He screwed up, and he wants you to know how bad he feels about it.
Yes, LOL. That was hilarious. I am especially impressed by his ability to maintain that contrite tone and demeanor even when the gun is like an inch from his head. He doesn’t flinch, laugh, or look to the side at whoever’s arm is in that fuzzy glove.
Very well done, and very funny. See? We have a sense of humor about ourselves!
Well, I do, at least. I’m sure there are furries who will get their tails in a knot over it.
Then the joke is on you, fellow fuzzies. Relax!
The dry run
No really. They do.
Seriously though. Today, as it turns out, was a dry run for when spuug REALLY comes over to put my new computer together.
He came over, which was very sweet of him. He took my computer apart. He took my new motherboard out of its box.
And he quickly determined that there was no way said motherboard would fit in my weirdly small computer case.
Turns out the motherboard is “Micro ATX” and the case is “Micro ITX”, the I in this case apparently standing for “ittybitty”.
Well, that put the kibosh on that. And at first, I thought I was going to have to wait until next Deposit Day, Feb 14, to get the case. Sad face. 🙁
But then I thought, I might have enough left in the deposit I made on Joe’s credit card for a really cheap case.
So I poked around online to see if there were cases I could afford.
Turns out there was. On Amazon. But it would take more than a week to get to me and cost me $17 for shipping.
But then I thought, why not buy it from a dealer here? Like an actual brick and mortar store located right here in Richmond?
Hey, remember those?
So I looked it up on the website of Canada Computer and lo and behold, there was a plain black case on sale for $60, no shipping, just PST.
So I ordered it, and when it’s ready for pickup, Julian is going to pick it up for me. Then I will email spuug to tell him I’m ready for real now, and he will come over again and this time we will get the job done.
Hopefully, that will happen Friday.
Oh well. At least one thing went right today : I got my new keyboard.
Yay, I can type the letters W, S, and X once more!
I can finally continue my correspondence with my friend in Wessex.
And my friend at Windex, come to think of it.
The new keyboard is smaller than the one it’s replacing, though, so it is going to take some time to re-learn to type with my big fat fingers.
I am already starting to get used to it, though, so no worried.
*sigh* Nothing is ever easy, is it? Nothing is ever simple.
But whatever comes up, I’ll deal with it.
I always do.
I messed up
When spuug came over, I totally forgot to eat lunch.
D’oh! I should never miss a meal. And the worst part of it is that by the time I realized what I had done, it was practically time for supper, and therefore way too late to fix it.
All I can do now is resume my usual routine and hope it works out.
Oh, and I am afraid you lovely folks won’t be getting the full 1K words today. By the time spuug finished putting my computer back together and left, it was 7:30 pm, and I knew I would not have the time for two writing sessions.
If only typing on the tablet didn’t suck so bad, I could blog there.
Ah well. Things will go back to normal soon, and I will have a lovely new computer that runs zippy quick to play with, and things will be better.
Just have to make it through the usual turbulence first.
See you on the other side of it!
I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
