keyboard mishaps, version 2.0


finally, finally--the periods are fixed. after a long week without my favorite kind of dot, the handy-dandy sony man came and replaced my keyboard with one that is far whiter--and less lacking in essential punctuation--than my old one. but, alas, all is not yet well with red's computer.

oh, no, no, no.

after getting back from a weekend with the girls in the countryside--also known as new jersey--i discovered the newest plague to affect my keyboard. perhaps you can guess so far. no, you say. ok, fine, i'll spill the news. the shift keys--the keys that trigger question marks, exclamation points, parentheses, and colons, not to mention capital letters--are the latest to fail.

ah, but the sony man insists--it must've been a glitch with the installation. someone will be there soon.

and eatmywords is on hold, once again, due to the unfavorable fortune bestowed by the punctuation gods.
