miracles happen. to me.
I was going to write about requesting DVDs at the library, but then a small miracle happened. By mistake, I clicked on a link with the broken mouse button, and it actually clicked through!This is a miracle because some water spilled on my keyboard a while ago, and it disabled one of the trackpad click buttons -- the left one, to be exact. The one that you might use for just about everything (except when you need the right one, but that is almost never).
I practically took my computer apart trying to fix this problem. I was sure it was a contact, so I took out the keyboard and dusted and cleaned and still the thing didn't work. It must have fried the wiring.
How it started working for me today, I have no goddamn idea. In any case, I hope it lasts. Using it still makes me a little nervous, like the computer might change its mind. It would really suck if I wake up tomorrow morning and realise that the fixed button was just a dream.
Oh, about the DVD: it seems that the 80 available copies of Little Miss Sunshine at the library have 1038 holds on them. I, too, was going to request this Oscar-nominated film. When I saw the hold count, though, I balked at the idea and have since decided to hit the video store. Who wants to be the prat who signs up to be number 1039 in the queue? I mean really!
