Marital Bliss

I was going to either type out a well written post about my crack like addiction to Diet Coke (seriously, what DO they put in that??) or what I am  learning from The Five Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman.  Was going to,  not am.

The Road to Blogging is paved with good intentions, but then laptop power  supplies go all hinky and haywire and said blogger is left hammering on her  husband’s computer’s keyboard.

Marital bliss it seems may not lie in understanding your spouse’s love languages but rather in having separate computers.

My laptop really belongs to my school and they graciously  allow me to bring it home at  night. It’s black, shiny and new.

Ismael’s computer was purchased second hand and I am wrestling withthis keyboard simply to get spaces to show up where they belong and to not delete too many letters when I make a mistake. The backspace key is overzealous and ADHD while the space  key is definitely oppositional defiant.

Giving up on doing any actual real work, I opened Firefox and to rot my brain to do important  research.  Where my computer has important shortcuts saved like Facebook and  Twitter, Ismael has hotmail, magicjack, French telelvision, the hollywood report and C-span.

Somehow in simply trying to open CNN I landed on Bonferey TV. My thoughts went something  like this:

….why does Firefox underline everything I type in red?  Oh yeah, Ismael has the language set  to  French. Now that is helpful.

…Okay…click on C-N-N.C-O …. no no no!!  French TV!

…No, no STOOOOOP.   GO back, go back, go back, why won’t this  tab close?

….why a pop up window?  Why is it trying to open  “dead  sea scrolls??”

….what … the … holy … hell… is …wrong …with …this …thing????

….and yes, of course,  now it is  locked up and the screen is blank white.

…ctrl….alt….where is the delete????

…wwaaaaahhhh….. I want my own computer  back.

At which point, I was so frustrated I went and did laundry because that was actually preferable to  using this  computer.

I can’t believe I  even typed those words.

So I’ll be on a blogging break for  a few days due to technical difficulties.
