dancing in the streets

My replacement keyboard arrived today. The entire story of why I needed a replacement keyboard in the first place is long and painful to tell (synopsis, cats are evil), as is the story of why I hadn't replaced it earlier (synposis, I was blinded by rage and my research was faulty)... but I now have a fully functional keyboard that enables me to once again use the enter key. I am simply jumping for joy. The enter key is a horrible key to lose functionality of.

In other news, if you're looking for Christmas present ideas here's one.

The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood.

I'd prefer paperback, but it isn't released until March 2006.
