This is a bit of a public service announcement. I will not be carrying my phone around for the near future, because currently its buttons are a bit haywire. I left it on my desk and it regularly took pictures of the aforementioned desk without moving anything. Also, now, if I press, say, "1", it dials "*71" and tries to load it as a contact.

KGB elections were this Monday. I'm now second vice president.

This feels really strange for some reason. Essentially, I think, my brain is so used to knowing but not being on exec, or something like that, that the fact that now I am on exec is supremely confusing to it.

I feel dumb... I just remembered I have a hat that probably would have prevented most of my sunburn. I got sunglasses! Why did I forget the hat? (probably because it's not as immediately available...)

... and my screen's hinge just came apart again ( Read more... )

My laptop is kind of broken... one of the hinges cracked, and I haven't applied the superglue yet. Amusingly but conveniently, it's cracked in the "open" position, because the hinge has too much resistance to turn without the lever arm of the rest of the laptop, which is, I guess, important for keeping the screen up.

This is remarkably annoying.

So... Mechatronics ( Read more... )
