I think a little piece of me died around halfway through this video.

Boom De Ah Dah!

The most amazing thing happened during Biology yesterday.

We were given a worksheet to help us prepare for the upcoming test, with the answers supposedly attached to the back. Being obviously too lazy to copy the answers from the whiteboard, we flipped to the back of the worksheet to take a look at the answers.

For some reason, the answers didn't seem to match. We then took a look at the title of the answer key. Apparently, she had attached the answers for the test to the back of every worksheet given out (we assumed this was by accident).

There was this dawning moment of comprehension.

And then complete chaos.

God knows we need more incidents like this. Makes life a whole lot more interesting (or bearable, for that matter).

Here's an inspirational video anyhow. I think everyone needs something uplifting now and then.

Keyboardisms

My computer has decided that it would be funny to completely screw up it's keyboard on Youth Day. I have spent the past 12 hours praying for a miracle from the Tech gods, but I'm not expecting much, considering that I have ceased my stream of offerings since the last incident. I think I've been taking them for granted a little too much as of late.

I attempted to repent by house-cleaning my computer, and abstaining from chocolate for the day, but apparently, they aren't feeling particularly merciful today. After drawing a prayer circle, and flogging myself with a banana skin, I tried typing a sentence without the help of my handy external keyboard.

What it was meant to sound like: "Dear tech gods, I am sincerely repentant. Now fix my laptop."

This is how it turned out: "Dar tc g8ds, 6 am s6ncrly rpntant Now 6x my lapt8p"

I laughed when I read the last sentence (which is funny if you read it out loud), but I had to gag myself with the banana skin because I was trying to be solemn.

I have since given up on appeasing them, and come up with a god-awful rig that involves placing the laptop on two tissue boxes (yes, tissue boxes), and hooking up an external keyboard under it. My wrists are left dangling though, which has proved intensely uncomfortable, and has increased typing stress to an unbearable level. Perhaps suffering a little more might solicit a little sympathy from the tech gods, although I'm not too hopeful about that.

After my recent MMORPG disasters, I have decided to take a leap into the unknown, and try out the World of Warcrack. It took a good amount of faith to attempt this, but I was curious to know if my luck had picked up. Downloading it has unsurprisingly taken 14 hours of prayer, hope, hearbreak, and a good amount of staring at the monitor, hoping that intense concentration might help the download speed pick up. The download speeds have since been erratic, the estimated-time-of-completion's have stretched into the hours, and I swear I can hear laughter somewhere inside my earphones.

The Tech gods have a sick sense of humor.
