You know what I wish?  I wish when you plug in a USB mouse to a laptop, the buttons on the touchpad disable.  I'm writing from the campus commons, and I've accidentally right-clicked with the palm of my hand four time in the ten minutes the computer's been on.  It's really annoying.

I'm staying late tonight (my classes usually wrap up at 4) so I can audition (first ever audition!  Eek!) for the school/community production of Antigone at 7 o'clock (meaning tonight will be my first solitary nighttime drive home.  Eek again!).  I had originally thought to go for a minor role, but as there are only three female characters...  Well, I think my new motto is "Aim high.  There are more things to grab on the way down."

So, chilling my heels in the commons.  I've got the computer (dammit, moss6886, it's not named BonBon!!!), I've got food, I've brought my guitar just in case I get really bored.

...

The Pepsi machine is evil.  Oh, sure, it took my five quarters.  But it must be unbalanced or something, because they just lodged right behind the coin slot, instead of falling down into the machine.  So I'm out $1.25, and I still don't have anything to drink ::dies of dehydration::.  Crap.  :(

...

Carrying on, there also should be a presentation a presentation to do with a study abroad trip to Ireland starting in a few minutes, so there should be enough for me to do without going insane from boredom.

To the Great and Powerful FList:  OMG!  I'm going to miss Bones!  Please, tell me where I can find a crappy low-res download of it tomorrow!  Pretty pretty please?

Can't help with the Bones - but I do sympathise with you on the mouse/touchpad thing. I can type quite quickly, but not totally by touch, so I don't read what I'm typing as I go along - and then realise that I have inadvertently left clicked by touching the pad, and the words have jumped back to where I last left the cursor - giving me total gibberish - aaargh!

I've (so far) managed not to do it while typing, as I keep my wrists high and a bit to the outside. My main problem is when I'm sitting in a comfy chair, it's often more comfortable for me to use the mouse on the opposite side of the touchpad. Then I wrest my wrist for a second and... clicky. Grr.

Well, it's nearly 7. Wish me luck!
