I managed to spill coffee on my laptop on Monday. I think this is the first time I had a serious spill since half a bottle of wine got poured into my Vaio in 2001. The Vaio recovered after a few days' hangover and some cleaning. The MacBook Pro wasn't quite so lucky. The good news is that the spill only affected the keyboard and it's relatively simple to fix. The bad news is that it's going to take the store here 3-5 business days to do it. I'm really hoping that they fix it by Monday before I head out on another conference trip.

Living without a computer at home has been really weird. I've been able to devote more time to things like laundry, stretching, reading, and video games. It's refreshing, but after a few days I felt too antsy and finally broke down and borrowed fanlain's laptop last night to catch up on three days of livejournal. I can't wait to get my own laptop back, but perhaps once I do, I'll make more of an effort to put it away into the office and use it only for an hour or two at night.
