under my radar. All I know is that I’ll be playing it on June 1st. Also, apparently Earth 2160 came out, and I missed that too. I don’t know how I keep doing that. I guess I’ve been too caught up in Civ4 lately. So much so that I haven’t played as much Empires at War as I would have wanted. Hopefully someday i’ll have a method to control time, and get everything done that I want.
Also, starting watching one of the mid-season replacements on NBC, Teachers. I really only did it because Sarah Alexander from Coupling (the good British version, not the the trite American knock-off) is on it. It’s pretty funny, but I don’t know how much staying power it has.
