dear diary,
i'm a bit torked off this afternoon. it all started so well too, with a fun morning with my daughter. but once i dropped her off, it all went to hell. first, i had to spend nearly $40 on gas for my car (but happily it was after i drove it nearly 400 miles). then i come home to watch the penn state football game, while doing some work on my laptop. my internet connection was fine, but when it came to use the wireless it wasn't. so i left the laptop on for a little bit to try again later.
penn state goes up 24-7 and i switch to watch something else since i figure psu will win. then i tip a drink onto my laptop's keyboard and quickly shut it down. i dry it off and an hour later try to turn it on. several repeating beeps later, i shut it off again. then i try once more and it starts up, but then shuts off without showing anything on screen.
so i put the rest of my drink on the floor away from my feet, near the other side of the couch. well, apparently when i moved my legs and the blanket that was on top of them, it tipped the drink over and went all over my floor (luckily they are hardwood floors).
i then switch back to check on the penn state game, and somehow, penn state is only up 31-28 with 9 minutes left in the game. michigan state comes back and scores to go up 35-31 and then game ends that way.
where's the feet, i say... where's the feet? (also known as wtf to those non-
wooters out there).

p.s. oh, and my backup power adapter for my laptop came in the mail today too... too bad i'll have to probably get a new laptop in which most likely this new adapter won't be compatible.
