(no subject)
So there I am at my faithful computer, immersed in one of my current projects -- probably churning out house icons for newts_exam -- and I pause for a glass of water or something. But my doorknob doesn't work. I fiddle with it, and it still doesn't work. It makes this nasty grinding noise and refuses to turn, and I'm trapped in my room.
Finally I got out my handy cell phone and called upstairs for someone to get me out. Well, I wasn't going to do anything so crass as shout, was I?
Turns out the mechanism was broken. I now have a new doorknob, and it works like a dream. Funny, the things you take for granted... until they unexpectedly resign their functions.
My latest Weird Idea of the Day was to spontaneously do a web search on Mrs. Frisbee and the Rats of Nimh. Imagine my shock at finding this! It even has a 'Research Conducted' section.
The truth is out there.....
