Do you see how they work? It because I fixed it.
For the last few days, my spacebar, b, and n have been tempermental, only working about 20% of the time. I tried to be patient with them, hoping that they might repent of their ways and return; I learned the alt-codes for b, n, B, and N, which make typing a little tedious but I was working with it. Thursday I gave up and replaced them. (I'm going to be a great church leader someday.)
I chatted with Kiran from Dell who didn't get any of my jokes, but did send me a replacement keyboard.
Last night, I got to gut my laptop in order to replace the keyboard myself. I was very brave. It's a little intimidating to peel back sections of one of the most expensive things that you own when the pieces that are supposed to snap out of place feel like they are probably just going to snap in general.
Now it's all better though and I can write about all sorts of things that are more than one word long.

That, my friend, is gusty! I'm so impressed with you. I'm terrified of computer surgery.
Also, HUGE congratulations on your concert this week. Are you still busy as can be?
I am so super impressed by your escapades. And I'm glad you didn't get electrocuted in my bedroom because then I probably would've had to do something with the body. I'm less okay with that.
But in any case, YAY you. I could never do such scary things.
I just want you to know how proud I am of you for actually finishing the job without having a breakdown. Once upon a time I was bored at work and decided to clean all the keyboards. While the little air compressor thing was doing a pretty good job I realized it would be even better if I took all the keys off and cleaned underneath the keys themselves. So I plunged ahead. Imagine how shocked I was later after putting all the keys back on to the keyboard only to find that the computer wouldn't accept any commands at all and the mouse stopped working. I had a bit of a conniption. I ran downstairs to tell our Computer Operations department that I had just destroyed a very expensive keyboard all in the name of fun and boredom. Good news is that they just had to restart the computer but for a while it was very, very scary. You just shouldn't break other people's computers. It's just awkward.
