In which we learn that Jenn is an idiot
Dec. 10th, 2007 12:22 amSo today I made ginger cookies (okay, not gingerbread b/c I still don't have a cutter or the right kind of vinegar, ANYWAY) and I used black treacle, which turned out to be the closest thing to molasses. (As in, thick, black and sticky like tar.) And while I was making said cookies I was using a recipe online and also talking to my brother on skype. So that means my computer was in the kitchen. Which, ok, stupid - but you know how it is with a laptop? You just get used to lugging it everywhere, and it's not like you aren't concerned with its safety, but you kind of figure you are enough of an adult to deal with it and not mess it up. Is this true of Jenn? OH NO. People, here we go:
I SPILLED BLACK TREACLE (OK MOLASSES) ON THE KEYBOARD OF MY MACBOOK PRO. SERIOUSLY, I DID THIS TODAY.
I am an idiot. Now, as you can see from the fact that I am doing this entry (and it's the only computer I own) said computer is still working. I got a cloth with hot water and wiped it up immediately and most of the scary amount of treacle came away with the cloth. But it went UNDER THE KEYS PEOPLE. UNDER THE FRAKKING KEYS OF MY MACBOOK PRO. (Okay, forgive the caps but I'm a little upset. There is no one here to complain to except my brother who already got a full earful of cursing over skype.) So right now the keyboard works, but the H key and the N key are very very tight and sticky. The H key is the worst. Every time I press it, it just kind of STAYS DOWN and then slowly slowly eases up. This seriously freaks me out. I'm taking it to the Mac store tomorrow. Perhaps they have a way to pry the keys up and clean them? I don't know, I didn't want to experiment.
Geez. What a thing to happen. I'm an idiot for sure.
