it's on like donkey kong
i got another copy of Troll II in the mail today, so it's still on for this weekend.
i just accidentally knocked over a cup of kool-aid. it poured out and the puddle made for the edge of the desk, headed straight toward the keyboard (the keyboard was on the sliding part beneath it, so this would been bad. especially since we've already lost one keyboard that way already). somehow, i made some ridiculously graceful and quick maneuver and slid the keyboard back under the desk with my left hand while swiping up the cup and then a roll of paper towels and catching and containing the stream with my right hand.
it was one of the most fluid, precise, beautiful things i've ever done. i had total mastery of every part of my body.
really, you should have seen it.
and then you should have left immediately.
once i got everything under control, my whole body did one of those, "damn, that was smooth" gestures, in which every part of you, especially your hands/arms and head, kinda dips down a bit and bounces back up, like a body-sigh or some such, and my hand tipped over the glass.
the almost-half-glass of kool-aid that was left quickly jumped out. this time, in a different direction. it all poured directly onto my mouse, covering it, and once again i realized that i had returned to being my regular, dumb-as-dirt, clumsy-ass self. luckily, the mouse appears to be funtioning properly.
but man, i was a ninja for a good few seconds there.
