The letters on my keyboard are beginning to wear off. The patchy N and M are not giving me a problem, but it is unexpectedly disturbing to have an O which looks like a C. I must look at the keyboard more than I think, while typing.

Also, I cannot draw pumpkins. Specifically, I cannot draw belly-dancing pumpkins. But now Hallowe'en's over there's not much point. Only saw one costume this year - a very small red dragon, presumably on his way to school.

Might stop posting about the difficulty of getting cabs to pick me up from the department, as a) it's a good road for empty cabs passing available for hire, and b) if you do this rather than pre-book it's £1.50 cheaper! Rar.

I'm have trouble imagining a belly dancing pumpkin, let alone thinking how I'd draw one.

I thought one pumpkin for the torso, and one for the hips, but I can't get it to look like anything other than a motionless stack of pumpkins. But, not a current priority...

Worried about key cap letters wearing off?

You need Das Keyboard!

That... Is coooool! I know what I want for my natal day.

There was a woman in our office who insisted on keeping her keyboard whenever she got a new computer, as the ergonomics of it were perfect for her. She'd had it so long she'd worn away most of the letters, but she didn't care as she was a touch typist and never looked at it. When IT had to sit at her desk to fix something, you could hear the screams from the next block.

Every so often I update my keyboard so that friends who come over and want to use it can actually see what they're typing. I've just noted with some satisfaction that my work keyboard is growing gouges. I have long fingernails most of the time and they carve out little ridges in the keys. Currently the n, a, s, and e are mildly affected.

Hm. With my dodgy A N M O have been moaning too much?

Nah, it'll mostly be down to the NOM NOM NOM comments.

At home my keyboard is on a keyboard tay, that's never fully pulled out. It may have symbols, it may not, I wouldn't know. :-)

Ummm, why belly dancing pumpkins, particularly?

[link] [reply]

They struck me as a good idea. I don't get out much, you know.

Pumpkin-headed bellydancer. FTW! :)

I saw a banana with a pitchfork on Mill Road last night.

Was it headed toward the old castle on the hill, to burn down the laboratory of the mad scientist in protest at their experiments in fruit-human hybrids?

Yes, I know bananas are a herb...

[link] [parent] [reply]

Are they? I had no idea. Like tomatoes aren't a vegetable apart from how they are, then.

No, it looked as if it was going underage drinking with its mates, actually.
