Technical Difficulties

I’m posting from my eMac right now. This keyboard is a real pain in the arse to use. I can sort of type blindly now, but not very well so I have to glance at the keys. When I do, I just see the messed-up characther layout and my fingers freeze up. Very awkward indeed.

But anywho… I wasn’t feeling too good today, I woke up in the middle of the night with pains and most of today my stomach felt tight. I blew off hanging out with Grover this afternoon - just couldn’t face going around town feeling that way - but I did go to see Signs with Eoin (whom shall be henceforth referred to as the Film Student). It wasn’t that good. It had a weird vibe, possibly intentional, but it made it difficult to get really involved in the story. That, and M. Night Shyamalan put Hitchcock to shame with his cameo. He should stick to what he’s good at; he’s worse than Mamet’s wife.

This keyboard is really fucking awkward. And this mouse thing is gonna take some getting used to; specifically, the lack-of-a-right-click thing.
