I Screamed But It Was Too Late

So last night I'm assuming the proper blogger position (in my underwear in my mom's basement ) - sitting down in my big comfy chair and preparing to finish a couple articles, one for this site, one for another.

My laptop bag is open in front of the end table, with my beloved Macbook Pro inside, and as I reach for the bag, some jackass (me) has left a huge glass of water right in front of it, which I tip over and the entire contents go into the top of the bag, at which point I went: (G-rated version):

AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I might as well flooded the laptop bag. Needless to say it didn't fire up. I immediately shut it down and removed the battery, made no attempt to attach it to power as I know better than that.

So, we'll see what happens in a couple days as it dries out. In the mean time I'll feel naked and alone. Sad that I have that big a connection to a piece of electronics.

All of the fabulous links I've collected for the CWS are on that laptop. I've started on the book review cycle again and have a couple ready to go -  on that laptop. Snarky follow ups to previously dead issues that I'd like to resurrect - all on that laptop.

Poo (not really what I'm thinking, but it's family friendly)

I have a loaner I'll carry from work - a lenovo Thinkpad R61e (okay laptop, but a POS compared to a Macbook Pro) with clacky keys.

Crap baskets (insert your favorite talk like a sailor phrase here). I hope the thing comes back to life. Until then... well, I'll do my best (with a lot of bitterness that I'll take out on everyone and everything around me).

CWS starts Saturday, remember. Not Friday. That's really confusing, isn't it?

A bunch of good teams (not including Arizona State) play each other in an exciting example of collegiate sports at its finest.

Argh. I say again. Argh.

That's quite a collection of tags, there Corn Blight

At least it was water, though, right?

I have this awesome series of pictures of a giant wall of salt water coming straight at me, courtesy of Sea World’s Shamu. Now, of course, the $800 camera is covered in salt, and I have to manually lift the flash. See? Yours was a mistake; mine just sheer stupidity.

Great pictures, though. ;-)

Go Vols!

Sorry to hear it.

That really sucks. Hope your computer dries out!

You should consider using del.icio.us or “add to google reader” to collect your bookmarks. Then they’re in the cloud when you need them.

I use newsgator for everything…. so it syncs online – on the laptop – I use NetNewswire…. but man, what a pain to change the process from a mac to a PC for the interim. it sucks!
