Given how much of my life involves coffee and keyboards, you'd think they'd get on a bit better.

Hopefully the keyboard will make a full recovery - these things are bastards to take apart completely - but it's not out of the woods yet. I can't really afford a new one. (And no, I'm not typing on it now!)

Could've been Coke, I suppose...

ETA: IT LIVES. And now it's all clean, too. I'd forgotten it was this colour.

Oh, is that what happened? You can pick up keyboards really cheaply, if you're just using a standard one. Hell, my future mini-wireless-with-integral-trackpad-all-singing-all-dancing keyboard is only forty-something quid. Normal ones are about a tenner, I think.

What happened with the eBay dress? I popped into Edinburgh Fabrics and they have a couple of potential strappy things, nothing that exciting but might do.

Do you have any idea where you've proofread to in Drac? Nothing in the future is marked as proofread, and the last two entries weren't either. The next entry's on the 29th and there's a bit of a cluster around there, although July is almost as dead as June.

Apple's basic keyboard costs £19, plus delivery/train ticket depending on whether it comes to me or I go to it. Currently I've got - *checks wallet* - £3.26, so this is why I'm hoping the current one will stage a recovery...

Nothing beyond now is proofread in Dracula - I'll do Thursday's before I put it up. Even if the keyboard is utterly dead by then, I'll be in the office most of the time until Friday, so I'll get a chunk of the upcoming ones done too.

The dress is mine all mine! It hasn't arrived yet (so, er, here's hoping it fits, although the measurements given were fine). I'll get a picture up from home - again, assuming the keyboard lives!

I. WANT. A. LINK. TO. THE. DRESS.

So is it black, after all that fussing about how black makes you look dead?

That was me, obviously; D had logged me out. I've realised that I shouldn't sulk, because he couldn't log me back in as he doesn't know my password.

Just send a link to the eBay auction, you can do that even though it's finished. Go through "My eBay". There's a good girl. We wants to see it, precious.

Black really, truly does make me look dead, and not even in an interesting way.

(this is, it should be pointed out, not me with a sudden and inexplicable tan.)

Well, I was more worried about the missing head...

Ooh, rather nice. I automatically started calculating which of my scarves would suit it, but then slapped myself. (The turquoise one.) So you'll be needing white straps? Some species of white ribbon might be the best. And then go and get a suitably well-fitting white bra! One which is pure white (as opposed to ones which have been washed so many times they're not-quite-virginal any more), has plain straps, little or no pattern, and probably a balconette style. How are you planning to accessorise the dress?
