Right so I was celebrating new outlines on about 40% of my back with a nicecivilized glass when it suicided into my keyboard. Should have a new one soon, just letting peopleknow. Currently using Windows clicky kb hing.

Aha! Here I was thinking of an actual philips/flathead screwdriver. Hur.

Thank you, Bosstone. Now if only I could quickly get the hang of the new keyboard... at least it glows!

If its not a wireless keyboard you can run it through the dishwasher.

Just sayin.

This is actually why I have an el cheapo spare I keep around, mostly for doing new computer builds but useful if my keyboard dies.

You're assuming I have a dishwasher :P

They work cheap. You can probably get one for minimum wage.

Next drink coming up, wish me luck. I think Formspring is making me an exhibitionist :|

It could be worse, you could have spilled it on a laptop keyboard. My mother has destroyed multiple laptops that way.

Mind you, this is the... fifth or sixth beyboard I've ruined this way myself. OJ in particular seems to be drawn to them. First one was wireless, since then I've only bought cheap ones.

Christ. I almost knocked over the vodka bottle this time around. Luckily it would have been closed. And no, I'm not plastered yet, I just managed to ensnare the bottle with the headphones' cable.

Ha! True story: Back when I was very heavily into fantasy LARP I'd use vodka and duck tape to fix up all the little wounds and scratches you'd eventually gather from fighting through underbrush and taking dives on cobbled roads. Never once got an inflammation unlike virtually everyone around me.

Also, I'm miffed. Out of OJ, halfways down the vodka bottle and not even tipsy.

No, no, no!

But you can spill all the screwdrivers you want after that!

Although you shouldn't be spilling them in the first place..

Alcohol abuse, man. Not cool.

Doesn't change the fact that I'm out of OJ and the only thing I feel is a need to Vogue along to Slayer.

I have... just hard to get plain blood orange juice here. It's always cut with grapefruit or dragonfruit. The former makes it too bitter, the latter too sweet for me.

Mmmm... Blood orange juice.
