My laptop still sucks

Yes, $208 later, the “l” key still seems to be imbued with evil magic powers. And I’ve been working furiously the past two days. I do have some lovely and funny photos to share, but I don’t have time to upload them. And tomorrow I’ll be further wrangling with computer techs and continuing to send e-mails that don’t contain the letter “l.” Without even trying, I have typed “l” thirteen times in this paragraph. And every time I touch the key, my computer screen jumps and flashes and the toolbar either vanishes or reappears.

Anyone have anything mildly more interesting going on in your life? Please?

    My car’s engine exploded over the weekend. While it earned me three separate lectures on putting oil in my car, today upon further questions, my husband discovered that they “have no clue” what happened. It just exploded.

    Also, while my car sat in the service center’s parking lot, some lovely hometown boys broke into it via the back window and stole an old debit card and all my (burned) cd’s. *sigh*

    It’s getting towed to a friends, getting the window fixed and a new engine next weekend.

    Until then? I’m borrowing a friend from churh’s Saab Convertible. Sweet!

    Oh, and I talked to Kris today and we talked about Rocky and his massiveness.

    Mildly more interesting? Well, I’ll soon be leaving Ashevegas for Little Rock, AR. A major step up in the old career. Fortunately,
    LR is surprisingly progressive in many ways and has a lot happening.

    Know anyone who wants to take over my ashevillepubcrawl.com pages?

    The Redhead and I are closing on our house tomorrow, despite the seller’s best efforts to thwart us with their insanity.

    I have been spending every spare moment reading and re-reading your husband’s interview in the local paper.

    I would keep an eye on that Queen Rania, frankly.

    Instead of typing “I,” you could use the royal “we.”

    My big news - new job starting Aug 15 - yeah!

    Wow, Autumn, nice church friends. Glad sumo cat’s giving you something to chat about!

    No, pubcrawler, Little Rock?

    Don’t cut your hair, Ash. Your inner long-haired hippie wants out!

    There are several large armed Arab men keeping an eye out for Queen Rania, ja. I think they do a pretty good job!

    Rio, new jobbie? It’s “l” as in lovely, large, lollipop, licorice, not I.

    I don’t have anything going on that is as good as that.

    I sympathize with Autumn. I just spent almost $300 on a new starter for my poor little car. $300 and I’ll never see it and I barely know what it looks like anyway. Blah.
    On the plus side, I’ve been selling a few things on my craft page lately and that makes me happy!
    Edgy- did you take it to Charlotte St. Computers? They do wonders.

    Exciting here: new pool will be started next Tuesday! Check out flickr photos if interested.
    I hate laptops.

    EM–

    Most laptop keyboards are pretty easy to replace. Might even be under warranty, but they tend to be pretty inexpensive even off-warranty.

    If you’re satisfied that the evil software has been eradicated from Solace, then a hardware fix may be in order.

    Cheers,

    Obviously, I’ve been way too swamped with work stuff to read as carefully as I should :) I still like the idea of using the royal “we!”
