Bullet-points of busy.

* Busier than God.

* Remember, this is a paid LJ, and emailing me is way more likely to get a response than sending something to my LJ inbox.

* If you do send something to my LJ inbox, please make sure you haven't turned on the privacy options that prevent me from replying? Because seriously, I'm very blonde, I wind up sitting here, clicking and looking confused, for hours. And that's just no fun at all.

* Siamese cats + the shower = hysterical win.

* I broke my glasses while I was in Ohio; today, I went and had an eye exam to get new ones. Monday, I go to the doctor. It's like medical adventure-land over here, and normally, that's only fun when someone else gets to be the victim.

* Washing your flash drive is scary but entertaining afterwards.

...and that's the news. More later, when I'm breathing again.

Busier than God ON ELECTION DAY? That is busy :-)

It was impressive. I'm better now, but wow, was there flailing.

Washing your flash drive?

Is your flash drive like my magic flash drive that fell in a cup of water, a cup of juice and got smashed into five peices three times and STILL works?

Yeah. I accidentally ran my flash drive through the washing machine. Cue hysterical flailing, followed by resignation and eating of ice cream, followed by retrieval of the flash drive...

...only to discover that it really didn't mind the adventure one little bit.

Ahhh.

I was going "No fair, what does yours do? Mine only blinks rapidly" but nevermind. Big time. Mine probably would mind. Not to mention that if it managed to get put in the washing machine, two car remote controls and two flashlights would have automatically followed it, being all of the same carabiner chain. Which wouldn't be good.

ETA: That possibly makes more sense if I mention that I misread it as watching the flash drive. Washing it would indeed make things a bit more entertaining. Or ice-cream-needing. Or something.

Ahhh. Yeah, all mine does in the 'watch this' category is blink rapidly. But it's also apparently protected by the dark forces. Which I really appreciate.

protected by the dark forces

What, it's a Microsoft product? :)

But yes, protection by dark forces is useful.

There's a fairly common rumor of my having sold my soul for pumpkin cake.

How much pumpkin cake?

(Your soul is impressive; you should at least have gotten a lifetime's (or perhaps eternity's) supply.)

Believe me, there was a LOT of cake involved.

But then you sneeze in the same room as my computer speakers and they die. There is some inconsistancies in electronics manufactoring.

Absolutely. I blame it on whether something is viewed as highly-desired and thus replaceable (computer speakers, phones, both of which seem built to break) or specialized and thus subject to angry geeks coming at you with pitchforks.
